ranitidine gerd

re taking Ranitidine, namely GERD has been associated with arrhythmia. Interestingly, the day I cut as many carbohydrates from my diet as I could was the last day I needed to take Ranitidine.

I feel bloated for a week now. I have been taking ranitidine 150mg 2x a day. It doesn't seem to work. Also, I am not able to breathe properly. I have a history of asthma. Does Gerd and Asthma go hand in hand? Moreover, I just have a feeling of not being well. My rib cage is paining a lot. Please help me..

Until recently I worked out regularly, I also eat fairly well, quit smoking and drink sparingly. Any way, my first bout w/ GERD hit me a little more than a year ago w/ nausea after eating.... now keep in mind I've never been officially diagnosed, just something my GP thought might be bothering me and prescribed me ranitidine... long story short, the ranitidine worked fine (150 mg/2x a day) and I was symptom free within 24 hours.

I was diagnosed with Gerd last spring and was put on Ranitidine 150 mgs twice daily. Later found out that I had H. Pylori, had this cleared up after suffering with it most of the summer. I figured that was what caused the GERD, was later put on zantac 150 mgs, however, haven't really been taking meds. However, of late noticed that I've been coughing and find myself always clearing my throat, of which is starting to get annying.

My consultant has taken me off omeprazole and replaced it with ranitidine due to the fact that my magnesium is low, and is making my calcium low too. Has anyone else had experience of this change, and if so, how has your body reacted to it.

The GI doc has me switching off omeprazole (prilosec) in the morning and ranitidine (zantac) before bed. Switching the two helps and of course watching what I eat and drink, Right now I am uncomfortable from my dinner - the giant milk shake was a bit too much milk and sugar for me. I have no saage advice for this one.... but can definitely commiserate.

A few years ago my doctor put me on 75 mg Ranitidine to take twice a day before meals. A couple years ago he also put me on 20 mg Omeprazole to take once a day for 14 days, after which he said I could start taking the Ranitidine again if i still had the heartburn.

In order to treat Acid Reflux/GERD I have been taking Ranitidine/Zantac per doctors advice. I started developing various side effects several months ago. To verify the side effects were caused by the ranitidine I would stop for a few weeks and use TUMS instead. I repeated this cycle several times. The symptoms would go away each time I was off the ranitidine for a week or so.

I got a throat swab just to be sure and it came out negative. I just started on ranitidine. I hope it helps soon!

Over a year ago i was given ranitidine for the treatment of GERD. I took my first dose and i started to feel nausea so i went to bed, during the night i started vomiting and not like any vomit i had ever experienced before. i thought nothing of it, until my heart began to race through out the night. the next morning i thought i might be allergic to one of my medication as i was prescribed 2 medication all at once.

I have the lump in throat feeling, too. I am scheduled for my first endoscopy next month. I have had GERD for many years. I had bad experiences with the PPI's and Zantac (Ranitidine) isn't the least bit helpful. I am careful with my diet, but I still get this feeling in my throat and the pain right below the sternum. I rarely get heartburn from my foods any more, because I am watching very carefully what I eat.

I am a 28 year old female with a history of GERD and IBS. Prilosec OTC usually works for me, however it is not covered by my insurance. The only thing covered by my insurance is Ranitidine - which I take twice a day. About 2 years ago, I had to see the doctor because of dysphagia, constant post nasal drip / clearing my throat, etc. She said that I had aspirated some stomach acid and it had burned my throat.

I finally got a doctor to prescribe me the antacid ranitidine, and for the time being the pinching went away but the bloating continued. Then I started having stomach pains and I was put on the antacid pantoprazole and a stool softener for constipation. After about a month and a half I was feeling so good I stopped taking the pantoprazole after consulting with my doctor. A week later I was having bad GERD and went back on it.

He has to constantly have gum or cough drops in his mouth to stop the gagging feeling. last month Dr thought it was GERD, he has no heartburn or reflux. She gave him Ranitidine which he didnt take because the day we went to the dr it stopped. Should i give it to him now? Im so worried.

Talk to your dr about adding an H2 blocker like ranitidine (Zantac) taken at bed time. I also will take some Rolaids if I know I have broken one of the above rules or I am having breatk through. Maybe seeing a gastro-interologist would be a good idea at this point. It sounds like you should have a scope done to screen for barretts esophagus and hiatel hernia and a few other things. I hope you get some help and relief.

I am thinking it could be acid reflux/GERD which can be very painful, your doctor may be able to prescribe or OTc meds help something like Prevacid,

I'm 21 weeks and have been dealing with this for about a week, but I also have gerd along with it. I've been taking zofran(anti nausea) and ranitidine(acid reducer) to help.

I would suggest it may be due to acid reflux ...

Hi! I was diagnosed with GERD about a month ago as evidenced by an Upper GI. I have never had any symptoms of GERD, such as hearburn, etc. My doctor said there is no need to put me on medication because there are no symptoms to treat for me and prolonged use of PPI's may have consequences. She said just to take 2 Tums before bed time since the acid can erode my esophagus and rises more when you are lying down. I am nervous that it is going to do damage?

I have been to the doctors for CBCs, clotting times, have had 2 chest xrays and 1 chest CT scan - all normal per the pulmonologist. Never smoked. Suffer from Gerd but started taking omeprazole when this all started after going to the ER a couple of months ago. I also had an endoscopy done as well as a nasolaringoscopy where only irritation was found. I don't have any cough, but do feel mucus in my throat and I have to constantly be clearing my throat throughout the day.

You could also talk to your dr about layering ranitidine or adjusting the time of day that you take your Dexilant. Ranitidine is an H2 blocker similar to Pepcid only much better, while Dexilant is a proton pump inhibitor. I am on both of them, and still take Rolaids occassionally. :( You really do need to get your reflux under control as it can lead to esophageal cancer. So please do try the other life style changes and talk to your dr about other options as well. Feel better.
