I have been using ppi for the last 20 years and my family doctor just keep giving me prescription. I am I going to give up this medicine? I cannot stand even a day without it :(
I keep trying to find something else that works. Ginger, Apple cider vinegar, etc. I have problems swallowing. The closest I have come to omeprazole is taking antacids 4 times a day.
Excellent information - thank you! I was hesitant to take this prescribed for my ulcer from NSAIDs, but now that I'm on a blood thinner it might be better to take it to avoid a GI bleed.
Yes pantoprazole is very Dangerous for me Gi prescribed me for 8 week now i complete 6 week but now my throat tightness,,, dizziness,,, my stomach burning,,, nausue.... 😢😢😢😢😢
I was taking omeprazole 20mg for 3 years, then started 40mg, ive been on it for 4 years. I have muscle cramps and achey feelings but my blood work says im good?
I was prescribed Omeprozole because I suddenly woke with heavy thudding beats in my upper stomache. I thought it was my heart beating, but a test by the Ambulance crew of my Pace Maker, showed my heart was beating Normally. So what was actually beating so hard ? A dose of ant-Acid fluid , ' 'Peptac'' worked immediately, although I still had the occasional thumping come back, but is fading away, and I'm eating less, and never after 6,00pm. PS your speech is too fast for me, so thanks for the screen dialect
I know this video is 3 years old and hopefully you'll see this comment - if not OK - do you have any thoughts about mastic gum or capsules for GI ulcer treatment (gastric or duodenal)? Thank you.
The problem with chronic Gerd is you’ll need to take a PPI daily that’s not recommended by the pharmaceutical. If not treated the esophageal damage can become cancer because the cells will mutate because they can’t heal . I’ll stay on the PPI
@@Randy58-zn4ez me too and the trade off is not have damage due to acid burn but why do the pharmaceuticals say to take it only for 2 weeks ? I some time will substitute Zantac in between days
@@ArsalanAspires thank you for responding. I hope you can answer one more question. My GERD symptoms are severe mostly at night. Can I take Prilosec before dinner or will taking it in the morning before breakfast as instructed will still help with night time symptoms?
I always recommend taking it as directed unless your doctor has told you otherwise. In the meantime, see how many lifestyle factors you can change to reduce night time symptoms such as: head bed elevation, avoiding meals 2-3 H before bedtime, reduce coffee, chocolate, spices, acidic foods, and fatty foods. I hope this helps!
Dr the ENT prescribed me that bc I feel like there was something in my throat and Im always trying to clear it. That was pretty much the only symptom. He said to take Omaprazole 40 mg for a mnth, its been like 10 days and my throt has improved although not completely but now Im getting bad headaches that last all evening until I go to sleep. Will the effect be good if I stop at two weeks and not 4?
0 seconds ago I was just prescribed this medicine by a gastroenterologist. She wants me to take 20 mgs. for the rest of my life due to finding my biopsy indicated Barratt's Esophagus (non-dysplasia). I don't have any serious 'gerd' problems but came up positive for an at home color-guard test and have another colonoscopy/endoscopy scheduled for 5/21/24. I don't think I want to take Omeprazole for the rest of my life. What are the risks if I don't take it?
My dads on it says he’s hot and cold and feels awful like hot In the head? Don’t know if it’s because of this or other tablets he’s on!! He feels awful two months now lost weight etc
It’s a shame doctors are so quick to prescribe this for Acid reflux there are many natural treatments and life style changes to turn the condition around without the long term side effects for most is to stop eating after 5 pm and also to cut down on carbohydrates and sugar. Many patients are actually not creating enough acid and is also lack of protein in the diet acid cider vinegar, or one large organic apple in the evening, can turn things around the common mistake, is people think cider and apples are creating more acid when nothing could be further than the truth. This reflux condition needs to be understood. I suggest looking up natural remedies for acid reflux and you will be surprise that the results of them are the opposite of what the doctors are telling us.
How can we come of this drug
Great video and info! What are some allergies symptoms. I think I might be allergic to Omeprazole

Is there any known connection for omeprazole and its side effects after experiencing Fluoroquinolone Toxicity?
Yes pantoprazole is very Dangerous for me Gi prescribed me for 8 week now i complete 6 week but now my throat tightness,,, dizziness,,, my stomach burning,,, nausue.... 😢😢😢😢😢

medicine?
Are all reflux tablets cause the same problem

BS. Stop eating a diet full of carbohydrate. Eat mostly quality meat, and presto, your issues will go
I have been on prescription PPIs for twenty years and so far no problems. I have a Hiatal Hernia and that is the reason I am on them.
How many do you take a day ?
@@Randy58-zn4ez me too and the trade off is not have damage due to acid burn but why do the pharmaceuticals say to take it only for 2 weeks ? I some time will substitute Zantac in between days
@@MrSjivkova 40 mg one a day - but at times take Zantac if things are ok to substitute
Does it help for gas or bloating
Great explanation doc. Thank you
Thank you! Subscribe to stay updated with new weekly videos!
i took 40mg for 2 days and got major calf pain.
If you only take Prilosec for 2 weeks will you still experience a rebound acid effect?
Thank you for this important question. 😃The risk of rebound acid hyper secretion is low within that time frame.
@@ArsalanAspires thank you for responding. I hope you can answer one more question. My GERD symptoms are severe mostly at night. Can I take Prilosec before dinner or will taking it in the morning before breakfast as instructed will still help with night time symptoms?
