Common Questions and Answers about Prilosec and heart palpitations

prilosec

1551963 tn?1302292732 I have taken prilosec on and off for 17 years. I have never had high blood pressure withit. Palpitations is a side effect of zantac and I have that problem when I'm taken zantac. I've never had any problems with the prilosce though. My prilosec has been doubled to 40 mg also. So??? Can't help with that question. Everyone reacts differently to different meds. I've taken prilosec and zantac for years. Acid reflux got really bad and switdhed to prevacid.
Avatar m tn i am 32 years old just had my birthday and was out drinking a couple days before that my chest had a weird sensation,,then after a couple hard night of partying I haave anxiety, constant heart palpitations, Ive been listening to it and feeling my heart but it doesnt sound like its skipping beats but im really aware of it, dizzy and kinda short of breath..I also have gerd and have been on prilosec for 4 years.. should i be concerned or is this an anxiety disorder or side effect of prilosec??
Avatar f tn All that being said, I never put the two together until I did a search for heart palpitations and started finding several sites where people on Prilosec were complaining of the same symptoms. Has anyone here ever experienced these types of symptoms on Prilosec or any other PPI's? I just read all of this today so I plan on stopping Prilosec tomorrow but I hear it could take up to 72 hours for it to work out of the system.
Avatar f tn I am so glad I found this site- just nervous about driving- although it happens infrequently I worry for my kids and others driving- I am starting on Prilosec again and have a Dr. appt tomorrow. But I agree - so close to the heart it is scarey and can easily trigger a panic attack- also no fun!
Avatar m tn Are you sure that you have the increased heart rate when you wake and move, or could it be that you are awakened when the heart rate starts upward, then you waken and start moving and have the increased heart rate? If that is a possibilty ( heart rate up, then you are alerted) then I would consider the possibility of sleep apnea and seek out a Sleep Certified doctor for a sleep test. Best wishes. Joan.
Avatar n tn Gerd causes my heart to beat fast. (It affects my breathing and causes my food to get stuck when it gets really bad.) My cardiologist told me (after many heart tests turned out normal and I was finally diagnosed with gerd) that you have nodes in your esophagus and when your esophagus gets inflamed it can trigger your heart to beat faster. Have you stayed on the Prilosec for a while? The first time I took it it took about 2 months for all my symptoms to go away.
Avatar n tn I was instructed to take Protonix in the morning and Priolsec in the evening. I stopped the Protonix yesterday and will not take the Prilosec tonight. I have silent GERD, with no burning sensations in my throat to warn me of the acid coming up my throat. However, I do get a feeling of "fullnes" in my throat that must be the GERD. Since the sensation of fullness never really went away in my throat anyway, I doubt the medications were working.
Avatar m tn t see it. I am also taking prilosec and gaviscon for stomach problems and I seem to have my heart palpitations under control with my stomach getting better. ( i believe they were gerd related) Perhaps the prilosec is causing my heartrate to go up. perhaps it is causing me to work through my synthroid faster? What do you all think?
Avatar n tn I think that your heart is well and, even though you experience some palpitations here and there, your problem in not cardiac in origin. Many patients feel palpitations, some are infrequent to the point where they get used to therm, others gets worse during certain situations or periods of life such as increased stress, menopause etc. Majority of the time the work ups are negative for any organic heart disease. Now you do have some gastritis, most likely related to your obesity.
Avatar n tn Went to ER, EKG was normal and was sent home. My doctor ordered a 24hr heart holter and blood tests to check electrolytes/thyroid. All came back normal other than showing PVCs and premature atrial contractions. Doctor wants to follow up this coming week with echo and stress test to make sure there are no other issues to address. Started having what I believe to be panic attacks: strong heart palpitations, increased blood pressure, nausea, dizziness, urgent need to have a bowel movement.
Avatar f tn About that time I also decided to eat healthier and began replacing chips and cookies with apples. About a week after this I began getting heart skips after eating. Stopped the apples asap, continued prilosec, went to cardiologist where everything checked out fine. Now six weeks later I still can't eat without palpitations! A couple of tums will quiet it down, but I'm freaking! An MRI last year (done for something else) said may be a small hiatal hernia present.
1166791 tn?1263094350 It got so bad that I was mainly eating soup and mashed potatoes. One day my heart rate went up to 140 bpm and I ended up spending the night in ICU at my local hospital. I was put on cardizem and the dr. said it's probably your nerves and wanted to give me xanax to help the "food getting stuck" problem. I took the cardizem for 6 months. (But not the xanax) (Even though all my heart tests were fine. I had no heart trouble at all. Finally.......
