"I am extremely sensitive to all medications. If there is a side effect, I will get it and usually refrain from taking anything other than the furosemide and potassium chloride I have been on for many years to control my idiopathic pitting edema. However, I suffered vocal cord injury (dysphonia), dysphagia, as well as laryngospasm after using Symbicort 160 for only 5 days. I was referred to an ENT who thought I had LPR (I do not) and prescribed ranitidine 300 once a day and omeprazole. I will not take the omeprazole, but this AM took one 300 mg capsule of ranitidine as prescribed. 5 hours later, I have marked pitting edema in both legs. My legs were not at all swollen this morning but are severely swollen now (at least 1/2 inch pitting in each leg). There can be no other explanation than the capsule of ranitidine I took this morning. Needless to say, I will NOT be taking this drug again."

"I have taken Omeprazole for years without any issues, fantastic drug, however, I suffer with Helicobacter every year, and to have the test, I have to stop Omeprazole and take Ranitidine instead. Normally, I am fine, but this time I took 2 instead of 1 as the acid was still coming up and it was painful. This had side effects of severe neck pain, migraines, sickness, dizziness, confusion, tiredness, but unable to sleep. Never again."
