I've basically had heartburn for around 6 weeks, I've been to see my dr who gets my HA. I've posted on here several times to try and reassure myself , which I know I shouldn't do. My GP prescribed omeprazole and after a couple of weeks of not a huge improvement gave me zantac again not a huge improvement so told me to stop taking them and see what happens. I still get mild heartburn and a sour taste in my mouth although when I am so panicked like today it seems to be there constantly.
I'm of course sure that I have stomach cancer and yes I goggled the symptons and heartburn was one of them. I've also lost about 9lbs in these 6 weeks but again my dr wasn't concerned in the slightest and said I was bound to as I've been watching what I eat and really have to force myself to eat as I have no appetite. I weighed myself this morning hoping to have gained some as I have been eating slighty more but I've lost another pound. I'm beside myself with worry
So sorry for the long post I just don't know who to talk to and I can't ring my dr until Monday and then I probably won't get an appointment for another 2/3 weeks. I don't know how to stop this awful cycle I'm in. I've been reading HA books and trying to take on board some of the strategies they use but it's only made me worse.
