I started taking OMEPRAZOLE on April 1 and stop taking it on April 9 due to my heart started feeling like it was in my throat. I'm of balance, high pulse rate, dizziness, and rapid spells of burping. Before taking this medication I was having some stomach problems and was prescribed this medication to clear them up but once I started taking it, I started feeling even worse. I ended up in the ER and had multiply doctors appointment within a week of taking this medication. I had a EKG and everything was normal but I feel like crap.

Hi everyone, I have been taking omeprazole for eight years. The past year my amount was increast to 40mg from 20mg. My very first side effect was itching all over but most of all around the rectum. i have had pains in my chest.Had camera put down behind my heart had all clear. I have high pulse rate been admitted to hospital when it reached 150 a min.Still suffer from this. Tinging in hands, whole left leg tingles when I touch my leg to moisturize it has a pins and needle effect. Had brain scan for blurred vision. Have diarrhea most days.Get dehydrated because of this I am for ever drinking. My muscle cramps are so bad I cannot do baking any more. Cramps in my legs and feet.I have bad fatigue.I am not interested in sex.My whole life has changed completely over a gradule process. I thought it was down to my age 61.My e.s.r.blood rate is raised I have had every test available I have taken steroids to lower it.It worked at first but then graduly went back up even being on steroids made no difference.
I had no idea this was down to this drug.
From reading this site today I am going to cut down first to 20mg a day. Change my diet and drink plenty of water ,If this makes a different on my state of health I will be back to tell you

Do any of you take Lisinopril by itself without a diuretic like HCTZ (hydrocortothiazide)? I got dehydrated 2 days ago & doctor has cut my HCTZ in half-- I felt light-headed, dizzy, pounding heartbeat like I was having a panic attack. I've been on this lisinopril/hctz combo for 3 months. I don't have any of the adverse allergic reactions (rash, itchiness, swelling) at all; nor do I have the cough thing at all. But weakness, chest-pounding heart, dizziness, fatigue all coming now daily. I wonder if our problem is the HCTZ, so is anybody on lisinopril WITHOUT HCTZ?

Been on Lisinopril for about a month, have lowered the 10mgs to 2.5mgs on my own. I now have the cough and congestion. I also wake up in the middle of the night with a very high pulse rate and stay awake for about 2 hours. Very lethargic.

Hello, my name is E. I have been taking Yasmin for 4 years now. Every month the week before my period for exactly 3-5 days I would feel crazy. Like my moods would change fast and extremely emotional. That was fun. Well, now I am having problems with my heart for the last month and a half. I have an irregular heartbeat, high pulse rate, and high blood pressure. I have been to the cardiologist and have been wearing a heart monitor 24 hours a day until I can get my Stress/Echo test done. My mother was the one to tell me to call my OBGYN and ask about my birth control and if this could be contributing to the problem. I called the nurse today and researched the side effects and problems women have been facing with this drug and was shocked. Could it be what did this to my heart? The nurse called me back and told me to stop taking the Yasmin/Ocella. Until I find out the reason for my heart problems I will not be using any birth control options, except condoms. Then, I will find out the appropriate method to be used for me. After I find out the results of my heart problems, I will repost to let all of the women know what came of all this. Until then, take care. E. (32 years old)
