What Causes Dizziness And Excessive Sweating After Taking Nexium?

Hi, I once took nexium because of heartburn and blowting. Fifteen minutes later I felt weak, dizzy, unable to walk. I had to ask at two coworkers for help to lay me down. Suddenly I couldnt open my eyes, cannot talk, feeling like passing out. I was hearing but cannot not talk. They had to call 911, to me to the ER, and I start swetting uncontrolable. The IV went off my skin, they had to use masking tape. With a strong pain in my stomach, two hours later, I felt better and I had to stay in the hospital for four days. Diagnostic, stomach pain. I thing I was poison with the nexium. Could that be?

Hello,

It may cause low magnesium in few patients may present like dizziness and palpitations.

But it won't cause above side effects commonly. But you have to check once again which medication you took.

Please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
