According to your patients, what is the time frequency of Nexium (esomeprazole) fully healing their ulcers, or stomach problems?
Upper left stomach pain I have GERD ulcer and hernia. Taking nexium (esomeprazole)?
Ever since I've started using Nexium (esomeprazole) for my stomach ulcer I've had; headaches, dizzy, weakness/twitching, fatigue, bowel/bladder/vision changes.
I've had various stomach issues for a month. Went to the ER, no tests done. Went to my PCP, was prescribed Nexium, which I've taken for almost a week. PCP said I had either gastritis, ulcers, or a combination of both. Why won't anyone opt for tests?
Isnt PPI like Nexium (for acid reduction) and sucralfate (for covering effected area to allow healing)an ideal combo for stomach gastritis and ulcers?
