Anyone else get a burning in their chest after taking prescription medications?



Recommended Posts

I am over a year and 3 months out from gastric bypass surgery and lately I have been getting a burning pain in my chest every time I take my prescription medications and Vitamins in the morning. This just started a couple of weeks ago. Has anyone else had this happen to them?

Sometimes I feel that when I take the larger pills like ursodiol or prilosec. I still take chewable vitamins but I plan on switching to capsules when my stockpile dwindles :)

I took tylenol extra strength tablets last night, but I did bite them in half before swallowing them.

I'm less than 2 months out from surgery, so I don't know if it's normal, but I got similar kinds of swallowing issues when I had the lap band, so I guess I'm used to it.

Try taking your pills in applesauce. I did that for years and years after my surgery because my Vitamins and other supplements made me so nauseated. It worked. If that doesn't help, take famotidine about an hour before taking your pills and see if that makes a diff.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
