Thanks for the reply. I have been having fewer episodes over the last few days, which is a good thing. I had a stress test and everything came back normal. The atenolol (25 mgs) didn't sit very well...
hi - I have been having constant pvc's for over a month. I have gone to the ER twice and had EKG's, blood work, and wore a monitor. All test results were healthy heart, everthing is normal. I am now...
After reading a few different posts, I think there is a lot to be said for side effects from PPI's that we aren't expecting. I have been taking 20 mg. of Prilosec once a day (started with 20 mg....
To Hay - I am curious to know if you are female and over 40? If male, I'm really not sure what the heart palps could be, but if a woman and over at least 40, could be related to menopause (trust me,...
It is amazing how menopause can cause other symptoms to appear or escalate. I may have gone without a period for almost three years, but that doesn't mean it's over! I also have the palpitations,...
I was reading some information re: Irritable Bowel Syndrome and GERD and wanted to pass it on. This article said that IBS and GERD seem to run hand-in-hand, but most people tend to treat the GERD...
Well, I'm relieved to know that I'm not the only one who has more than the usual hot flash / night sweats thing. After two years of no periods and not much else to get excited about , I thought this...
Thought I'd make a post where we can put "odds and end" so to speak. For nighttime, I found a very comfortable wedge pillow thru Penney's online. It runs around $25, and since I have always been a...
I also read that our stomachs are warm to begin with and cold drinks are a shock to it. I have tried the warm water (not always with a meal) and have to say that it does help. It's water - can't hurt!...
Thanks for all the replies. It is close to 2 1/2 years since my last period. I guess I just thought that once it was done and nothing else was shouting out at me, that it was a done deal, but...
I was wondering if anyone else seemed to have their first flare-up of GERD around the same time they went through menopause? I never had any issues with heartburn, acid reflux, but as the menopause...
friendlygal - It is an independently owned health food, vitamin, supplement, etc store. The owner has a master in nutrition. When I asked about GERD, he immediately said the DGL licorice & even...
Hi - I have the same problem. I went to an Ear, Nose & Throat doctor, who did a scope thru my nose (sounds awlful, but no biggie). Everything was fine, but he ordered a barium swallow (just had...
Hi - I just got back from my PCP and was prescribed Singulair to see if it will help. How long have you had sinus issues & the sore throat? I think I have always had the sinus draining for as...
I am new to this forum and am new to GERD. My husband was diagnosed years ago & has been on Prilosec for many years - he is doing well. I started to notice a slight burning in my throat this last...
