Esomeporazole terrible symptoms
Posted , 2 users are following.
I've been using Lanzoprazole (30mg)since November and as I was having breakthrough symptoms (fairly mild), I was switched to Esomeporazole 5 days ago. Since taking Esomeporazole, I have felt severely unwell and ended up in A&E with chest pains, palpitations and sweating. In A&E they said my heart was fine but that was all tested when I had calmed down. When I am having an episode, my resting heart rate can go up to 130 bpm. I also have an over medicated thyroid at the moment so some symptoms could be attributed to that but those symptoms were relatively mild and really ramped up the day I started Esomeporazole.
My queries are:
Has anyone experienced similar?
I am not taking any more Esomeporazole from today as I cannot tolerate it. I am due to see my Dr soon but in the meantime, would you either take no PPI at all? Or would you revert back to lansoprazole until speaking with Dr? I guess I am worried to take nothing at all.

i had been on Esomeprozole 40mg my doctor told me only to take them for 4 weeks due to excessive heartburn and then to return to Lansoprazole 30mg so in fact its been like going cold turkey and i feel awful rebound hyperacidity is making my life a misery the pain i am constantly in with my stomach is awful ,i wish i had never taken Esomeprozole i just wish someone could tell me how long i will have this pain because trying to see a GP is a joke and I'm sure they will think i am just over anxious , Have you had bad stomach pain with these tablets
