Taking Flomax and Omeprazole

Posted by sbtheplumber1 @sbtheplumber1, Sep 24 10:02am

I had taken Flomax at night with no complications for kidney stones. Then was switched to mornings a different time for prostatitis and started having chest pains and palpitations. After 3 ER visits and no help I stopped the Flomax and chest pain went away , then I took one more pill and it came back. I was talking with a friend about it and her husband had the same issue and found out he was also taking Omeprazole . So if anyone has this issue let me know, maybe I’m not allergic to Flomax. I’ll be mentioning it to my PCP next week!

Omeprazole and famotadine work differently. Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor and much stronger than famotadine, which is an h2 blocker. My gastroenterologist likened it to a BB gun versus a cannon.
