<human>: Needing some ideas of what could be going on with my mom. She has had h pylori bacteria and ulcers which they said were gone but she still takes the protonix. Now she is experiencing pain in her chest when she swallows, eating drinking and lots of air coming up and thats painful. But no burning.
<bot>: Brief Answer:Most likely its: Side effect of Proton ix. Detailed Answer:Hello, Thank you for asking your query on Chat Doctor. The most common side effects that occur with pantoprazole(Proton ix) include: stomach pain, chest pain, nausea or vomiting, gas(lots of air coming up).  However, because Chat Doctor. If the H. Pylori infection is over, and the ulcer has been fully healed now, I may suggest you stop treatment with Proton ix. If the symptoms disappear, we are sure that they have had side effects of treatment. A re-examination of the gastro-hepatologist would be necessary. If you have more question, Feel free to ask. Thank you.
