Did not associate these symptoms with rabeprazole until my sister said something. Was prescribed by my doctor. Soreness and dryness of the throat, fast heartbeat, chasing my breeding,have osteoarthritis so associated my hip pain to it, have been taking this pill for over a year. Also went away last week and forgot my pill, had heartburn all week didn t mater what I ate. Am I to be concerned. Am I in trouble, should I stop taking these pills, seem strange to me. I know too much acid in the stomach. All these symptoms happened at different times.
