protonix ulcer

My 19 year old daughter has just been diagnosed wtih an esophogeal ulcer. She was prescribed 40mg of Protonix once a day. She has been taking this medication for one week, and has been experiencing dizziness and nausea. She weighs about 120 lbs. I looked online, and it appears that these are side effects that some patients experience. My question is: would Nexium pose the same problems for her?

Nevermind, my pharmacist said I wasn't drinking enough water when I took it, and that worked.

I've had a bad ulcer for the past few months, and just recently got a new job. I'm on Protonix and aloe Vera capsules, but I still get nauseous way to often and my stomach burns every few hours... my question is: is there a way to help ulcer pain without eating? I lost a job because of this stomach issue and just recently got a new one. I'm in school so I have to be making money to stay in school, but I don't want to get fired for having to eat so often and drink so often.

I drink aloe vera juice to sooth my insides from my acid reflux and bc I have an ulcer. I have had an ulcer for a month and it dont seem to be healing bc I have so much acid in my stomach all the time. I do not want to take dangerous un natural meds or over the ocunter things like rolaids and I have tried all the over counter meds in the past and that didnt help. my doctor only wants to get money so she offers me the msot expensive dangerous med out there it seems.

Hello, has anyone ever taken PPIs or acid blockers (such as Prilosec, Prevaid, Nexium, Protonix, Zantac, Pepcid, etc) & had an increase or randomly started having OCD or anxiety? I had peptic ulcer a while back (not caused by h. pylori), & all of these meds seem to make my OCD almost intolerable. I thought the issue could have been that they were making my medications not absorb properly, but it looks like these meds actually cause temporary changes in the brain for some people?

I went to a gi specialist they did a endoscopy and colonoscopy everything was normal I got a hiana hernia and a small ulcer to they got me on protonix 40 mg but scared to take it I have been taking gaviscon instead I don't know what meds you can or can not take with protonix

I have been taking 40mg Omeprazole for a year now for a stomach ulcer and because I also take celebrex 200mg for osteoarthritis I also have diverticulitis/ diverticulosis and had 30 polyps removed from my colon dec.

I was prescribed protonix (40mg/daily) for 2 months after an endoscopy showed some inflammation in my stomach (ruled out ulcer and celiac). After 1 month of daily use I started to feel awful - my hands and arms were tingling, I felt off balance, like I was walking through a haze at all times, like I might pass out more than once a day, and started having what I thought were sensory migraines.

mmm since milk helps you out and you have strong pain and reflux that pretty much points out an ulcer of some sort - milk has calcium that helps ulcers so that's probably why you feel better on milk, i'm curious if some sort of ulcer has developed...usually with all the acid blocking meds you've taken you wouldn't get one unless it was an infection like h.ployri. I'm sure you've been tested for h. ploryi..

Diagnosed via endoscopy with a small gastric erosion compatible with gastritis several months ago (negative for h.pylori). Have tried Protonix for 3 months, Dexilant for 2 months, Nexium for 2 weeks (felt worse), and have been on Carafate for a month. I've also tried some "at home remedies". Nothing works. I went to see my primary care Dr. for stress/anxiety and he thinks that may be why my stomach is not healing.

Currently, I am taking Protonix in the am and pm for heartburn problems that I have had for about 3 years (Dr thinks that it was likely GURD related symptoms). Recently replaced Protonix with Dexilant in the pm. Any advice would be great.

I was recently diagnosed with a stomach ulcer via endoscopy. I’ve been having the symptoms on and off for over a year. I had been taking low dose aspirin everyday for a few years before this, and stopped taking it over 6 months ago. I get a burning/gnawing pain in the center of my upper abdomen that is usually better after I eat a large meal. I get bloating also. It feels worse if I am upset or stressed and also if I do excersize that causes me to tense my ab muscles.

He was considering doing some true gall bladder tests but said he suspected maybe an ulcer, gastroenteritis?, or maybe IBS. So he prescribed me Hyoscyamine and Protonix, saying he thought maybe the odd shaped poops were being caused by my colon spasming and pushing them into odd shapes. I took the Protonix and hadn't yet started on the other drug and within a day everything returned to normal, I felt great and my poops were back to their normal shape and size.

H.pylori is one of the main causes of peptic ulcers and acid reflux. It's the bacteria you get in your stomach when you have too little acid. It's easily fixed and you can go on antibiotics to get rid of it. I think takes around 2 weeks but don't quote me on that. If you leave it unchecked you can possibly get an ulcer from it. Also taking acid blockers like prevacid and protonix would only make it worse if you don't take the antibiotics as well.

I've been having pain under my left rib cage for several months now. At first, it would go away for awhile and then come back, but now it is basically constant. Burning pain in a distinct spot. I also have sporadic burning pain under my left breast area. Sometimes my back hurts along the same line as my front rib pain. I also have the same burning pain right above my navel. I thought it might be an ulcer, but when I started having pain in more than one area, I'm not so sure.

I have a stomach ulcer that will not heal no matter what medicine I'm given. It's been about a year. I was given a blood test and biopsy during endoscopy for h.pylori and both were negative. I read that there is a possibility of false negative test results if the person has been taking acid blocking medications.

I've been diagnosed with Peptic Ulcer Disease and currently take Protonix and Carafate and I think I've developed some side effects to the Protonix (Cough, Dizzy, ligthheaded, lower back pain.) Also...I suffer from bad belching, gas and pressure which I just found out is something called Dyspepsia. Over the past 4 years I've taken aspirin on a regular bases for headaches and general body aches and pains and read on a website that aspirin can be a major contributor to Dyspepsia.

s Natl Med Ctr she was diagnosed with a duodenul ulcer. She was d/c with oral pain medication and continued to have abdominal pain that often radiated to her r flank. Several more visits with specialists and PCP she was considered to have somotization disorder. 4 months ago she was hospitalized again for 4 days and her ulcer was rechecked and healed, so she was diagnosed with mesenteric adenitis. She is on 30mg of Lexapro a day. Protonix twice a day. She is 5'4" 170 lbs.

Thanks for taking the time to answer. The stool is slightly darker than clay color. The first movement when I first get up is normal. Then the breakfast triggers a diarrhea type movement, I do get a lot of fiber from diet., but that does not explain the stomach pain. I think I'm getting over a peptic ulcer, beccause my stomach always hurts when it's empty.

I started taking Protonix daily and watched what I ate. I have a lot of bloating and gas and a little bit of pain. My symptoms are not too severe all the time but I start to panic when I get in a quiet environment like a classroom or a work meeting. I get really worried about having an episode. Unfortunately, the panicking makes me have an episode of bloating, gas, and pain. I don't mind the pain but the bloating and gas episodes are not allowing me to do day to day tasks.

I should be on 75 mg Voltaren bid w/40 mg Protonix for 3 months. I also have Norco 10/325 to use before PT or as needed. I have good range of motion, can walk unassisted, etc, but still have a lot of swelling, stiffness and pain related to that. (I also have Baker's Cyst behind that knee). I went off all the meds when symptoms started, but need to return to work and can't elevate and ice. Do I have any other options?
