Avatar n tn I was taking Omeprazole for acid reflux. I was recently going on eight weeks of taking it. I too WAS suffering from dry mouth and tongue and a severe burning sensation in my throat that was getting worse. I feared the worst, waking up with severe dry mouth, panic attacks as to what was happening. I couldnt even make a drop of saliva. I stopped taking the omeprazole last night. For the first time in weeks i slept like a baby.
Avatar n tn Any suggestions. I woke up one day and felt like their was a constant lump in my throat as well as a weird feeling like the back of my tongue is dry or burning(hard to explain). my doctor said it was nasal drip, gave my Flonase but this made my tongue feel more "dry". I went to an ENT and he said it's lpr and gave me omeprazole twice a day.
Avatar f tn I have seen a nurse practitioner that reccomended allergy meds and omeprazole. This did not help in the least. Two ENTs both also reccomended omeprazole and nasal spray, still didn't work. They each put a camera down my throat and see some sign of acid reflux but it sounds like both of them were not convinced that's what is causing this feeling to this degree. I have been referred to GI specialist.
974371 tn?1424653129 Problem is, I now am always hacking up some mucus. I have chronic dry mouth and throat (neg for Sjorgens) and most of these meds make it worse, I start hacking more then see blood in my sputum. I am now being referred to a pulmonary doctor. This Xifaxan is supposed to be tolerated well but I think it dried me out worse when I tried it and ended up at ER. He says this is the best one and try it again. I just took the first pill again a little while ago and am nervous.
Avatar m tn Later that evening my mouth and throat was very dry. I drank 3 glasses of water but it did nothing. Felt terrible was very close to going up to the hospital. I went to my bed, my dry mouth and throat went away over night. Woke in morning feeling very tired and rough. Can all this be just indegestion? I'm not due to go back to doctor till Friday. Should i go back sooner?
974371 tn?1424653129 00 am sweating and stomach getting upset and bloating and nausea. Took Xanax, Levsin and Gas X, no better. Something isn't right. I am sick! Wonder if I should get a second opinion. This is about daily now.
Avatar m tn He checked my mouth and doesnt seems concern about the cyst, and he said it will go away. Now I dont know what causing my sinus blockage and postnasal drip all year long. He gave me a whole bunch of sore throat pain reliever lozenges to chew for 4 times a day. I'll see him this friday for allergy skin prick test and I think I'll ask him for an ENT referral bc my insurance required referral before I can go to specialist for a consultation.
Avatar m tn s followed immediately with more saliva than I know what to do with. I end up spitting it out, and in the midst of all this turmoil, I usually dry heave once or twice. Once the dry heaving stops, I'm completely back to normal. The attacks last all of 60 seconds - 3 minutes. There is no nausea or stomach pain that accompanies the attacks. What in god's green earth is wrong with me? I can't find an individual with similar symptoms on these forums.
974371 tn?1424653129 Took Omeprazole then Pepto Bismol twice and my Xanax, 1/2 pill. Now, my mouth is extremely dry. The doctor had given me Carafate and I finally broke down and used some. After almost 2 hours, not much improvement, mouth drier and now getting a headache. Ideas?
974371 tn?1424653129 Again, as the day progressed, my dry mouth, uncomfortable tongue and that gluey feeling was getting worse and worse. Add to that I now seem to be having problems with thick mucus I cannot blow out my nose or expectorate and am back to on going hacking and clearing my throat. Add to that feeling of flushing and generally feeling unwell. Latest ENT doc ordered yet another sinus CT scan and gave me aLydocaine rinse and am supposed to swallow it!
974371 tn?1424653129 Had another question. Researching IBS, I really don't see that many complaints of nausea, seems to be more stool issues, bloating and discomfort. I really don't have a diarrhea or constipation problem but do have the cramping, bloating and bad lower abdominal discomfort on bad days and add to that worse dry mouth and throat.
Avatar f tn 8 week after sex tested with 4 generation test and result negative. Can GERD cause difficult breathing, dry mouth, dry throat, wheezing, dizzy? I have not taken medicine after 10 day antibiotics prescription but doctor prescribed me Anti-Acid medicine but I have not taken it for Almost two months...
