Acid reflex symptoms and conditions

I am so relieved to have found this site... i have been miserable for almost 2 weeks, i broke out with hives last week and never found the cause but with that and some breathing problems they put me on prednisone. I have been miserable since, i couldn't eat drink sleep or do anything else at all pretty much and i have had diarrhea, and a ton of other symptoms... i feel bloated acid reflex muscle aches headaches dizziness chest pain & pressure very weak feeling mood swings and depression the jitters and heart racing and from what i read and researched this is all from the steroid prednisone.... thankfully the doctor ended my dosage sooner than it was prescribed and last night i took my last pill... i now am just wondering when or how long will it be till i feel myself again and can have a good nights rest?? I will never use this medicine again!! I am just soo relieved to have found some answers on here.

I believe that the biggest key to success with loestrin 24 is to wait it out! you have to give it at the very least 3 months to get in your system and really regulate and for your body to adjust!! i say this only because i have been on it going on 9 months and i love it! the first 6 weeks were horrible! headaches, spotting, back aches, chest pains, swollen feet, acid reflex, my face broke out, dry skin, i even found more hair in the shower than normal for about the first 3 weeks, but you name it, and its a proven side effect, i had it! i have a fever for about 11 days of between 101-103!!! but my obygn just kept telling me this was the pill for me and i though the had lost his ****** mind!! but i did stick it out! all the side effects started to disappear around the beginning of the 3rd month. and so did all the spotting and my period completely!! wow! im 21 and no mood swings, no average side effects of a periods, nothing.. nadda!! its amazing! this is the only bcp i have been on! and i wouldn't change it for anything! but let me remind you, im not on the pill to prevent me from getting pregnant, i have endometriosis!! this is extremely common in white females!! my obgyn said i developed it between the age of 11-14 ( i started my periods when i was 10! and it went totally undetected for 11years! now, my mom always thought i was just a totally baby! but the pain and the blood clots i would pass when i was that young was so scary. but i never went to a obgyn til i was 20 and i had insurance, lived on my own and could afford to go. so now im so happy on the pill! there were times when i was younger that i would give anything to be punched in the lower back cause the pain was so bad! i couldn't stand, i would be walking and just fall to my knees cause the cramps would just take over. this happened at school a lot, but the day it happened at work i knew i had to do something! so they did a few months of blood test, 6 peps smears in about 2 months.. and a few other test and determined it had to be endometriosis!!! if you ever feel like your insides are tearing appart.. you need to ask your obgyn about testing you for endometriosis!!! *google it!!** anyways, back to the bcp, after the fifth month i was happy again, no pain, no more side effects, no moody-ness or random out breaks of tears!!! its amazing. i dating this one guy! and not having a cycle is sooooo wonderful. he loves that i don't have a cycle!! which means no "time of the month" crap to deal with!!! lol!!! i cant tell you how much i love being on this pill. OHHH i almost forget! you can now get your script with or with out insurance for just 24$ a month!!! no matter what! just to buy the pills like like 80 a month, with full coverage insurance ( which i have ) its still 60 a month. well i found this website and i called, answered a few questions and now i get it for just 24 a month!!! ask your obgyn for the info!!! amazing!!

Hi - I was on advair for a couple of weeks after a horrible bout of asthmatic bronchitis. I now have this constant pressure under my rib cage that will not go away. I was wondering if any one else has experienced this while on or after stopping advair. Thanks and happy holidays!

Ive had the mirena for 4 months.My doctor thought it would help with my painful,heavy periods,well I been bleeding since and it just getting worse.I want to know if anyone has had stomach issues,like acid reflex,heartburn,gas,or just pain in your stomach.cuz im thinking I have a ulcer or is it this device????Lisa

i had the first shot in December 2006 and the next day i woke up with a headache, fever but not a high one, nausea, vomiting and cough body aches. we called the doctor to ask if it was related to gardasil, and she said it wasn't the vaccine but it was that i was getting sick already. but since that time I've been having nausea and vomiting and i've been missing a lot of school because of the vomiting. I've been seen by a doctor who specializes in the stomach and he thought i had acid reflex. and i got 3 different medication and it didn't help. i also had a ultra sound and endoscope biopsy. and the doctor said theirs nothing wrong. I still continue with nausea everyday and sometimes it gets worse and i start vomiting.

