Hello Everyone, I was hoping you would be able to help me.
About 3 weeks ago i started suffering with really bad indigestion and heartburn. I was getting that horrid bloating feeling and sharp pains across the top of my abdomen.
I went to see my doctor and she put me on omeprazole told me to wait 3 weeks, after two weeks my anxiety really started to play up as i lost about 9lbs in weight, i think maybe because i was eating so delicately scared too trigger the heartburn and indigestion. I went back even though i was starting to feel better as i was concerned about the weight loss. She gave me full blood tests and stool tests. Which have all come back fine.
She said the only thing they hadnt tested for was an ulcer, so i have had to stop the omeprazole for 2 weeks to allow it to clear from my system.
Since i stopped my omeprazole (friday 18th) my indigestion and heartburn have been fine really the odd little bit here and there but nothing that even i would worry about. But dont know if this is due to the omeprazole still being in my systems.
But i cannot shake this nauseous feeling and i cannot get my appetite back. My weight loss seems to have bottomed out, somedays lose a bit others may get it back. After meals i always seem to need the toilet, especially in the morning and lunch.
Im constantly looking at my stools for blood but they are normal brown (sorry for the details)
Just wondering & hoping maybe someone else has been through this and could help me understand? have i got something really wrong like the 'c' word or is it my anxiety playing up?? i'm so scared its something sinister.
Its probably worth noting im 26, male.
Thank you in advance for any replies :)
