Avatar f tn but is it the same for iron rich foods? Would the stomach also block iron and other nutrients you get from food since it blocks supplements as well? If so, how can I take the acid reflux meds but still get the nutrients my body needs?
1740498 tn?1328962585 Twopack, did you get the ferrosequels in a regular store? Target? I found cautions against taking iron with my GERD medicine (Protonix), so I was a little leery of supplementing. Maybe I should. I've had restless legs syndrome for about four years--self diagnosed, lol. But funny that it started with my first *maybe MS flare* event. Kelly, that's exactly what I was wondering. And as I read some of the research, the type of MRI done seems to make a difference.
786158 tn?1236397775 s I hae had my electrolytes checked(low iron level) my thyroid is good, my stress test was negative. I work on a cardiac floor as a nurse and placed my self on a monitor and had pvc's on the monitor. These pvc's are very scary and increases my anxiety like crazy!!! I know everyone keeps saying that they are not a problem but i have seen people go into v-tach/runs of v-tach ect...
Avatar f tn Anyone out there on Protonix? I was diagnosed with acid reflux and was put on Nexium which helped slightly with my burping but I was still getting stomach aches. I went for an abdominal ultrasound, endescopy and CT scan with IV contrast and all came back fine. My Dr just switched me to Protonix.
Avatar f tn The Dr gave me Nexium, but I was still getting upper stomach pain and pressure in the chest an back. I was switched to Protonix and it seemed to help with the upper stomach pain right under the breastbone. I'm taking two pills a day. Does anyone know how long Protonix takes to work? I was told that some PPI's could take 4 to six weeks to take affect.
Avatar n tn What are the effects of taking vitamins b, c d with Protonix?
Avatar f tn I was prescribed cardizam by my cardiologist and electrophysiologist, protonix by my gastroenterologist for gastrointestinal hemorrhaging due taking ibuprofen to keep the spinal cord inflammation down, and now go through iron infusions to treat iron deficiency anemia due to the GI bleeding. The iron deficiency has to be treated before I can have the ACDF surgery.
Avatar f tn t have medicaid and yesterday my health insurance company said I must use generic of Prilosec first and if it does not work I guess my doc can request the Protonix. I really feel a difference not having the Protonix. Glad you can receive it. Thanks.
Avatar m tn I called it a poisoning because she was IVed with Protonix twice even though her drs knew she was allergic.Allergic reactions to Protonix are many and are 99 times out of 100 diagnosed as something else.Unfortunately a certain number of patients will experience severe reactions to Protonix such as pancreatitis.That is why Altana,the German company who developed Protonix made Wyeth set aside monies to cover such reactions before they sold the patent to Wyeth.
Avatar f tn Then when I went to my doctor Thursday, she switched me to Protonix. If they are basically the same, could Protonix work for me if Prilosec OTC didn't? I'd really like to know because I've had this problem for almost 3 months now and I'm tired of eating plain food.
Avatar f tn I went to see family doc and he did blood test to rule out pancreatitis (result came back normal), and put me on Protonix 40mg, once a day. I took for couple of weeks, and felt ok, so stopped, but pain would come back, so went back on it couple of days later. The bottle had 30pills, and one refill. After I took for 30days, I was off of it couple of days but again, the pain was coming back, so I went to get refill, and started taking daily.

2064754 tn?1333375663 DOES ANYBODY OUT THERE HAVE CERVICAL SPONDYLOSIS, AND ALSO ARE TAKING PROTONIX.
Avatar m tn gave me Protonix because I was experiencing some acid reflux...I took Protonix for 2 weeks (1 per day at 40mg) .. I have been having very bad side effects... Naseous, dizzy, increased anxiety, palpitations, gagging, insomnia, rapid heart beat. I thought I was dying. I called my Dr and he blew me off saying he never heard of such side effects and that I am getting anxious maybe I should see a therapist. I have no history of bad anxiety and racing heart like this..
Avatar f tn Went to hospital a month ago for bleeding ulcers of the esophagus, and was given bags full of Protonix, IV for a week. Was sent home taking 40mg 2 X a day. Had microalbumin well over 400 when I had labs done for checkup. So Dr. ordered a kidney ultrasound and a nodule was found in my right kidney. I've seen several law suits about Protonix causing kidney failure!
Avatar m tn I have posted in the pain management forum, but not in this one yet. I've been having bad neck and shoulder and shoulder blade pain on the right side for a few months. I have been taking Protonix since May, 40mgs once every evening. Because I'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.
879179 tn?1287503465 there's a prenatal vitamin called vitafusion prenatal and they have helped me so much, they are gummies and they taste good! i was puking up my regular prenatals even after my morning sickness had gone completely away and these helped me alot, they don't have iron in them (i'm guessing because its probably hard to make iron into a gummy or something like that) so i talked to me ob and he told me its ok to take a regular iron supplement along with my prenatals.
Avatar m tn my dr prescribed Protonix to me and I wondering how often does someone have dizziness from it and how long does it usually last? I haven't taken it yet due to that. Also I tried omeprazole otc and it gave me headaches. Does that mean I'm more likely to have side effects from Protonix?
219522 tn?1251760629 Ok you wonderful people who "know things"--I am a year on Synthroid of various dosage, currently on 88 mcg for the past 9 months. I have had B12 tested, iron levels tested, endoscopy, colonoscopy, echo cardiagram, abdominal barium catscan, pelvic ultrasound, bone density, mammogram, and bloodwork too numerous to list. Everything is basically A-ok. I have non-erosive acid reflux on top of my hypo/hashi's for which I take Protonix. My iron levels were a bit low.
Avatar m tn ve been having severe stomach pain and now my GI doctor thinks it is from the Protonix, which it probably is. His solution is to take me off of the protonix completely. He told me to go cold turkey off of it, but I am having such bad heartburn that I think I'm going to taper it. Shouldn't it be tapered anyways since going off of that much PPI would cause your stomach to over produce acid? Anyone have any ideas?
Avatar n tn Since I have been taking Protonix for GERD, my heart seems to be pounding in my throat. This has never happened to me before and is alarming. My blood pressure has always been low. Is this normal? Is there anything else I can take beside Protonix?
Avatar m tn I have been taking Protonix for a little longer than 1 month; 2 40mg tablets a day. Before this I never had a case of anxiety/panic attacks. After taking the Protonix for 2-3 weeks I have been having severe anxiety, to the point where if I feel any abnormality in my body, I think I have some kind of disease. I have been off the PPIs for about 3 days and have not noticed a huge difference. So has anyone had an increase in anxiety after taking a PPI?
