Avatar n tn Ear, nose, and throat specialist said to keep doing what I am doing and contact him in 2 months. I also have GERD and am currently taking Nexium since last May 2007. I also just bought an air purifier to put in the bedroom as a last hope. No one seems to be able to help. The allergy medicenes such as drixoral, etc. seem to cause a cough.
Avatar n tn I am 45 years old and have had acid reflux/GERD for several years. I have been diagnoised with a small hiatal hernia. My question is sometimes I get the following symptoms that last for days even weeks. I have a pain in the center of my chest that hurts when you touch it or push on it. It seems like it is muscular. It also hurts when I take a deep breath, again it seem like it is muscular.

Avatar f tn I have taken fosamax and actonel and have had stomach problems and aching bones. My doctor is thinking about the yearly injection of reclast. How safe is it and will I have more problems with my bones aching - I can't sleep at night a lot from the pain.

Avatar n tn I take once monthly Actonel. While I was pushing the pill through the foil blister, it broke. I did not take that pill for fear that it could cause stomach problems. My question is would it have been safe to take? Also, if I contact Proctor & Gamble, do you think they might replace the pill. If it was a daily pill, I wouldn't worry about, but I just lost a whole month of medicine due to a faulty package design.
Avatar n tn I have osteoporosis of the right hip and osteopenia of the left hip. I have peripheral neuropathy (familial), and two bad knees.
Avatar m tn Non-hormonal biphosphonates (such as Fosamax and Actonel) increase bone strength and are available as once-a-week pills. These can also be taken. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

720656 tn?1311040235 You might want to ask your pharmacist for more specific directions as far as the timing of your meds. I take Actonel once a month and my pharmacist said it was fine to take it at the same time as my levothyroxine since Actonel is also supposed to be taking first thing in the morning. Don't mix meds unless you get an all clear from a pharmacist.

Avatar m tn When I exercise I often get short of breath which can last for a day or two up to a couple weeks. Could this exercise enduced SOB happen because of Gerd? In the past I have had heart workups, etc..and the diagnosis of Gerd was finally given for the SOB.
Avatar f tn Hi...many with GERD also have IBS issues, and it is possible to have both and that anxiety play a role in both, how often u have them and how severe they will be. U should have all ur vitamin and mineral levels checked, vit D, B12, magnesium and potassium....but Vit D and magnesium work hand in hand and are much needed to aid in digestion and elimination.
Avatar n tn My cardiologist tells me that my heart arrhythmias are triggered by the fact that I have GERD and a large hiatal hernia. My G.P. now wants me to see a surgeon about a procedure to repair the hernia and wrap part of the stomach thus preventing reflux. I have heard conflicting reports about the success of this type of surgery. I am 83 and have none of the classic GERD symptoms, just the arrhythmia.
Avatar n tn I have started mega doses of supplements and calcium and D and excercise and I want someone to tell me that that has worked for them. Most comments I get is to take the drug because it's more effective. I can't believe everyone is taking bisphosphonates or other drugs like that. Please let me hear from you if you see this!,,, Thanks, and hope you are doing well!
Avatar n tn 20-69 years) with dysrhythmias plus GERD, and nine patients (five females and four males; age: 43-58 years) with GERD only, underwent simultaneous 24-h pH-metry and ECG monitoring. Power spectrum analysis of heart rate variability (PSHRV) was obtained with both its low frequency (LF, sympathetic modulation) and high frequency (HF, vagal modulation) components. Hourly mean oesophageal pH and LF/HF ratio were correlated. A 3 months full-dosage PPI therapy (esomeprazole 40 mg/day) was prescribed.
Avatar n tn I too had GERD and never had problems with NSAIDS exacerbating the GERD. HOWEVER, .my stomach itself cannot handle NSAIDS for more than two days. I get bad heartburn. Have had a lap Nissen for the GERD and am doing great, but cannot tolerate NSAIDS for long. You may have to try and just see.
Avatar n tn Ten years ago, I had GERD symptoms everyday for about a month...(no heartburn sensation, but I could feel the acid in my throat, I choked on it at night, acid reflux, and could feel acid vapor in my ears, eyes and mouth day and night). And, for the last two weeks, I've been having the same symptoms. This time around I'm worried because, two years ago, my father died of Esophageal cancer.
