Yes, I already do take 40mg of Omeprazole 2x day. I have had GERD since being pregnant with twins over 4 years ago. when this happened last time! I had 2 endoscopies and bunch of other tests the revealed little. The problem seemed to resolve on it's own, but started up again during this corse of Prednisone, so I thought there would be some connection.
Hi there,
Prednisone can cause gastro esophageal reflux disease as one of its side effects. The symptoms of GERD are heartburn,regurgitation,difficulty in swallowing,nausea,pain with swallowing etc.It is possible that the symptoms experienced by you are due to prednisolone.At the same time other predisposing factors for GERD are hiatal hernia,obesity,Zollinger Ellison syndrome etc.It is suggested to visit your attending doctor and get evaluated. You may need medications like proton pump inhibitors.H2 receptor blockers etc.Do write to me again.
Best luck and regards!
