protonix and antacids

Hello I already suffered with GERD. Was recently diagnosed with h phylori and treated. Now my stomach is inflamed and burning real bad. Protonix and antacids isn't helping. The burning wakes me up in the morning. What can I take to eliminate this burning.

And it was only once then. It just happened so suddenly, I was breathing find and then I lie down and immediately begin experiencing problems. I also have terriible posture and spend 5+ hours a day using the computer, sitting not up straight in a chair, not sure if that has anything to do with it either.

Since his heart attack and stent, his heartburn/reflux has become much more frequent and severe. His doctor prescribed Protonix 40 mg once a day, but he still has to take antacids throughout the day to try to control it. Has anyone else experienced this and how did you resolve it?

I have no history of bad anxiety and racing heart like this.. So I decided to stop taking the Protonix...the last time i took it was thursday and i still feel like im in hell.... You would think I am detoxing from some other hard core drug and I havent taken anything else.. I am still so naseous, gagging, stomach pains, heart palps..and I am def not pregnant or anything like that so I cant find any other cause for all of this.. Is there anything i can do to get this medicine out of my system.

ve had a sore throat for around 8 months so far, I have been to three ENT doctors, and a gastroenterologist and have made no progress to find relief. Currently I am taking two 40 mg tablets of protonix, three times a day. I've had an endoscopy, which only confirmed that I don't have barret's. I've also had an upper GI series performed that indicated a sliding hiatal hernia but was not found during the endoscopy. A gastrin blood test shows that I do not produce much acid.

I have been having a chest pain, almost a burning and aching with deep breaths. I saw my general doc today and he said my chest x-ray was normal, my heart and lungs both sounded fine too. My GI wants to put me on a medicine similar to prilosec, so I'm wondering if indigestion is a "real" side effect? Thanks!

Nothing works, have tried omeprazole, famotidine, reglan, antacids, ranitidine, and others. My lower throat feels like it cramps and I can't breathe, then the blood and oxygen rushing to deal with that makes my heart start pounding. I am wondering: is there anything I can suggest to my doctors to look at next, or another drug I can try since the only thing that gives me relief is sublingual nitroglycerin and I go through 100 of those a month ? Thanks for ANY suggestions, I am desperate.

sounds like heart burn and some acid reflux you can go get antacids the walmart brand works AMAZING i use them still they even work for my husband lol he was like no that is yours i dont want to take it till he had reall bad heart burn i gave him 2 and it was gone lol

I take Protonix to control my gerd. An allergist recommended this and it does seem to make a difference. Does anyone else take these types of meds to control their gerd and, ultimately, help with asthma? I cannot get Protonix any longer through my health insurance and was wondering if someone took something else as effective. Prilosec and Nexium do not have as good as effect as Protonix for me. Thanks.

m on Vancomycin Hydrochloride 250 mg 4 times for 10 days to clear up the havoc the clindamycin did on my digestive system. I also was just prescribed Protonix 40 mg once a day and I also take Zoloft 50 mg once a day and Ativan .5 mg as needed. I was prescribed both the Zoloft and Ativan when my cardiac came back clear but I was still having symptoms. This all started 2 months ago with the jaw, chest pressure and left arm pain.

ll find lots of info about it. Be aware that like most antiemetics and antacids, not all meds work on all dogs, so once you have found something that works its worth sticking with it. Zofran tends to be reasonably priced, so it may be worth giving it a try from that point of view.

Also I've been taking it since early second trimester and im now due in less than two weeks and still take it when I need it

I had my gallbladder removed and take antacids all the time, I would also like to know about this.

ve noticed chest pressure since then sometimes with jaw pain, sometimes without and burning at times under my sternum. It is almost like indigestion but not relieved by antacids or prescription medi ations (protonix). It comes with and without exertion. The Dr feels another angiogram is needed in the event of a recoil. What is that and is it common?

I also checked out the side effects to two medications I was taking and both Clariton and Protonix had irregular heartbeats as one of their side effects so I stopped both. Its a week later and I still have skips and double skips which I use to ignore but have been bothersome lately. Have also been taking a few antacids to help with not taking the Protonix which seems to help some.

I have also noticed other symptoms working on me over the past 6months including - finding myself very tired to the point where i engage in day time sleep [this is not something i have ever done], very tight head aches up the left hand side of my head [near the back of my left ear - these can last for days], poor vision and burning feeling to my eyes, very painful neck, minor chest pain, lack of appetite [due to burning sensation in my throat] and tasteless sensation in my mouth.

Glad you shared your story!! Yeah, I read on Greg's website that some people are taking the Daclatasvir because of absorption issues with Ledipasvir, meaning if you're on antacids you may want to take Daclatasvir I gotta find out more information cause I'm on antacids, which I don't have to take every single day but I'm gonna have to do something about it. I've already tested how often I need my Protonix and it's like once every 3 days.

Do you ever take antacids besides these 2 occasions when you got diarrhea? Because antacids can cause diarrhea and if you are having loose stools and you are asleep, it can leak.

baking soda will actually take the enamale off, just like whittening kits, this will make your teeth whiter but cause more damage i know what you are going through, i was not honest with my doc but i kept going to him for stomach pain and nausea, well he took a look at my teeth and said, you have an eating disorder i was shocked, because i just wasnt ready to admitt that to people i started a couple of meds, i take protonix once a day, this is for the acid, if you do not have insurance it will c

Hi from what I understand protonix is an rx while prilosec is over the counter meds...... so I do believe that the protonix is stronger.I am not a dr, just going on what I do know, I know both r PPI and work much the same way.....Ur dr should be able to say y he changed ur meds...everyone is different and react to the meds differently....maybe bcuz the prilosec dtopped working instead of changing meds he should check to see y u r making so much acid. I have noticed mine cycles....

m not getting relief with chiropractic care or anything else for that matter, I started thinking about medication and side effects. The protonix s the only thing that could possibly be the culprit. I went off of it two days ago, took omaprazole instead, and have had a 50% reduction in the pain. Has anyone else experienced this. I am reluctant to mention it to the doctor because I'm afraid he will dismiss it. I want to be sure before I talk to him.

I have been to the hospital twice with two ekgs done normal and a lot of blood work normal I have bad shoulder pains leg pains arms ache and neck hurts when I drink or eat anything my chest hurts and my back hurts can stress and gets cause this I get headaches daily and the pain in shoulders and arms daily

Hi Selma, I thank God that I had an abdominal ulrasound and cat scan with and without IV contrast and all was clear. I was so afraid that I had pancreatic cancer. My Dr told me that the CT scan was the best test for the pancreas. I just get nervous because I still get a discomfort way up high under my breastboneand occasionaly in my back but my Dr said this could be acid reflux. My endescopy also showed that I have gastritis which I know is painful as well.
