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.

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. If maybe I could get a diet for this type of thing so i knew what kinds of foods that would be best for his stomach and or a better diagnosis. Could this be IBS? We will be following up with a G.
Without Nexium my ulcerated esophagus would never have healed. In fact, I was taking 2 40 mg doses per day and Nexium is not ordinary omniprazole it is a derivitized/substitutes omniprazole and it does function differently.
Nexium does spend a lot of money advertizing it as an "alternative." Then they back it up by giving you a card on their site and regardless of insurance coverage, if you use the card, no matter how much the doctor prescribes you, your cost is $18.

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?
hello , i have plm with burp , it hard to get burp . i take nexium wont work , what i do ?
I am a 36 yr old female who is taking nexium for GERD and or gastritis. Every so often I experience this burning sensation around my stomach and upper area back which may last for several days. My bowels have changed in size, the color is usually normal, but I do not see any blood nor mucus, and when I did have a bowel movement there is pressure near the rectum area. I have gotten a colonoscopy which was negative.
Hello, I have lived for several yaers now with GERD, I use Nexium 40mg 2 or 3 times a week, it helps me a lot but I often have a pain in beetween my shoulders after meals epecially fried meals. Could this be the same heartburn I feel in my chest after a meal? It always comes from 1 to 2 hours after a meal. it seams to me that Nexium don`t have any affect on this symptom.
This all started after a weekend of drinking beer for 3 days straight, I noticed a day after when i was eating a piece of chicken it felt like it was sticking or stuck in my estapagous. I already had a endoscopy done allss they seen was mild gastritis and alil inflamation and prescibed me some acid blockers.. After i went to my medical doctor to get her opinion and she says i coulf have irritated my estapahagas lining and that can take 6-8 weeks to heal to a clen lining..
Hi. I have had a long standing problem with a feeling that I have a limp in my throat - chocking sensation, like when you are holding back crying. I have always assumed it was anxiety/stress and have been prescribed xanax for when it is really bad. I also have had a hiatal hernia for many years and take nexium. Is the hernia and acid relux possibly a cause for this 'lump in the throat' feeling? What can be done besides taking an addictive med like xanax? Thanks for any advice!
With this the docs decided to put me on Nexium which helped in the beginning but then the feeling came back, now I am on Ranitidine twice a day with taking Mylanta (for gas).
I am worried and have been called a hypochondriac. I have had anxiety attacks for the past 10 years. It just started all of a sudden and over the years have progressed to hypochondria which brings on the anxiety. Could what I am going through be part of anxiety?
ooo I know a girl (rachel) that might have the same problems you're having..
upper abdominal pain/upper back pain..nausea..
probably an ulcer, caused by h.ploryi. It's confirmed usually by a test or there's a not so accurate breath test. Usually treated with triple therapy antibiotics. Even though you're taking nexium, h. ploryi still can live and prosper in a stomach..so you probably need that blood test asap. Your primary doctor can order the test for you.
My sister takes Nexium for acid reflux. Now she has started have pain in her knees. I talked her into stopping nexium for a while and the knee pain subsided. However, she said that she had to have the acid reflux medicine. Could the nexium have caused fluid in her knees? And if so what is an alternative?

Uniform Medical is not going to cover any PPI's in 2012. They stated that this is because they have a policy that any drug that has an equivilent OTC will not be covered. Can you believe it!
I need to some good references and examples of medical appeal letters. I had a Nissin back in 2004 for hiatal hernia and have taken 2 40mg Nexium a day since. I have a slight scarred esophagus and only occasional breakthrough at night.
Nexium would help GERD, ulcers, and inflammation of the stomach.
If it hasn't been done already, you can consider an upper endoscopy which can give a more conclusive answer.
Other tests to consider would be a 24-hr pH study or an abdominal ultrasound to evaluate for GERD and the liver/gallbladder respectively.
I would also obtain blood tests to exclude the bacteria H Pylori, which is associated with ulcers and inflammation.
and have no reflux for about 6 mos. I would like to stop Nexium forever. I realize I may have to take something in place of it. I take 40mg daily of nexium daily. I was having acid attacks even with the Nexium, alway at night when sleeping. I have the wedge, extra pillows etc. Garvistan, Tums next to my bed. I once asked Dr. when could I stop Nexium he said I would need to lose weight. I have low iron, low B levels. Thinning hair etc. I already have spinal stenosis.
I have to use heat packs to help with the severe pain I get and I pass blood in my stool. I had none of this until I was put on Nexium for 4 years!!
And my tongue is discolored and dry I do believe nexium caused all my medical problems. Since I stopped the nexium my tongue does look a little better. Still dry and rough looking and discolored but looks better then it did. I called the FDA and they are sending me out a form called med allert to fill out.
I've lived in NJ most of my life, I was born in Colorado and lafter high school joined the Navy and ended up getting married and stayed in Seattle for about 8 years.
My nasal congestion began a year or two ago, I don't recall having anything other than occasional congestion before that.
I lived in the Red Bank area near the shore for about 8 years, the rest of the time in north central, Flemington area.
