Could Dizziness, Hot Flashes, Anxiety And Lost Appetite Be Due To Daily Intake Of Tums Or Anxiety Disorder?
I've been taking tums daily for about the last year and i"ve been feeling really bad. Its not like im sick but i get hot flashes a lot, dizziness, anxiety, not hungry or when i am i cant eat very much, and i've lost a lot of weight. Is this becasue to much calicum or is it possibly a anxiety disorder?

Thank you for your question.
The symptoms you describe sound most likely like anxiety. However, tums are meant to be taken "as needed" and not as a daily medication. If you feel you need them daily, I suggest seeing your physician to investigate a underlying problem. Take a break from the tums and see how you feel after a few days; in the mean time make an appointment for a physical and consult your physician.
