Lansoprazole [posted
1/4/99]
Question: I have been taking Lansoprazole 30 mg for about 15 days. After
about 8 days I started to have pain in my chest, and my heart was beating faster then
normal. I went to the doctor, had a EKG, and they said my heart looked and sounded good.
This only happens every once in a while. Could Lansoprazole be making my chest and heart
beat fast? I didn’t have this problem until I started taking Lansoprazole.
Answer: Wouldn’t be common, but irregular beats are listed in
the occasional symptoms of the drug in the PDR. Stop it and see.
