I know I posted recently about this but I was googling for my partner and came across something that worried me.
I am so scared I have a stomach ulcer or something worse,back in 2013 I tested positive for hplyori and took the treatment. Since then I've been on ompazole as I've had problems with heartburn and indigestion.
Recently I had a blood test which said I was low on iron so I'm taking iron supplements that are improving my iron.
Now the symptoms of an ulcer are
Stomach pain- yes I get this- doctors says ibs
Weight loss- I'm currently loosing weight fast- doctor says anxiety/worry
Heartburn/indigestion - been getting this for 3 years on omparazole and gaviscon
Low iron- I'm low no serverly low doctor says due to periods
As you can see I'm terrified I have one. The doctor did a hplyori test recently which was negative and left it there but I keep thinking that ulcers don't always show hplyori.
I'm also worried the omeprazole is just prolonging the symptoms
I've been to the doctors numerous times and they don't feel worried,met I'm ticking all th boxes! :(
