I have been diagnosed with barrets esophagus and severe acid reflux, are PPIs safe for me?

I am a 58 yr old male, good overall health, except I have been diagnosed with barrets esophagus and severe acid reflux. I have been on (Proton-pump inhibitors) ppi’s the last 20 years, 40 mlg the last 6-8 years, once a day. I have been trying to go off due to what I have read recently about long-lasting side effects, esp the kidney failure, as I donated one in 1980 to my father, and have no children. I have not found anything that seems to take it’s place, and struggle with just about everything I eat and drink though. Ranitidine seems to help the best, but only short term, and I would need to take it many times per day, every day. I just had my (Blood Urea Nitrogen Test) bun(6.43) and creatinine(123.76)checked. Would it be safe to go back on ppi’s, or what would you recommend? thanks!!

I have chronic shortness of breath?

Hi,
I have chronic shortness of breath. I usually feel a tightness in the chest area at the same time, and I have to stop mid sentence to take a deep breath sometimes after every word or every second word. But then sometimes when I really try hard to relax it is better. I have had the condition for about four years and I can remember a few occasions when it was not there, so that I could have a normal conversation.
I have a history of anemia and iron deficiency, high cholesterol ( but not high enough to be needing medication ), and narrow veins ( at least in the arms, the nurses always take a few minutes to decide which arm to take the blood from ).
I’m 43 years old, female and of normal weight.

Arogyam package test result shows imbalance in Homocystein level and vitamin B12 and D3 levels are very low?

Recently, my brother(26 Years) started felling multiple symptoms of fatigue, lack of interest and poor concentrations.
We consulted a Psychiatrist and on his advise we conducted all the test from Arogyam package. The test result shows imbalance in Homocystein level and vitamin B12 and D3 levels are very low.

I went to a physician in Lucknow and he said he does not recognize Arogyam report and ordered test from his own clinic. I requested him to treat the B12 and D3 deficiency immediately via injection or other methods but he’s adament for report from his own lab. This induces doubt about his intention.

To all the esteemed panel of doctors here, I have couple of questions.

1. Is it the Vitamin B12/D3deficiency or Homocystein imbalance thats causing the above mentioned symptoms of lack of interest and fatigue.
2. As my brother is working in a very pivotal position with a cosulting firm. So can any of you suggest a suitable treatment which is effective and and works in less time.
3. Can any of you also suggest suitable doctor nearby Lucknow/Hyderabad who can do the job easily and quickly.
Please help.

My mother is 74 years old and taking medicines in large quantities, I don’t know what to do?

My mother is 74 years old. She says she has hallucinations. She wants to go to the doctor every day. She says she has severe pain in her right side. She was diagnosed with pre-dementia and Alzheimers prior to my Dad’s passing last year. She says she sees dead people and angels. We took her to a Geriatric Specialist. He ran every test imaginable. He said she does not have Alzheimers and she is healthy as she can be. He placed her on a regimen of vitamins and she did well for a while. Now, she has gone to many different doctors (I was unaware) and is taking lots of medications. So, I begin looking into what she has been taking medicinally. She is currently taking promethazine, amitriptyline, estradiol, omeprazole, butalbital, sertraline and donepezil. What are the dangers of taking all of these medications together? Would this be why she is feeling this pains she talks about in her side? I do not know exactly what to do at this juncture. Now that I know she is taking all of these medications, what is my best course of action?

Every time I cough or sneeze I pass blood clots, also through vaginal discharge and during intercourse?

I’m a 39 year old female. I’m not on any medications. I am a smoker. I have been having an issue for several months now. Everytime I cough or sneeze i pass these blood clots that are nearly the size of my palm. This happens even when im not on my period. When im on my period they are even bigger and have even had them fall out of my pants leg because the pad couldnt hold them. When im not on my period the bleeding and clots only last about an hour or so and stops until i sneeze or cough again. I also bleed when my husband and i have sex. There is no pain. Just the huge clots and the excessive bleeding

Chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression, and digestive issues?

I have had numerous symptoms for a longtime including chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression, and digestive issues. My Dr.prescribed me a medication that coated my stomach to help with mild gastritis. I started feeling way way worse. I read that it could block magnesium absorption. So I stopped taking it and started taking magnesium. Instantly I felt amazingly better. Everything was gone, except for loose stools. I feltlike anormal person again. I was taking fairly large doses of 2,000 mg. It seemed that after a couple weeks; the magnesium would build up and I would have some ill effects, which resembled those of a deficiency. I would go off it for a couple days then go back on, and I would be good again. I have been doing this for 6 months. It seems like my health is completely dependent upon taking magnesium.This really worries me, because I would like the problem to be fixed. My questions are is it normal to take this long to correct a deficiency? and Is there another issue that should be looked at regarding the deficiency? Thank you for your time….male 34
