Very scary experience the other night..woke up with excruciating chest pain, unbearable.... I panicked... started taking my BP because I feared heart attack (had stroke 5 years ago) Pressure continued to rise to stroke levels...later figured out this rise was due to me freaking out, expecting the worst. Took my old pressure med I had saved for emergencies and headed for our emergency room ...well, my heart was fine, what a sweet relief...Dr prescribed Zantac...I was left to figure out the cause of all this...doctor really no help. I took the Zantac without question due to the excruciating chest pain...this was a big mistake.
Got home and started with Dr Google and our trusty forum....well all this talk about stomach acid kind of side tracked me again...I didnt want to hear about acid and how to get rid of it ...if I could find the cause, I would be closer to a solution. I really didn't find the clue until I looked at everything that went into my stomach that day. My guess is I got some sort of bug from my evening raw milk w cacoa before bed and this ended up giving me this terrible chest pain.
I suspected a gut issue but didn't know what to do...until I reached for my Artemisinin (it was first day of my on cycle) and a light went on in my head...I know Art is effective for Chrons, Sibo and gut health. This issue happened on my Art off cycle (4 days on 3 off). 30 minutes after taking it...no more chest pain, belching etc!. I felt great!... but now had to deal w the Zantac side effects till my kidneys got rid of that ***t. It took my old kidneys several days.
I learned several lessons
Dont panic, you can raise your pressure to unsafe levels...dont believe me?...just think about sex or meditate and watch how you can raise and lower pressure...and if you think you are dying...well.
Taking Zantac, a drug for heartburn...think twice! And that is why I'm posting this experience...Zantac made me a zombie, it affected my eyesight and gave me thoughts of suicide!, yes me, Mr Positive was accepting suicide!!??...no sleep, no interest in food... and it goes on...how can they sell such a drug?...alarming was my eyesight got so bad had trouble using computer...I know we all react differently to things and I was amazed at a testimonial where someone was on this drug for 15 years?!...must have been a politician. But digging much, much deeper you will find the bad testimonials that could kill this supposedly benign drug..."hearing voices, suicide thoughts, threats of lawsuits". I threw the drug out.
Why take a drug for heartburn anyway?
Another feather in the cap for Artemisinin.