Avatar m tn I did want to say that I was very wrong about amour thyroid. My heart palpitations seem to be related to GERD. I have a hiatal hernia and have just recently been putting everything together. Unfortunately they are back because I recently had a failed root canal pulled and took some ibuprofen on an empty stomach. My stomach has not yet recovered. I had stopped using the Prilosec and my stomach esophagus is in a state of spasm. Seems my vegus nerve is being affected.
516040 tn?1213837018 I am on 20mg prilosec and .25mg xanax could those have any effect on my pounding heart? And when my mind is not on my heart its not pounding.
516040 tn?1213837018 And as of this past week I have been experiencing heart palpitations every morning. The heart beats never go over 100/min but, it's scary when your heart wakes you up pounding and it is like that throughout the whole intire day. I was wondering what could be making my heart race and pound so hard? The arrhytmia, anxiety, or GERD? And being that I have had this costochondritis since march what else can I ask my doc to check for for the immflamation?
Avatar m tn Most commonly premature ventricular contractions (PVC) and premature atrial contractions (PAC) both of which are perfectly normal and benign and a structurally normal heart. Everyone gets these palpitations are one point or another or on a regular basis. They are just your heart contracting prematurely either originating in the atrium or ventricle. So what you are feeling is one "extra" beat fallowed by a slightly longer pause, and than another stronger beat.
Avatar m tn There seems to be conflicting information out there regarding how metoprolol (and selective beta blockers) effect potassium levels in the blood... I know that non-selective BB can raise levels, but not sure how selective BB effect potassium levels. The reason I ask is that I like to have a high-potassium diet to control my palpitations, but wonder if I need to be careful how much I intake...
Avatar n tn Hello, I am curious that if my symptoms are "prilosec" related, how soon should they subside after stopping the medication? I have been on the medication for about 4 months and my symptoms have been diarreah the whole time taking the meds and pvc's (palpitations) for the last two months. I've already had a full cardio workup too. Thank you so much. I can't seem to find anywhere on the internet on when my symptoms should subside after stopping prilosec.
Avatar n tn I too suffer from pvcs and heart burn/indigestion. My GP, cardiologist and EP all believe that reflux is a trigger. I have tried many acid meds and the one that works best for me is Omeperozole.
Avatar m tn I have never had a racing heart in the middle of the night for hypo. Hypo for me is always tired, weight gain sleeplessness. I tried to raise my levels but I immediately suffered from more insomnia. I am not going to put myself through more insomnia because I believe that these symptoms are related to my thyroid. I have to have more information than that to work with. I have to say I'm tired of self medicating and self doctoring.
Avatar f tn m 28 years old and pregnant 24 weeks along I also posted a similar question in the heart disease forum and I have recently been to my doctor and emergency room with complaints of chest tightness all the way up to my throat, shortness of breath, heart palpitations (fluttering) constant burping (bloating in my upper stomach) and the feeling that something is in the throat. I have also been feeling very weak and I should also add that I also suffer from anxiety and panic attacks as well.
Avatar f tn //reference.medscape.com/drug-interactionchecker In looking elsewhere, I did see the following under possible side effects. "Side effects of Prilosec (Omeprazole) have been reported to include. Rarely: Cardiovascular: Chest pain or angina, tachycardia, bradycardia, palpitations, elevated blood pressure, peripheral edema.
Avatar f tn I've had occassional PVC's for 20 plus years. I also have Mitral Valve Prolaps. About 2 months ago I started taking Prilosec for reflux. I then began to have a huge increase in the number of PVC's. Sometimes lasting all day. I've been on an event monitor for the past 2 weeks. I didn't even think that to relate this increase in PVC's to the Prilosec until about a week ago.
1364061 tn?1282586898 I also have heart palpitations at time. I have been told they are hereditary (My mom and her dad do and did this) But also I can tell if my acid reflux is really bad, I will have those palpitations. I have taken meds for the acid reflux for the entire 17 years. I have recently had another bad attack of acid reflux where my food was getting stuck after gaining some weight through the holidays.
Avatar n tn BP and some other medications cause the valve that separates the esophagus form the stomach to relax and this allows vapors and or stomach acid to creep up into the esophagus and causes indigestion and Gerd or Acid Reflux. If that is the case Prilosec may help.
