Common Questions and Answers about Prilosec with alcohol
prilosec
I wanted to get your opinion on something. I was in the ER with my fiance the other night because he has had these bad chest pains for a couple of weeks. It finally got to the point where he couldn't take it anymore and it was starting to worry me because it was in his chest so I didn't want it to be his heart. I will try to break it down for you...
I drink every other day (vodka) have been for the last 6 months. I've always had heartburn and am constantly eating tums or taking Prilosec. This past week I've been vomiting everyday after drinking and have been vomiting acid. Last night was the worst. I woke up st 4am violently vomiting acid my throat and nose still hurts today. I did vomit what looked like blood, it also burned very basket when it came up.. also went through my nose. I took zofran an anti nausea pill to calm it down.
I feel lousy!! It started with bad heartburn, now I have a pain in the top of my stomach, real pain in the center of my chest. and everytime I burp I get s slight burning in my throat. I'm having a hard time swallowing my food, it seems to get caught as it's going down, I can only eat 2 bites or so and I have to drink something to get it down, I have heart palpatations,and spasms on the left side of my stomach.
Doctor: Several months ago, I began belching very loudly and for at least two or three seconds during and after some of my meals. For approximately 8 weeks now, I have also been experiencing a pain/tenderness/raw sensation on the right side of my throat exclusively. In addition, I have started experiencing a dry cough and I recently developed one or two canker sores at the back of my throat which have healed but I continue to have pain in my throat (painful swallowing and an itchy/scratchiness).
pylori and now developed GERD and Acid Reflux because of the long term use of prilosec.. I cannot stop taking the prilosec because the acid and chest pain come back times a million, and i cant eat really anything anymore.. I did not have any problems with acid or chest pains or not being able to eat until i started taking the prilosec.. I really think that if i wasnt having any symptoms then why give someone some for symptoms there not having, just to make them worse in the end..
I have been taken Prilosec, 20 mg( and like medication),once a day for 15 years. Different brands of Prilosec-like medication has always tamed my once-ulcer. I take one Prilosec a day just to make sure I have no acid build-up. I do not drink daily, but I have not noticed any problem with my stomach if I drink. Check-it-out!
Hi I am a 27 year old male, with some chronic problems. For about one year i have had a spot in my back to the middle from my left shoulder blade that feels like a ball or something is there. not painful so much as it is nagging. The pain does go to other parts of my back, and seems to really hinder my breathing at times. feels like someone is bear hugging me. it gets worse after I eat a big meal, drink alcohol, or the rare occurrence that i smoke a cigar (less than 10 per year).
My doctor suggested I take a few more days of Prilosec and avoid alcohol for a while. In the past week I have also switch to a modified Paleo diet and have gotten back into going to the gym, so I'm not sure if that's affecting my stomach as well. Is it possible that I have ulcers from the NSAID's or h pylori? How can I solve this problem, so I can feel better again?!?
I have burning in my esophagus, pain under my sternum, sore gums, very sensitive teeth, neck and chest are always bright red and hot. My hair is thinning and my skin is sensitive. I also have pain in my abdomen, usually on the left side. I've had CT scans, ultrasounds, MRIs, upper endoscopy, stress test and have found nothing. I've been on 40 mg of Prilosec for three months and it made me feel a little better but not great.
I was shopping in the grocery store when I started feeling stomach pains in my upper middle stomach. I felt light-headed also & hot. I quickly got done/headed home. Now I am having stomach pains that come like waves & middle of chest also (spasms). Last time this happened, I ended up in ER with pain meds & it was the gerd as I had not been taking the prilosec every day to save on pills.
Well this time, I haven't been skimping, so am concerned.
I have had this feeling of a golf ball in my throat for years now and it feels like I am constantly swallowing mucus. The ENT doctor said I had reflux and percribed me Prilosec 20mg twice a day. I didn't feel like It was helping so I stopped it. Saturday night I was drinking beer and all of a sudden I couldn't drink anymore. My throat felt like someone was holding a match up to it. Keep in mind this is all at the base of my esophogus not my upper throat.
I was givin an ultrasound and a upper GI barium swallow and all test came back negative and I was told I was fine. Then they told me that I must have acid reflux, but when I take Nexium or Prilosec nothing helps. Is there anyone that can recommend something? Or have anything to suggest to my doctor? It is very unbearable and has caused me to become very depressed. Also occasionally I feel a sharp pain in my stomach when I breath in.
Is it okay to take Prilosec? They said Zantac was okay, but not to take Prevacid. I bought Prilosec and want your opinions on it.
Especially, if I would eat anything spicy a couple of hours or so before bedtime I would supplement my prilosec with a zantac. In any event, the acid reflux has been with me for several years. A couple of months ago, I went in for a routine check up, and had my bloodtest, which showed a slightly elevated ALP of 85.
She then switched the blood pressure medicine and prescribed Prilosec. The first week that I took Prilosec I had a horrible episode where my stomach ached so badly that I almost went to the ER. I vommitted and could barely stand up. I went back to see her and she switched my heartburn med to Nexium. This has helped a little. I still have heartburn almost every day. When I wake up in the morning I usually cannot eat anything because I feel nauseated. I have to force myself to eat by 9/10am.
i often feel full or bloated like my stomach is swollen and puffy. whenever i drink alcohol even a drink or 2 i get violently ill and puke the whole next day. i know alcohol is bad for you and can make you sick but it never used to affect me in that way. what could be the problem???
I have been having some GI issues for almost 2 months now and was first diagnosed with Gastritis. For the Gastritis I was given 15 days worth of Prilosec. While on the Prilosec (and before) I had diarrhea and loose stools every day. Being as I was having that before, I never attributed it to the Prilosec but now I'm questioning whether or not the Prilosec contributed to the loose bowel movements as I am now back on Prilosec and am having loose stools once again.
It subsides quickly with rest. I am 3 years post RNY (gastric bypass). I also have cirrhosis (non-alcohol type), with an enlarged spleen and portal hypertension. I'd like to know what some of the possible causes could be. Or am I just needing to exercise more? I'm a 50 year old white female, still needing to lose 30 more pounds. Thank you for your time.
