Omeprazole Dry Heaves, High Blood Pressure, Pepcid, Chest Pains, Anyone Noticed That
I have been taking some form of acid inhibitors for about 15 years. I started out with Pepcid when it was still a prescription. From that time on, I have developed anxiety, impotence, chest pains (with multiple trips to the ER and several calls to the local ambulance) with nothing wrong, fatigue, dry mouth, gas and bloating.

I have been taking some form of acid inhibitors for about 15 years. I started out with Pepcid when it was still a prescription. From that time on, I have developed anxiety, impotence, chest pains (with multiple trips to the ER and several calls to the local ambulance) with nothing wrong, fatigue, dry mouth, gas and bloating. Now I am suffering from nausea and dry heaves and constipation. What a wonderful medication this is.
About 4 years ago my doctor gave me a week's supply of Aciphex samples. It was two days after finishing the samples that I developed high blood pressure. There is no family history of hbp in the family, so I am associating it with the medication. Of course, the doctor says it's not the meds.
Has anyone noticed that when you are given a prescription for any of the new meds for a specific illness, you wind up on other pills to combat the side effects? Just wondering.
