Enlarged And Painful Breasts. Taking Nexium For Acid And Gastritis. Earlier Treated For H Pylori. Nexium Side Effect?
Hi I have been prescribed Nexium for too much acid and gastritis. I also had Helicobratra pylori bacteria and completed course of treatment for this about 2 weeks ago. I am still prescribed 20mg of nexium. This week I am experiencing enlarged and painful breasts and I feel that although it is a very rare side effect of Nexium that I am affected in this way by Nexium. I am wondering if there is an alternative medication that I can take instead of Nexium. Note I seem to be extra sensitive to medications at the best of times. thank you
