Eating alka seltzer probably means low sodium levels. I'd suggest having a electrolyte test run 2 times a year or more. Once the sodium levels get up too high it may suppress potassium. Keep everything in balance.

I just started taking this medication as prescribed recently from a specialty doctor from the VA medical center, Charleston, SC. I'm on my 1st week, so I have yet to notice significant changes or noticeable differences since not taking it before. The doctor prescribed it to lower some acidic levels in my urinalysis reports to see if this will work. But WebMD is showing how this drug interacts with others, as in taking Lisinopril or even lower dose 81mg aspirins. By taking this with the other meds, it decreases my kidney function while it may increase low blood pressure, so be sure to check this drug with other meds you are taking

I am in menopause and have cravings to take bites of alka seltzer until it is gone. I have been "eating" it for about a year now, about 1 pack (2 tablets) everyday. Could this be doing anything to my health?

I suffer from frequent indigestion. baking soda mixed with water, ( as per instructions) works nearly all the time and much quicker than antacids you buy in the store, which I find are only about 40% effective.
