oxycontin

Avatar f tn ) Emergency Food When it comes to food, the dry mouth of Sjögren’s syndrome is not the only thing that many of us have to worry about. GERD, celiac disease, allergies and lactose intolerance, to name a few, can compound the problems of finding something you can eat when away from home. Here are some of my ideas about preparing for a day out, a trip or a quick errand. When I travel I always carry some “emergency food.” For example, I always carry instant oatmeal in its own container.
Avatar n tn i think my body is used to the oxycontin and when i have a flareup, only ibuprophen seems to help, not more oxycontin or oxyfast. I used to use oxyfast when i had a flareup but i don't get them like that anymore. ergo, either i am in fact over the worst of the fibromyalgia and can get by with ibuprofen or i am on the right maintenance dose and will simply have to live with the oxycontin daily as i have been for 8 years. no way to know until i go for it.
Avatar f tn My mom had a similar sensation, but she wasn't in wd's. She had a bunch of tests and it turned out to be acid. She was told to take Prilosec and it was the only thing that helped. Dr said she wasn't elevating her head enough at night and the acid was bothering her throat and causing that feeling during the day. Might not be the same thing, but it couldn't hurt to try.
567946 tn?1219760872 Has anyone else come across or heard of anyone having not just a cough with GERD, but a perpetual, life-destroying one with that condition?? I've had the diagnosis of GERD for 4 years+ now, and accept that my chronic dry cough is coming from my stomach/reflux, but struggle to understand why it's so horrendous. I start around 7 am where it will wake me up and if I don't get it controlled (with gripe water) I invariably start retching and usually bring up mostly gas and lots of it.
Avatar m tn The hospital staff said I neede to stop all blood thinnig drugs (aspirin, fish oil, advil, etc) but did not say anything about pain mends (Oxycontin 4mg 2x day and Norco for the breakthrough pain (10 - 50 mg per day depending) Can I take the pain meds right up to the surgery?
5312547 tn?1367094865 t as strong and also has acetominophen in it so make sure not to take Tylenol in any other form. Oxycodone and OxyContin are essentially the same drug and have no Tylenol in them. OxyContin is a time relealse and is usually taken twice a day. Usuallymanother med is given for breakthrough pain. All of these drugs will case physical dependence and in some people can lead to addiction.

Avatar f tn m right and these headaches are being caused by the analgesics the only solution I see here is to somehow wean totally off the oxycontin. The bone and muscle pain is unbearable and I cannot walk without the oxycontin but the headaches incapacitate me too. I don't want to simply exist. I want to participate in life.
Avatar m tn Hi and welcome to the GERD forum. May I ask r u on meds for ur MS?....if so, look at the side effects, some meds can bring on a flare of GERD...and cause HA's.
Avatar f tn They put me on lots of pain meds including morphine, percocet and oxycontin. I am home and have to go to PT twice weekly which is quite painful. I went to my surgeon on 11/2 and he said to wean off of oxycontin and oxycodone. He didn't explain how to go about that. My husband cut the oxycontin in half and I took that once at night and once in the morning for 3 days. When I thought about the next steps to get off the oxycodone, I thought to call the pharmacy for advice.
Avatar f tn Is Anxiety causing GERD , or GERD is causing anxiety,becos most people with anxiety are having an acid problem
Avatar f tn i have gerd and gallbladder symptoms and my edoscopic and all gall bladder test came back normal. what do you think can be the problem of this pain and discomfort?
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 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.

356518 tn?1322263642 I have to be honest with you I have not taken pure oxycontin, however I have taken percocet 7.5/350 and have not had to return to my dr. Now maybe it is different for pure oxycontin. Now my dr is putting my on Kadian and I don't really feel that I will have problems getting it. Now that is my dr.
Avatar m tn Had another attack the next day and went to a differant ER and was diagnosed with Gerd low potassium and anxiety. Hoping it passes soon as i am miserable. Sometimes my head hurts so bad that i feel like I am about to pass out. I keep wondering if they missed something.
439522 tn?1214951189 Hey, all. I'm coming off oxycontin and hydro. Done with Oxy a week ago...just tapering down to hydro at 4 - 5mg per day, then 3 per day the next week, 2 the next week, 1 the next week and then done. I'm also using .1mg clonidine, which has REALLY helped...I tried cold turkey before (twice) and never made it this far. However, the Dr. prescribed me 50mg tramadol to use (like 10 refills of 60 pills). He said it is pretty strong, but less than codeine and not a narcotic.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with gerd about a week ago. I've been experiencing Nausea while eating and burping lately, with diarrhea and change in bowel movements and color of stool..has anyone been having these same symptoms?
