What Does Chest Pressure While On Losartan, Bystolic And Omeprazole?

63, 5 7, 250.....heart disease for 20 years, bypass and stents, apnea and afib. After I take my medications to include a 100mg Losartan potassium.....my chest gets heavy and heart feels like it may come up in my throat, with what feels to be ragged beats. I am beginning to think it may be this medication causing the issue. I also take, bystolic, imdur, water pill, potassium, pradaxa, omeprazole.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your symptoms are more suggestive of GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). GERD is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this, the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause central chest pain, burping, nausea etc.
Follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in GERD.
1. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
2. Take pantoprazole and levosulperide combination on empty stomach twice daily.
3. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food.
4. Go for walking after meals. Avoid heavy meals, instead take frequent small meals.
5. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in bed to prevent reflux.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.

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