Can H Pylori cause anxiety symptoms ?

Post by prider90 »

new member here ! :) Hello from Romania !

28yo 65kg male with no past issues, no current meds.

3 years ago I suddenly began to feel very dizzy, stomach cramps and eventually diarheea. Went to the hospital and told me I may have salmonella. Did some tests that came back negative.
After that I started to get the 'sick' feeling and anxiety but without the stomach issues. This lasted almost 3 months. Went to another doc, did MRI s and bloodwork. Nothing found. I have this episode for the last 3 years !
This month the symptoms came back. Went to a doc again. Told me is probably anxiety. I told him that the feelings are causing me anxiety not viceversa. I began to feel better but last day got worse. Went again to the doc and asked me to do a h pylori test. I'm waiting for the result tomorrow. Can h pylori cause anxiety symptoms ?
Basically every day I feel:
-extreme nausea
-exhaustion
-sick feeling
-restlesness
I forgot to mention I do NOT have panic attacks, trouble breathing, heart palpitations or increased pulse.
ps: at night I feel absolutely normal! No troubles sleeping.

H. pylori can give stomach problem. and stomach problem may or may not raise anxiety.
I believe when the stomach symptom is relieved, then people are less concern about it. For example, if the symptom can be controlled by PPI, most people will just rely on PPI and move on.

But when the symptoms are not relieved, some patient tried many ways, seen many doctors, tired of problem not solved, then that can lead to frustration and ultimately anxiety. This is also observed among patients who had many antibiotic treatments and unable to kill multi drug resistant HP.

I think it does for me. But I have other issues like fructose malabsorption that also causes depression. However I had new depressive episodes after stopping fructose and reintroduced fat and vinegar (without sugar).

While I'm not a medical expert, it seems like you've already taken the right steps by seeking professional advice. Trusting the opinion of doctors is usually the best course of action when it comes to health concerns. However, if you're looking for additional ways to manage anxiety, there are indeed some great remedies that you can explore. Additionally, talking to a mental health professional or therapist can provide valuable support and strategies for coping with anxiety symptoms.

Hello Dear.! I’m Salomon 37 years old
No smoker
Social drinker

Had a weird sore throat like having a lump and a bit in my ear also weird sensation when I eat in my throat (no pain)so I decided to see my GP. At that point no heartburn or reflux either bloating .
He did a breathe tests to discard things and also gave me pantoprazole , the test came out with H pilory positive .So he decided so stop the medication and start with nexium Hp7 instead . He said that I have to start it next day .
That night had dinner with my wife and I got heartburn….I suffer anxiety and off course I spent the whole day reading things about pilory so I had a massive panic attack mixed with heartburn . At that point I had not started nexium . Because doc said start next day . But at the ER they said start straight away…3am….which I did….
Next day my life changed radically….I’ve had anxiety for years but never at the level that nexium hp7 has detonated.
I know is also my mind freaking out but I just can’t handle it , everywhere I go I cry , I’m scare of everything , had to stop working , spent 24 without sleep….,a night needed Valium to have 3 hours sleep…..horrible feelings .
At the ER they did x ray , blood test and heart test . All good but the I’m still feeling horrible , can’t even play with my baby , feel bloated and gassy I ate just small portions of food to avoid bloating and heartburn but it happened anyways . I did the treatment for 5 days and just couldn’t keep going…🙁, I ask my GP to stop nexium to treat my anxiety and then come back….I know that it would be harder than first time but I just can’t do it . I’ve been at ER the last 4 night , they already think I’m crazy and so do I….I’m so frustrated
I’ll try to start again next week if my mental health improves a bit or try to plan with my wife how we gonna do it to take care of the baby while I’m feeling los sh…during treatment .
I really wanna finish the treatment and get better

Hi,

Thanks for sharing your story. H. pylori has infected half the population in the world. So you dont need to worry too much.
also, people usually caught H. pylori when they were very young. So you most likely already had H. pylori for many years.

So try to calm down while having the treatment. You will experience some side effects from the pills, but it is usually very tolerable. H. pylori is a very smart bacteria and can quickly learn to resist the antibiotics. Therefore, it is important to finish the treatment according to the instructions to avoid treatment failure.

Please do a follow up breath test one month after your treatment to make sure the treatment is successful.

A few years back, I too was diagnosed with H. pylori, and it wasn't just stomach issues for me—I also felt really anxious, restless, and drained. Turns out, gut health and mental well-being are more connected than you'd think.

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a bacterium that can infect the stomach lining and lead to various gastrointestinal issues, including gastritis and peptic ulcers. Geometry Dash

It's important to note that the symptoms you're experiencing could be related to various factors, and a comprehensive evaluation by a healthcare professional is necessary for an accurate diagnosis.

Yes, H. pylori infection can contribute to anxiety symptoms in some individuals. The mechanism is not fully understood, but it may involve inflammation, changes in gut microbiota, and altered serotonin levels.
