Hi everyone
It's been a while since I posted on here. Ill try and keep this straight to the point.
So, around 4 years ago, I got heartburn which I was put on PPI's for, I'm still taking them every day as they are needed otherwise I get flame thrower heart burn and its awful, regardless of diet. I have had two endoscopies, first one was clear around 3 years ago and the 2nd one shown some very mild gastritis of the stomach, that was around months ago.
I wake every day thinking about my heartburn and trying to figure out when is the gastritis going to turn into an ulcer and then, when is that ulcer going to kill me. All I think about now is death, and this ulcer that im waiting on. It's went from nothing to gastritis while on PPIs so, its seems to make sese to imagine it will progress again, at least in my mind it does.
I just keep thinking my heartburn is getting worse and that I tune into everything and then read that PPI's are linked to heart attacks and that just makes me panic even more as I cant seem to come off them. octors say ive to just keep taking them.
I cant seem to get rid of this thought ... waiting on something bad to happen and ive just moved into a new home with my fiance and want to enjoy it but all i can think about is death and how im going to leave her behind .. im only 27 and its getting me so depressed.
Any words of advice?
I just want to enjoy life.
Thanks.
