Avatar f tn 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 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 f tn Can anyone tell me how long it takes for the crtisone drip to start working and easing pain? Also what can one do to get rid of the terrible bloating in the stomach? I look like a big fat pig ready for roasting and is very uncomfortable.
Avatar n tn 3 days later it closed with a clot and balloon angioplasty was performed on branch and lcx. Pressure intensified after that even though on heparin drip and nitro drip and enzymes went up. 2 Taxus 2 stents placed after that to lcx across the branch closing the branch off. The heparin drip was stopped right before the new stents went in which I thought was weird because weren’t more clots a worry but I came home and have had pressure ever since.
Avatar f tn I didnt know were to ask about the iv drip ,my 3 yr old son was in hospital for rotavirus and was conected to an iv drip than i noticed that the bag of the water of the drip wasnt full im so woried that they may not have used a new one.

Avatar f tn I'm not dehydrated right now but i see it coming as the only thing i can drink is serria mist and i try to drink it often but can't
Avatar f tn One thing I wanted to ask you, are you suffering from post nasal drip and thinking it is allergies. If you have post nasal drip or a lot of drainage from your sinuses, it can be caused by acid reflux as well. I had my gall bladder removed because it died and I had excessive acid reflux causing severe post nasal drip and problems with my voice box like you. The ant acid medications I took helped with the reflux in the short term but caused all kinds of other problems down the road.
5492463 tn?1368752646 I started contracting on my own at about 2 am got out on the drip at 3 and it really started almost immediately about 15-20 minutes.
Avatar m tn ve been given an IV drip of Benedryl and Decadron for 1/2 hour before the chemo drug is started. I also get a saline IV drip during the chemo procedure. Luckily I haven't had any problems, but that had to have been a very scary situaion for you. I hope things go more smoothly from now on, you're going through enough stress dealing with the cancer, good luck with your treatments......
Avatar f tn I was sent to a GI and scoped, stating esophagitis and small hiatal hernia. I was placed on Protonix once a day. I felt better, so went off, only to have a year of on and off again chest pain/breathing issues and on/off PPI medication. During this year, I have also had a full cardiac workup and full pulmonary function test, both of which were perfect. A few months ago I was sent back to the GI and he wanted another scope. This time he said GERD and to stay on medication.
Avatar f tn She was on Propofol IV drip (sedation) 24/7 while intubated. Her vitals remained stable, with her oxygen stats at 98-100%, a normal BP, and Heart Rate. She was un-intubated on the 4th day in ICU. She woke-up and was 100% responsive to sound and stimuli. She was having conversations, and sitting up in a wheel chair. She was also eating full meals. This lasted for 2 days. After 2 days, her heart rate and BP started to rise, and she became very agitated, and was having a hard time breating.
Avatar f tn I'm wondering if anyone has opted for the pain meds in the iv instead of epidural?
Avatar f tn I think now they keep a port in your spine and they can give you more doses through an IV like thing in your back but I've never had one so I'm not sure. I do know that it usually takes some time to get the anesthesiologist to the room in most cases so I'd say if it starts wearing off around 6/7cm and you're worried then get them in there if they need to even if you're barely in pain if you don't want to feel it at all then I'd say better safe than sorry.
Avatar f tn they dont make you take a med for that lol it goes into a drip bag in an iv that you already have to have so you would never know the difference anyway but thats good :)
Avatar m tn I was given ceftriaxone as an IV drip and sent on my way. Rectal itching got a little better for a few days but has now returned along with slight urethral pain occasionally (although nowhere as bad as the burning sensation previously). It’s been 5 days since my IV drip. Could the one week between antibiotics have given the bacteria a chance to survive? Should I wait longer before going back to the clinic.
Avatar f tn Nurse came to us first, and started the new drip in between she had to go to the patient i described. She changed his drip as well without gloves. Then she came to us and started giving injection through butterfly syringe. She also changed the bottle and inserted a new needle for air into that. My concern is that what if there was some blood stain on her hand and with the same hand she did the entire above process.
