Omeprazole used for

I'm 16 years old, and i'm having pain in my upper abdomen after eating anything for a month. The pain has gotten worse since. I ate the pantop hp kit for 10 days on my pediatrician's advice with no response. A uti diagnosed in a urine culture test and a hemorrhagic cyst was found in the left ovary in an ultrasound. But there is no pain in the lower abdomen. Now, pain occurs anytime, and the pain is different, like sometimes heartburn, gas, or stabbing pain. I also have had gerd for a long time because many times the food comes back up and I chew it and then swallow. Could it be because of anxiety, or is there another reason? Should I get an endoscopy?

Hi, you predominantly have gerd. Pain may be due to overlapping symptoms of dyspepsia (epigastric pain syndrome) or gerd related. Anxiety can precipitate or worsen the symptoms of gerd. If you have taken ppi (pantoprazole, omeprazole etc.) for some time regularly and have no symptom relief or if you have difficulty in swallowing, vomiting, blood in vomit, weight loss. Then you will benefit from consulting a gastroenterologist. May need to undergo, endoscopy +/- oesophageal manometry.

Since the medical history is more than 14 years and your gastro enterologist seems to have managed on these complaints, it is necessary for you to 1. Take proper care about selecting your diet, timing of food and possible food allergies. 2. Have a detail check up on body systems other than digestive system by a consulting physician - internal medicine - md (more to explore on weight loss) and 3. Continued and periodical review from same gastroenterlogist. If nothing definite comes up, 4. You may also need consultation of an experienced psychiatrist.

Yes, you are right that omeprazole is given to treat various conditions like gastric irritation, heartburn, acid reflux, etc. The medication you mentioned can cause gastric irritation; thus, it is advised to take omeprazole along with it. I will suggest you consult a psychiatrist for your symptoms as he is better trained to treat your depressive symptoms. If you are comfortable with online consultation you can contact us for an appointment.

It can be because of infection. 1.take home cooked, fresh light food. 2. Drink boiled water. 3. Take ors. Take care of dehydration. 4. Avoid fast foods, spicy and fried foods 5. Curd is good for you. Homeopathy is a very effective for this problem. For details consult online.

Hello , probably your father is suffering from congenital hiatus hernia. If surgery is not required (as told by the endoscopist) medical therapy is sufficient to take of symptoms. But I want to know what is the exact problem that your father is suffering which brought him to the doctor? If it is cough, then he needs a detailed evaluation at his age. Regarding use of pantoprazole or omeprzole or any of these proton pump inhibitors, they are more or less quite similar in actions. So do not worry about the composition of the medicine. Hope this was helpful.

It depends on how many weeks pregnant you are. Avoid lying down after eating. Split your meals and dont skip any meal If you are taking iron tablets, stop for 4-5 days Paracetamol doesn't help to treat gastritis

Dear lybrate-user, medications are not working as you are not being guided in the right direction. I have been dealing with similar cases for more then 31 years now with testified results. Let me explain you about your issue in brief - does it happen you get little erection you feel you should go in and the moment you try to enter it goes down and it’s not hard enough for you to penetrate? Sometimes even if you penetrate you seem to lose your erection soon? At some point in a man’s life, he may have difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection. Erection problems occur when you can’t achieve or maintain an erection that’s firm enough to have sexual intercourse. Erection problems are also known as: * erectile dysfunction (ed) * impotence * sexual dysfunction in your case I believe you have developed symptoms of erectile dysfunction. However this issue is not a major problem to worry as there are medications and treatment available for the same. Rest assured your problem can be resolved.
