I recently visited a doctor and was diagnosed with GERD to end up with a prescrip for Omeprazole 40 mg. I generally do NOT feel any reflux in my esophagus. Is this normal or it possible it is not GERD? I have experienced acid reflux up to my mouth [which is very unpleasant], but this is generally a VERY rare occurance.
My sister had some 20 mg over the counter Omep. I have been taking 2 of these at the same time, once daily. Should I be taking the 2 for 40 mb or just one?
Do you mean Omeprazole? It's used by those who have varices (cirrhosis)..Primarily for nausea.
Dosage seems high.
This medicine can cause unusual results with certain medical tests, and you may need to stop using the medicine for a short time before a test.

Hi. I am taking omeprazole for laryngopharyngeal reflux for the past 2 days. I am supposed to take two pills daily, one before breakfast and one before dinner. Today, i started having this feeling that food is stuck in my chest and back of my throat but I don't have any problems swallowing. It is an uncomfortable feeling in my chest. I did not have this symptom prior to starting the drug. Is this a side effect of the drug?

Following a valve replacement and triple bypass I was discharged from Hospital with a number of drugs and a new one being Omeprazole. I did not know why it was prescribed but after a number of months taking it I decided after discussion with my Doctor to stop taking it. A few months later through the night I got this terrible chest pain on a scale of 1-10 I guess it was 7-8.
I keep forgetting to take my omeprazole dr 20 mg 30 minutes before meals, can I take it after the meal.
I was reading through the studies found in the internet. I got scared of the others saying you should only take omeprazole if it outweighs the risks.
I have GERD and a hiatal hernia and have been taking omeprazole twice a day every day for a few months (I had been on Prevacid for several years before the omeprazole but insurance won't cover it any more). If your main symptom is burping, I would try going off of the omeprazole and switching to gas-x or some other type of gas relief medicine. As long as you aren't having a lot of problems with heartburn or acid reflux, you would probably be fine to discontinue using the omeprazole.
I had gastritis end of September last year and since then have had daily acid reflux, I wake up with a sour taste of acid and then have heartburn and pain in my esophagus in the morning which progressively gets worse through the day. My GP put me on Omeprazole 40mg a day and I have been on it for 2 months but I am still getting daily acid reflux. My GP also prescribed Metoclopramide which seems to help a little.
Last ten days with omeprazole I get some headaches and sometimes I feel white bubbles in urine like calcium. Yesterday I drink little green tea and it made my chest horrible.
Our 7 year old yellow lab Rocco was recently diagnosed in the last stage of renal failure just a couple weeks ago. I brought him to our regular vet with symptoms of loss of appetite, bad breath & nausea. The vet did a brief exam & said his exam was unremarkable & didn’t feel like a blood work was necessary. Said he looks like a healthy dog. A week later I called the vet back & said I wanted blood work done. On a Friday they performed blood work & urinalysis.
However, today, noticed that I had what appeared to be blood in toilet and and upon wiping, bright red paper. Earlier in day, noticed slight pain on my left side below rib cage and later noticed I was gasey and burping a lot. My history, had H.Py.ori received treatment for one week and finished anti biotics on the 13th of June, felt ok for a couple of weeks and noticed belching came back and was told about possibility of candida overgrowth of which I had symptoms.
UTIs are very common in kd dogs, because their immune system is compromised. The real question on that is whether the vet did a culture and sensitivity test (C&S) on the urine BEFORE starting an antibiotic. If the wrong antibiotic was given, then the UTI may not have been eradicated completely, meaning it will just flare up again. Also, at the end of the antibiotic course, another C&S is needed to check for bacterium remnants.
Again, there is an article on my website about urinary tract infections, so have a read. Infections often occur in kd dogs, nd they can cause inappetence too, so it's a worthwhile test to have undertaken.
Creatinine at 13.9 is extremely high (assuming it is measured in mg/dL units). This is fairly critical, and means your dog's body and circulating blood is riddled with toxins.
It seems to start with a tickle which causes me to cough. Its not deep down near my lungs, this is in the area of gaging. I have had every test in the book. they couldn,t find a thing. They finally put me under so that they could go into my throat and esopagus and even into my stomach and came up with a clean bill of health.
Sarah, 19 years old, was having gas in the stomach and flatulance. Doctor presribed her omeprazole 20mg which she took that night and the next morning. The next day she noticed her stool was white and eyes slight yellow - sign of jaundice! I'm not sure if it was caused by omeprazol or otherwise.
I have been desperately trying to quit Omeprazole for the last 5 years but have had so much problem with extreme acid release it seems I'll be with it for my life. Of course noone knows yet the result of taking omeprazole for a lifetime, mice had cancer after weeks but human might as well after decades. I can't replace omeprazole with ranitidine, as the latter doesn't seem to work at all. I've been able to lower the dose to about one 20mg in two days but not more.
