Brief Ans-Chest Pain under left ribs with Prilosec?Under Investigation
HI,Dear,Welcome with Your query to HCM.
If prilosec is not working,you need to reduce on Whole grains and high cellulose Veg diet,mostly to purrees with digestants to add on it.
Understanding Causes-
It is the increased IBS activity due to increased bacterial food load,which is caused with prilosec,that causes the Atrial fib giving pounding heart.
You might have had heavy food loads overnight,causing all this Cardiac stress,which is suggestive of Coronary compromised supply.
Corrective Suggestions-
I would suggest as follows-
Continue with Prilosec but would suggest to reduce its dose for 1 week
Recheck with Cardiologist for dis-lipidemia which needs reviewed Cardiac Work up
Stress Test and Angiography needs to be done.
Plenty of fluids, with limited solid intake.
Low fat,high carb diets with Low salts is a must
Light overnight solid food loads only till 6 Pm.
No Liquid food supplementary diet after 6 Pm.
Walking exercise for 30 minutes,before going to be.
Addition of Digestant Enzymes-Like Unizyme Tab
with above food changes,would reduce your cardiac disturbances.
All this would control your symptoms
Impression-
Changes in Life style and food habits with added exercises would reduce this cardiac disturbance soon.
Need Cardiac Evaluation for Lipid control by statins / and
