zantac
I have this burning pain under my left shoulder blade in the back and wrapping around to under my ribcage on my front right. So it's a pain, under my ribs that goes through to the back. It's worst in the back, though. It's different from my "regular" pain. It's more of a burning and deep aching.
Hello everyone,
I've been experiencing muscle twitching all over my body for the past 2-3 years. They feel like bubbles or things crawling under my skin and they happen more frequently when I have lots of gas. Sometimes the twitching stays in one place and doesn't stop for hours. At first I though it was a side effect I was getting from Zantac, but I've been off Zantac for months and I still get muscle spasms! What kind of doctor should I see for this problem?
Eventually I had a consult with an Otolaryncologist who did an Esophagoscopy, dialation to the muscle and injected 20ml botillium into the Chrico muscle. I had 2 months of almost NO symptoms and discomfort! but unfortunately it only lasts 2-3 months and then the effect of the botillium wears off and I am getting my next injection in a month's time.
The Botillium injections does work!
m bending over, this sometimes will cause it to start. The pain occurs in the mid back area and feels like a muscle cramping with the pain at times being rather severe. If I stop what I'm doing and rest, it will subside in a few minutes. After that, I tend to belch often that that also relieves the discomfort.
My family doctor has done an EKG as a precaution which came back 100% normal. Some of the symtoms almost resemble a mild heart attack from what I've read.
I am a 29 yr old female, 5'11", 230lbs. I take Zantac 150 for heartburn. I was recently informed I have scoliosis. I frequently wake up in the middle of the night. I have fairly regular small muscle spasms all over my body. Otherwise, I'm pretty normal, no other health issues.
For the past 2 weeks I have been having this deep feeling soreness beneath my left pectoral muscle. It's not a muscle ache as the pain doesn't go away when I flex that muscle.
It used to be only when I laid down and then the pain would only last like 5-10 min. However these days the pain occurs longer and it even occurs when I'm sitting. I also play the saxophone. I've played it for 5 years and I have never had breathing problems...however these days I've been having trouble breathing and I've sometimes been having chest pain that stays for a while. Sometimes when I eat, I sometimes feel like I want to just throw it back up.
My eyes will frequently get red in the inside of the lids. There is no discharge, just sleep in the eyes occasionally. They are somewhat dry, have always been dry actually. No itching. This is re-occurring. I had noticed maybe a year ago that it would happen, then get a little better, then get a little worse. Then, it didn't happen again for quite a while(4 or 5 months?) and now recently, it hit again with inside of eyelids very red, and I started to have some pain too.
My Internal Medicine doctor advised the ulcer is being aggravated by the acid which is causing nausea and pain, the Zantac was not strong enough. She prescribed Protonix 40mg twice a day, I have been on that and feel great; no fatigue, no nausea, no pain! Will be on this regimen for 30 days and then slowly cut back dosage to maintenance level of 40mg once a day every other day.
I got severe muscle cramps as side effects from that and went back to the urgent care and they gave me zantac instead. Still the same dosis of 2 /day. It all started end of June 2015. The dr eho prescribed zantac also mentioned it could come from the gallbladder but there would be no test to confirm that now (super weird reading all about it now). In September 2015 I had an egd done and the dr confirmed the gastritis. I had no ulcers and no bacterial infection.
The most likely cause is costochondritis, which causes pain and tenderness at points where your ribs attach to your breastbone. The inflammation around the joint area gives sharp pain on taking a breath. This can also cause tenderness on pressing the area which pains. An orthopedic doctor can diagnose this for you. Generally there is no cause. However it can be due to infection, blow, injury, or fibromyalgia. It usually goes away on its own.
I also had headaches (not anymore) intense anxiety for moments and muscle pain (on back and and abdomen) because I am very tense all the time. Yesterday was the worse of all. Horrible. The nausea was absolutely horrible, and I was so anxious that I felt like I was going to get crazy. And I am afraid that this is just starting.
I took 10 mg of Paxil cause I couldn`t stand it anymore. My questions are:
*Did I stop taking the Paxil very fast?
I was reading and read that early in your pregnancy you have a high or progesterone and that relaxes the smooth muscle in your body. Your intestines are smooth muscle so you can really be bloated and mistake it for a baby bump. That's what happened to me and I am so glad because I was afraid I'd be huge with this baby since I've heard your first pregnancy is usually your smallest.
6 mo ago he had some internal trauma to the GI track (still have yet to be determined what happend), but he was put in zantac and flagyl for generic infections to the GI track. He was passing digested blood in some good quantity. Nevertheless - since then he has appeared to have twitching/muscle spasms that are concentrated to his chest region, front legs and can be seen in his back legs as well.
