Hi everyone,Nexium is a medication that is often used to treat heartburn and other acid-related conditions. I have been taking this medication for a few weeks now and have noticed a slight increase in my blood pressure. Is there anything I should consider before taking this medication?Nick:
I have a question. What I do is take a Nexium tablet. I take it every day and it works great. However, my blood pressure is too high. How can I manage it?
Nurse:Hi Nick,
I’m on the 14th day of taking Nexium, but it's still taking a bit of a toll. It is important to keep your blood pressure as high as possible and not overdo it. The doctor recommended that I take a lower dose of the medication and stick to the lower dose. However, I also feel that if it makes you feel better, I would do some more research and see if it helps and if it helps to control my symptoms. Thanks in advance.
I have taken a few heartburn medications before and it has always helped. I have noticed some improvements in my blood pressure after using the medication. I also noticed some more side effects to it. Are there any things I should know before starting the medication?
Thank you both for your time and help!
I have to say, I have noticed some changes in my blood pressure. It is a little odd that my blood pressure is so high but it has been getting better. What should I do?
You can take a lower dose of Nexium or get a lower dose. But, I think taking the lower dose could also help your symptoms.
If you do get any side effects, you need to talk to your healthcare provider. They will be able to recommend the most effective and safe option that works best for you.
I do not have any specific side effects to take with Nexium. What about other medications?
Thank you for your response. I will do some more research and see if I can find a suitable medication for my condition. Any advice or advice on how to manage my symptoms and if this medication is right for me?
You can take Nexium or a lower dose if it helps your symptoms. However, if it does not make you feel better, it may be worth talking to your healthcare provider first. They may have more experience and can prescribe a different medication.
If you have any concerns or questions about the medication, feel free to ask here or ask in the.
You can also talk to your doctor if you have any questions. This is the first time I have heard of using a lower dose of Nexium. Thanks again for the support and advice!
I’ve tried the medication and have had no negative effects. I feel very much like myself. I just want to know if it is possible to take this medication without any side effects.
I would try some other lifestyle changes and see if it is possible to manage my symptoms better. It is always important to talk to your doctor about any changes in your lifestyle.
Thank you in advance. I will definitely consult with my doctor as I feel like myself again. And, if anything else I think it would be best for me to stick with the medication for now and not take the higher dose.
You need to think about what kind of medications or foods you take. I am going to start with taking a combination of Nexium and omeprazole. I just started taking omeprazole and feel great. But, I can’t swallow omeprazole because it is so sensitive. So, I would try it. I also want to try taking omeprazole with food but I’m not sure if it would work for me.
You can also talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns about your lifestyle. They can be able to suggest the best medication for you.
I am on the 14th day of taking Nexium.
