Fiddling around with Bronchiectasis meds - omeprazole gives "gastric distress", but covers up symptoms reflux, sore mouth and loss of voice from carbocisteine. Gastric distress is shitty, but also, I am anaemic, and other than a pre-op blood test, no one has discussed my VB12, magnesium, calcium or iron levels.
Right now, one dose of omeprazole is enough to "get the party started", so I'm steering clear, but my mouth feels like it's covered in paper cuts, espresso is off the menu, and my voice goes weird if I talk too much, which I am prone to do.
On the upside, coming off omeprazole has gotten rid of the feeling of chronic fatigue.
