I was over 1mth pregnant when i found out n decided to abort it.The 1st pill i took was calld pregnan,supposedly strong enuf to hav an abortive effect.yet,nothing happened.Desprate,i looked for other pill n found cytotec.it was given to me with some other capsules(don’t know the name).i took it n had minor bleeding,brownish colour.i had cramps which only lasted the night.i waited for 1 week,still with minor bleeding but felt nothing and no traces of fetus or blood clots coming out.after almost 2 weeks,i took cytotec again 4 d 2nd time,d effect was immediate,i had to rush to the toilet and a lot of fluid came out from the anus,but no blood.an hour or so there was bleeding,again it was minor.but that was it.while taking it,i took panadol with CocaCola to induce bleeding,but also didnt feel d effect,infact i felt it cured my headaches.now im 3mths pregnant,n recently went 4 ultrasound,it shwed my baby,wit heartbeat n limbs,but im wondering if ive spoilt d baby nw dat i want to keep it.

The typical recommendations for acid reflux that do not include medication are:-Do not eat three to four hours before bedtime.-Raise the head of the bed (a brick under each of the two legs at the head of the bed are sufficient).-Avoid wearing tight clothing.-Avoid use of caffiene.-Avoid large meals (eat more frequent, smaller meals).If all else fails, see a doctor. You may have a structural defect (like a hiatal hernia) or other condition (like H. Pylori) that may need treatment.

I just got a prescription for Bentyl for IBS. I’ve taken Zantac for years for acid reflux. I know that Bentyl is, in part, an antacid, and my mom told me not to take my Zantac while I’m on the Bentyl (3x a day for 3 days, then 2x a day for 2 weeks). My doctor never said anything about it. My guts are still spasming and I have awful heartburn. Can I take the Zantac, or should I just give the Bentyl time?

Well, they are both used for heartburn. I don’t know how they really compare, but I do know that for a lot of people Protonix is way too expensive. My pharmacist (I work at a pharmacy) always tells people complaining about the price to try Prilosec OTC and they will usually stick with it. You should call a pharmacy or your doctors office for more information though.

About three years ago I started waking up in middle of night and trying to catch my breath.I started having chest pains below my breast bone and around my heart.I went to doctor and he did gastrology test.Nothing.It continued around times that were stressful like arguing with co workers or other things.I went to hospital two times.They checked my xray and gall bladder nothing.Last year they checked my heart with stress test and the dye exam.Nothing!!!Well im relieved it isnt my heart but I cant figure it out.I have been on everything from nexium to prilosec.I just started taking blood pressure pills because it has gone up since this started.My symptoms include sweaty hands,heavy feeling around breast bone and chest, pain in lower back, light headed……could this be a panic attack.Ive seen 3 doctors so far and nothing.

I have been coughing at night for weeks now. Mostly at night. I will be fine and then go into a coughing fit. I use sugar-free cough drops that surpress it but as soon as it is gone the cough returns. I have heard that heartburn medicine can cause a cough. Is this the kind of cough it causes?
