NEXIUM and dizziness/tachycardia/fatigue-think i will stop it

[jennyVee]

hi guys while I am on my 3rd week of taking 2 nexiums, i noticed I get tachycardia/dizziness/fatigue/high blood pressure

and was not sure what was causing it, and I decide dto check online for side effects, the high blood pressure Igot from the begining but it wasbetter after a week, but the tachycardia/dizziness are very bad, anyway I amnot sure if i shoudl just stop it and take something else, lik zantac, i am so sick of this, I am not sure what would help at this point, but i am glad i did not take 4 nexiums, mine are 40 mg each, and the pharmacist said that taking 4 is not safe at all, 2 is about the max you can take, so be careful guys, dont over do it on nexiums, since they can be dangerous,

I am not sure if i should stop them completely or just take 1, i am not sure what else they can give me but i am so tired of this acid mess since i still have not eaten solid foods, and its driving me crazy.

I have a solution for you that worked for me, I take nexium 40 mg with an alternate called carafate 3 teaspoons to be exact, talk to your doctor it might work for you. just don't quit your nexium especially if you have an ulcer.

Hi thanks thats a great idea anyway i dont have an ulcer
but i do have gastritis-esophagitis-LPR-and esophagal spasms

is the carafate good? does it coat the stomach like pepto? thanks for the advice i will ask my doc for some, do you kno of any med for esophagal spasms I am getting alot of them, it hurts when i swallow, let me know thanks

I was prescribed nifedipine for esophageal spasms. This is a calcium channel blocker. It also lowers your blood pressure and this was an issue for me as I already have low blood pressure, I was very dizzy after taking it. My current GI (we moved) told me there are no standard treatments for esophageal spasms. Good luck and I hope you will feel better soon.
