Hey guys my doctor gave me nexium( esomeprazole magnesium) 40 mg..everytime i take them i feel like i cant breathe like my thoath is closing up feels like short ness of breathe i dunno he said its strong stuff and i dont know that is the side affects..anyone?

0 side effects that are bad...they're all great side effects of better health!..:)

I think 90% of the people here take it, including me!

E..

[padrepio34]

But why does it feel like i cant breathe? Short ness of breathe..like my thoaht wants to close up

You may have eaten something that you're allergic too..TAKE an anti-histamine of any type, sort, or name..It may be histamines making you feel like that.

What have you eaten, if it all?

Anything different today???

And, yes..acid up there can cause that all by itself..

Take the omeprazole too. ASAP.

E-Man. :)

If this is common, think about getting an OTC inhaler (to open up the lungs and air passages)....

No, it isn't serious...just follow the suggestions friend. :)

Ok thanks brother for the info..yea i was thinking maybe there strong and have that feeling 😜

[Enduronman]

Yes friend, you're welcome. Acid in the esophagus can do all that you had mentioned and those meds will prevent it bruh..:)

E-mans spot on as usual :D

my 2 cents worth would be to also .... remember take them as directed, if you take them on an empty stomach they can give that effect ..... try to take them 1.5 -2 hours after eating and 1 -2 hours before eating, it might help too :D

Yea i take them on a empty stomach in the morning and ill wait a half hr to eat.

[padrepio34]

Thanks e-man for the info now i know its from the pills so i dont have to freak out :) Thanks my brother

[SamC]

ok i would change that coz your stomach is very empty in the morning it will most likely be causing what you are feeling

Try eating breakfast and taking them around 2 hours after breakfast, then have a bite to eat an hour or 2 later (which will prob take you to lunch time) see if that helps

[padrepio34]

Ok so ill have breakfast then wait 2 hours then take it but how should i wait to eat after i tKe them?

[SamC]

you should wait at least 30 mins after taking them to eat but i usually wait an hour (doesnt really matter if its longer) ...

I have been on them for 6 years and this is just the way i found best to tolerate them, you may be different but its worth a try im pretty sure it will help you as i used to get the same thing and changing the way i took them helped me loads, let us know if it helps :)

[padrepio34]

I will deff do that thanks sam!! Will let u guys know!

[SamC]

no probs, hope it helps you :D

[Enduronman]

Yes friend, and Spectacular Sammy too!!

Best (better) Wishes to you!! :)
