Dear all,
First of all please apologise if you think I am over reacting.
Second of all, please apologise as there might be TMI.
I have been having a lot of bloating and belching for the last few weeks.
Infact I have been having bloating since 2001. It comes and goes, but its getting very frequent now.
I had to go to the A&E 2 weeks back because of the discomfort.
The GP mentioned about Endoscopy to rule out the big "C".
That triggered my panic.The GP put me on a course of Lanzoprazole.
It seemed to work for a week, but now the symptoms have come back.
I have a dull pain in the upper abdomen, and feel like a balloon is stuck there.
I feel hungry etc, eat food regularly. Toilet habits seem OK, even though I use the toilet often. The product itself is more liquidy, and mucousy (sorry about that).
I googled around for the earlier symptoms of stomach cancer, and there it is- all for me to see. Should I push the GP for an early endoscopy, or should I wait to complete the course of Lanzoprazole.
Just too worried..just too worried.
Sorry if I have offended anyone.
Thanks.
