Beware.. I Felt Like I Swallowed Razor Blades

Took dexilant for nearly 3 months. The first month I thought there was improvement from this sudden onset of heart burn I was experiencing. I've taken ranitidine & omeprazole for years for reflux but this heartburn was totally new. I was just recently scoped...all good. During the 2nd month, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, more heartburn & reflux, & it felt like I had swallowed razor blades. During the 3rd month I decided to stop it & go back on omeprazole & apple cider vinegar & aloe Vera juice. I feel 1,000% better. Beware, I kept thinking this is supposed to lessen my symptoms, how could it be making me so sick?

Hello, Karen! How are you?

Unfortunately, those can be side effects that some people may experience with Dexilant, as reported by the FDA. It may also cause stomach pain, goiter, angina and menstrual disorders.

Omeprazole is in the same class of medications and carries the same risk of such side effects occurring. Much of it really depends on you and how your body reacts to something.

Is there anything I can help with?