I was put on a 5-day dose of Levaquin, and am on my 4th day. After the first dose, I started to get severe itching and pain in my vaginal area. I know it's a yeast infection because I had it once before. I have also had really bad insomnia for the past two days. Called my doc; she told me to continue the medicine and perscribed Diflucan and monistat 3-day. She also said to take Benadryl for itching, but I am feeling really tired already, and I think the Benadryl would just make it worse. I am very tempted to stop taking this med right now, but not sure if it's ok to do that. Has anyone else gotten a yeast infection from this? Thanks, and I hope everyone starts to feel better soon.

I started taking advair in September of 2006 after being diagnosed with allergy related asthma. I took it for 3 months. Then stopped for a few months over the winter and restarted in spring because of more serious symptoms of asthma. I have had severe stomach upset, acid reflex, rashes, and weight gain. I also feel dizzy a lot. I am very health consious and work out all of the time. I never gain weight so it seems obvious to me advair is the culprit. I am going to try getting allergy shots and see if I can stay off the advair. In home air filters do seem to help with the asthma

acid reflex is worse

Been on Ambien for 3 years w/approval of dr for restless legs. I'm now weaning myself from it b/c of memory loss during the day, moodiness, acid reflex, injury to myself from falling out of chairs or bumping into things, eating in the middle of the night (weight gain of 20 lbs in last year) and surfing the internet to find that I have ordered or bought things I don't remember! Of course, most of those problems were b/c I would not go right to bed after taking it... but after a year, it would take longer to kick in, so I felt I could accomplish a few things, and then when it hit, go to bed. Ha! This drug is very addicting & can get you into some real trouble. Don't even get started on it. If you can't sleep try other alternatives.

I am so glad to have found this sight. I thought I was seriously ill. I have been on Advair for about 8 months. Since January I have been quite fatigued. I was never able to nap in the afternoon but now if I'm not at work I have to have at least an hour nap. I have chest pain that travels down my left arm. I was sent for stress test and echocardiogram and everything came back normal. The doctor has just prescribed Aciphex for acid reflex thinking that could be the problem. I have a metalic taste in my mouth. I have leg cramps from the knees down and muscle pain in the back and shoulders. I feel like I constantly have the flu. I get night sweats and last night terrible stomach cramps(the first night I stopped Advair). I have gained weight that settled around my waist. I have weighed the same for the past 10 years. I have headaches and blurred vision and trouble concentratring. I have a constant postnasal drip and am always coughing. I stopped Advair yesterday and am not quite as tired. I am interested in knowing if and when the symptoms go away. I just pray that this does no permanent damage.

Thank you for starting this website. I thought I was loosing my mind. I have been tracking my side effects for months thinking I had RA, Lupus and/or a thyroid problem. I spent most of Tuesday in the ER due to a migraine that I'd had for a week and a half. Now, normal CTScan, MRI, MRA, and blood tests later, maybe I have found an aswer. Pills are in the trash and my husband has placed an order with theyfit.com. I am 33 and had taken Yasim for the past year after taking tricyclen for 2 years.

My symptoms include:
sever blaoting
weight gain (20 lbs)
tight muscles
joint pain
never ending headaches - now a true migraine
stomach upset
acid reflex
constipation
blurred vision with spots in my line of sight
swelling
tinitus (ringing in my ears)
extreme exhaustion
sever mood swings - particularly PMS related
craving sugar\anxiety and depression

I found a web page regarding homoral deficiencies and my symptoms match up with their checklist. Whatever the synthetic hormone in this stuff is makes us sick! Hopefully, by stopping the pill and letting my body be "normal" for awhile, I will feel "normal" again - 33 not 80!

About two years ago my entire body fell apart. I was told that my thyroid was not working, a couple of months later I was told that I also had acid reflex. I have been taking Levoxyl (.075mg) going on two years now.
My joints hurt so (hips, knees, shoulders,elbows, and knuckles) sometimes I feel slightly nauseau.
In the past few months the pain has worsened. I mentioned this to my doctor and he gave me some sample pain pills used to treat arthritice. I also mentioned tightness in my chest and pains under or next to my rib cage. The good old doctor sent me for an ultrsound and everything was normal, next he sent me to a doctor that ran a scope down my throat and everything was normal as could be having acid reflex. I am so tired of the run around, my body feels like I am beyond my years. I just want to be able to sleep a full night once again.
My husband said that he heard that virgin coconut oil is not good for your health. Who do you believe?

Well, I have not been to a doctor in 15 years, but my acid reflex got so bad that I put a doctor on my insurance plan and went to see him. He put me on Omeprazole and scheduled me for an upper GI series. After taking Omeprazole for 2 days, the acid is there but instead of a 10 on a 1-10 its a 1 now. No side affects to report yet. I will keep you posted.
