Common Questions and Answers about Nexium and migraines
nexium
Consultant who thought it was excessive acid and prescribed Nexium 40mg a day. These have made very little difference. I have had an endoscope down my throat which has found a lax cardia and gastritis of the lower stomach. The consultant has discharged me and I have no results back from the biopsies done. I am having problems sleeping as the back of my head aches and gives me an ongoing migraine which lasts most of the day.
I had an endoscopy and a biopsy and was tested for stomach cancer and h pylori both for negative. I have a breath test scheduled but it's not for over a month. They found gastritis in my endoscopy. This could be what's causing my stomach issues. My stomach is also very very swollen and I'm a skinny person so it's very noticeable. I am so helpless. I have tried acid meds like nexium, Prilosec, dexilant and none helped.
ve had stomach compulsions and chest pains which was thought to be Acid-Reflux and my doctor prescribed me to Nexium, it did not help and I stopped taking it in 2005.
I'm a HEAVY drinker and have taken sleeping pills/ pain revilers while drinking.
Recently, the stomach compulsions have been getting worse,and so have the chest pains which I think is Acid-Reflux.
yeah. My scope was just done last week...and I went from one small ulcer to 6 ulcers in about 7 months time...I was also on prilosec then switched to nexium and the ulcers still got worse. I still can't eat much and am loosing weight. I am just tired and want to know whats going on with me. Do you think I fit the profile for zollinger ellison syndrome? My gastrin levels were elevated a little above 1000....but I was on nexium at the time.
Hi,
Im hoping to talk to a doctor about nexium. Im here on behalf of my girlfriend who recently started to take nexium for her stomach pains. She has been very hot at random times and has been nauseas at night. Her period was suppose to start yesterday but it has not yet and we are not sure as to why it has not. She had one episode of cramps this morning but it was very short and ended soon after.
that you were on anyway right? if he or she knew you were on nexium and xanax and still prescribed it to you then it should be okay i guess. also the same for your doc. that prescribed you the nexium. sometimes you can find on certain websites like drugs.com or something how certain meds react with others.
Hello, I'm new to this site. I was recently diagnosed with GERD, and prescribed to nexium. Today is the 2 week mark of taking nexium. The only symptom I seem to get is really bad belching and it feels like there is a lump in my throat, those were the same symptoms I had when I was diagnosed. I had the same symptom for about a month before i went in. Maybe once or twice did I get heartburn or get an acidic taste in my mouth.
Hi, I just switched from Prevacid to Nexium and within two days started to have dark stools. Have had an endoscopy, CT scan of my abdomen and also a ultra sound on my stomach. Nothing has turned up to be a problem but still the dark stools. I would appreciate someone commenting if they've experienced the same with Nexium, "the little purple pill". Thanks.
I have been seeing a neurologist because of migraines, and after he found out I had AIH, he decided he would do and MRI because it can affect the blood vessels of the brain. After you find a neurologist, insist that your GI doctor work along with the Neurologist to come up with the best plan for you. Most physicians want what is best for you and want you to return to health in a way that is not going to compromise other areas of your life.
I was really worried about my biopsy as well.
old and since last summer I have been waking up in the morning with joint pain. My elbow joints, hip, and knee joints are all painful. And I have this tired weak feeling so it takes me awhile to get out of bed. The meds I am taking are : Nexium 40mg. twice a day, Amlodipine Bensylate 5mg. once a day, Trilipix 135mg. once a day and Ibuprofen 600mg. when needed. Pravastatin Sodium 40mg. once a day and Alprazolam 1mg. twice a day.
Massive amounts of heartburn, bad indigestion, throwing up at times ( no blood ) and also always has gas 90 percent of the day. He followed up with his doctor on this and I do not think they did the right thing by giving him Nexium. Since he has been on the nexium he has gained 20-30lbs and is now feeling bloated and worse than before. I just do not know what to do about this anymore. I do not know what it could be caused from.

I think the confusion about all of the PPIs, including nexium, is that most docs prescribe PPIs without a lot of testing and without that testing it's possible that if someone feels better taking the nexium and stays on it longterm without any testing being done, it could end up masking a more serious problem - like stomach cancer.
Hello, I am 16 turning 17 in May. I started taking Nexium in 2013 in August. I have a severe case of Acid Reflux. My esophagus is mildly burned. I have no ulcers. Ever since I was 5 I had acid reflux disease for years we couldn't figure it out neither could my mom she just thought I had bad morning stomach aches until she became an EMT paramedic in 2010, ever since she figured it out we've been looking for medicine to help.
I have been having really bad heartburn and a burning feeling in my stomach. I was told to take Nexium but I have a severe allergy to penicillin. My question is, can I take nexium if I'm allergic to penicillin?
After being put through just about every test I can name by the GI specialist and coming up empty handed, my general practitioner tested a theory and changed my nexium from once daily to twice daily. The pain completely stopped. I may have had an ulcer in the part of my intestine that isn't visualized either in the endoscopy or the colonoscopy ... whatever it was, I now take medicine 3x a day to keep the acid levels down and the problem is completely fixed.
She was on acid blockers for 25 years (tagament for 20 years, nexium for 5 years and also took gaviscon for 10 years). I took my mother off nexium and gaviscon cold turkey and started digestive enzyme supplements and betaine HCI with pepsin supplements in their place. She never got worse only better. She no longer suffers GERD, LPR and is 95% improved with gastritis. If you don't want to go cold turkey you could try taking digestive enzyme supplements and wean off nexium more slowly.
