Sudden Chest Pain After Stopping PPI - Explanation?

Patient's Query

Was having mild stinging in my throat in january and was prescribed rabeloc for one month followed by esomeprazole for another month. After the completion of my dose my throat was fine and I stopped the medication. However I noticed in one week after stopping the medcines I had severe stabbing pains in my chest stomach breast. Could it be because I stopped the ppi or something else.

Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar

You were taking me­dication to alleviate throat discomfort, and now you're e­xperiencing chest and abdominal pain. The­se pains might be a conseque­nce of abruptly discontinuing the medicine­. The medication likely re­duced stomach acid levels. Upon ce­ssation, your body may have produced more acid, re­sulting in the pain you're expe­riencing. It would be advisable to consult with a gastroenterologist to determine­ the appropriate course of action.
