What Causes Chest Pain While On Protonix For H.pylori?

Needing some ideas of what could be going on with my mom. She has had h pylori bacteria and ulcers which they said were gone but she still takes the protonix. Now she is experiencing pain in her chest when she swallows, eating drinking and lots of air coming up and that's painful. But no burning.

Brief Answer:
Most likely its: Side effect of Protonix.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,
Thank you for asking your query on health care magic.

The most common side effects that occur with pantoprazole(Protonix) include:
stomach pain, chest pain, nausea or vomiting, gas(lots of air coming up).
However, because drugs have different effects on any person, we can not guarantee that these symptoms are all possible side effects of pantoprazole.
If the H.Pylori infection is over, and the ulcer has been fully healed now, I may suggest you stop treatment with Protonix. If the symptoms disappear, we are sure that they have had side effects of treatment. A re-examination of the gastro-hepatologist would be necessary.

If you have more question,Feel free to ask.
Thank you.
