Question 2

what is the treatment for omeprazole overdose?

Accepted Answer

Nothing: No need to worry, but make sure to only take medications as prescribed.

Question 3

can u overdose on topamax and omeprazole?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, unfortunately you can. If you take a lot of it, I would say that you can overdose on almost any medication, regardless of how safe the "safety profile" is. The amount of medication you need to take to overdose depends on the medication itself. Whether it is enough to be fatal also depends on the medication and the amount taken. Hope this helps.

Question 4

do i really need to take omeprazole & famotadine, my last upper gi showed no signs of acid reflux.

Accepted Answer

Depends: These medicines are for reflux and ulcers but they are mainly to decrease the acid production. Why both, would be a question your doctor should be the one to answer.

Question 5

ast 33 alt 79. sign to worry? i remember everytime i do a blood test it's either higher and normal. why does it fluctuate? c.albicans iga is high too. what does this mean? i take omeprazole 40mg once a day?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, your medication may be the explanation for mild elevation of ALT. Do not take alcohol, or Tylenol. If you are overweight, lose weight.  
Wish you good health!

Accepted Answer

Chest : Chest pain is a symptom that causes great concern for patients, and rightfully so.  Chest pain may be a symptom of a life-threatening condition such as a heart attack.  Chest pain can also be caused by other problems such as muscle pain or heartburn.

Chest pain from angina (heart pain) is often described by patients as pressure, squeezing, or tightness in the chest.  It can radiate to the neck, arms, or back.  It can be associated with other symptoms such as nausea, sweating, palpitations, shortness of breath,  weakness, or fainting.  Angina can be brought on by exercise, and sometimes relieved with resting.  Risk factors for angina include patients with high blood pressure, smoking, a family history of heart disease, high cholesterol, or diabetes.   However, some people also describe their angina as feeling like indigestion or heart burn.

Classic heartburn can be associated with an acid taste in the mouth, or with regurgitation of acid-tasting fluid into the mouth (reflux), especially if bending over or lying down.  Certain foods can contribute to indigestion (chocolate, fatty or fried foods, or coffee for example).

Both angina and heartburn cause pain in the middle of the chest.  It is important that if you have chest pain and don't know the cause that you contact a physician for consultation.  If your symptoms feel like classic heartburn, you can try an antacid, but if you have more concerning symptoms of feeling lightheaded, sweating, nausea, palpitations, or fainting, or if your symptoms are severe or last greater than 20 minutes, you should be evaluated immediately by a physician.  If you are concerned you are having angina, you should also take a 325 mg Aspirin (if you have not been told not to use Aspirin by your doctor), as this can improve outcome in patients with heart problems.  Any new or persistent chest pain patient should be evaluated by a doctor.
