Ok....Even as i type this I know its unlikely to be cancer but there is always a what if? That's what health anxiety does right? Anyway I wanted to air my worries nonetheless even if they may be unrealistic.
Just over a month ago I had acid reflux that wouldn't go away. I've had reflux before so no stress there. Eventually went to the doctor and he gave me Lansoprazole 30mg for 4 weeks. I then caught a strange virus which seemed to exacerbate the reflux. Had awful bloating which I've never had and wondered if it was the virus or side effect of the tablets. During all this I tried some Apple Cider Vinegar which tasted foul but considerably eased the reflux. Bloating continued with nausea and loss of appetite. Then my wife recommended anti yeast tablets which amazingly in my mind at least got rid of the bloat. Now I'm left with nausea and no appetite. I'm also awaiting blood test results for H Pylori.
I suppose because I've never had these symptoms before and they aren't going away I'm worried it could be the big C. Despite the fact my stools are fine, no vomiting and no loss of weight. Has anyone had symptoms like these and can offer some advice? I'm finding it all quite depressing!