974371 tn?1424653129 I have been having chronic dry mouth and throat and globus issues for over 4 years. When this first started I was pretty sick, lost 40 lbs and have gained weight back but generally feel unwell every day. Numerous specialists and tests and no answers. Now having problems with thick phlegm and they don't know why either. I have done some research on the Internet and Flu vaccine but don't see anything like this.
Avatar f tn I have the same problem which I, too, thought might be caused by Omeprazole. I did find, like CalGal, a link between Omeprazole and a cough, and it was also causing itchy skin down my spine area. Changing my PPI to Lansoprazole recently has not made the slightest difference, and I continue to cough all day and all night, a dry, irritating cough. I also have gastritis, oesophagitis, a Hiatus hernia, none of which had been symptomatic other than nausea, and a lack of desire to eat.
Avatar f tn Well, it is now after 11:00 pm and I am no better. I finally tried to eat some soup and crackers. Mtook another Omeprazole before. Still bloated, nauseated and "extremely" dry mouth and throat. Biotene products, drinking water, sucking sugarless lemon lozenges, nothing helps. Was laying down watching TV and again broke out in a sweat. Tried taking a Tums, no help. The GI doc gave me a prescription for generic Levsin. I have never taken this before. Side effects scare me.
Avatar m tn I suspected a dry mouth or throat and I started using Oasis Mouthwash to moisten my throat and use the Oasis spray down my throat before bed, ....which does seem to help. Could this be from a dry throat or the reflux, apnea, or all????? Note: One side of my nose is blocked and will open if I change sides (deviated septum / have tried nasal strips and saline before bed). In short, I mostly get my rest okay, ......but I am tired of not having the freedom to sleep "anytime" I want.
3093770 tn?1389739126 First, I had a dry nose and mouth throughout the entire 48 weeks and also for a month and a half after finishing Tx. At times my mouth was so dry I could not swallow, especially at night. My nose was also dry and crusty inside. Disgusting. Hope you are not eating, LOL. I measured my water and, in order to get the 1 gallon a day (4 liters), I was constantly drinking, day and night. Even without the measuring, I would have been drinking because my mouth was parched and I could not swallow.
Avatar m tn * Dry eyes (including irritation, gritty feeling or painful burning) - not everyone with SS has this symptom * Dry mouth (or difficulty eating dry foods) * Swelling and tenderness of the glands around the face and neck.
Avatar f tn Then I go to the toilet pass motion/stool/feces and after lay on bed and relax and after it takes time and gets normal on its own.Nothing serious has ever happened.I have also talked to my cousin and sister about it but they say that its normal sometimes they get it but they do not worry aa its natural it will not do any harm.What do you people say? Why do I start thinking that it would do something to me? can it be dangerous or do any harm?
496495 tn?1224609863 I have had a constant dry cough for many years and even a touch of asthma but very minor. I waited a week and the symptoms did not go completely away and I had a panic attack and went to ER. They did chest x-ray and CT of my throat and blood work and all was normal. I still have drainage and some noisy breath sounds if I inhale really hard or exhale really hard. Could this be a tumor in my throat causing the breath sounds? Even though the ct was negitive.
Avatar n tn Prescription omeprazole comes as a delayed-release capsule, and packets of delayed-release (long-acting) granules for suspension (to be mixed with liquid) to take by mouth. Nonprescription (over-the-counter) omeprazole comes as a delayed-release capsule or tablet to take by mouth. The delayed-release capsules and the granules should be taken at least 1 hour before a meal. They are usually taken once a day before a meal but may be taken twice a day when used with other medications to eliminate H.
Avatar m tn I have been everywhere on the web and here and nothing seems to fit, until i did some research and saw that dry mouth is sympotmatic of diabetes. Can anyone shed some light? Its more of an inconvenience than anything else. I can still swallow, doesnt affect taste, throat isnt sore, sleeping is not a problem. I should also mention this doesnt happen everytime and its also varies in dryness. I am going to be changing from a GP to Internest within the next couple of months.
