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 changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
