7 weeks ago I started to feel severe nausea, burning in my stomach, panic, and flushing. Thought I had the flu but after a week went to the doc and he said I had a bug and to just go home and rest. A week later back to the doc and he said a sinus infection could be making me nauseated. Really? I went with it and he put me on 10 days of amoxicillin. Wow, in four days I was all better. I was thrilled. No tummy problems, no panic, no nothing but pure joy...ahhh.
Then 3 days after stopping the antibiotics severe stomach cramping and then the burning and nausea came back with severe constipation,
It got so bad I went to the ER. They did blood work and a CAT scan and then sent me home with the dx of "a bug, a virus" and the horrible advice that "I will eventually poop"
So, here I am constipated horribly (I think anti nausea medicine contributed to that) nauseated, weak, burning in my stomach. Another trip to the doc and they wouldn't test me for h pylori because they said I didn't have the right symptoms.
I am at my wits end. Are my symptoms such that I should fight for an H pylori test. I have nothing to be nervous or upset about (except being ill) and the docs say its just an upset tummy for nerves and panic attacks.
Can you have H Pylori for years with symptoms coming and going? Can symptoms be nausea, panic, constipation, burning?
Thanks guys. Posting this to keep me from going mad.
I am usually in pretty good health and am very happy except for tummy issues which have now turned very bad. Thank you!!!!
