In Reply to: Has anyone experienced heart palpitation from prilosec/prevacid? posted by Andy on March 29, 2000 at 19:05:46:

: I developed stomach ulcers while on prednisone. At about that time I started prilosec and I felt my heart fluttering - skipped beats. It seemed to go away when I quit the medicine. I switched to prevacid and the heart skips seemed to return. I am not sure (like my Dr.) if this is in my head or if the medicine is causing it. Has anyone else experienced this? Thank you

Hi! I have been aware that I have had heart palpitations for several years, but I recently started taking Prevacid and rather than just feeling lightheaded during a palpitation, I feel that I am about to pass out. I'm going to try to stop consumption of caffeine and see if that makes a difference before I stop taking Prevacid.
