Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Migraine Headache With Aura While On Nexium?
I have been taking nexium for a few years and also experience migraine headaches with aura. Could the nexium be depleting magnesium and causing more migraines. I just read about Prelief. Could this be something that would be safe to take with diltiazem and flecanide for a fib. I have stopped taking the nexium be still experience heart burn. I starting taking Pepcid but read that might deplete magnesium.
Nexium can deplete some amount of magnesium and lead to the migraines you are experiencing, but in the other hand the increased acid content of your stomach can also aggravate migraine episodes. Please first try to find an antacid that helps suppress the excess acid production and then observe to see if you still have the migraines. You can experiement with prelief as well.
Best wishes.
