You are not going to die. H.pylori is tested on almost everyone at one time or another. Plus a CBC. They are just checking to make sure there is no reason for whatever issue you are having, less a low iron etc. Try not to worry they are very routine tests and you are not dying. Huge hugs.

has any one had full blood count and helicobacter pylori serology blood test done at the same time?

I've had helicobactor pylori twice. It's a tummy bug that responds to antibiotics. It can cause stomach acid, discomfort and small ulcers. It is absolutely nothing to worry about. Thousands of people have it and don't even know it. I know lots of people who have been tested positive for it. Please, try not to worry about it too much. It's a common tummy bug and can always be treated.

hi hon... i had the same bood tests done about week ago and like you i was in a right state with myself, thought there was something seriously wrong with me.... when i went to the dr for the results turned out i needed some iron tablets.... that blod test for the heli what ever its called is to see if there is a bug present that would sugest a stomach ulcer... i had one years ago... not at all serious... i did have an ulcer and took tablets for a week and then all clear... no problemo... please try not to worry... you will be fine.... x x

Dont worry hun, anxiety has given me loads of stomach problems. I have Gaviscon after all meals and before bed. I know it sounds simple but it helps. Ive been prescribed Omeprazole as rinitidin didnt help me much. x

[gypsywomen]

well you should be glad its gone so stay calm xx

[playeasy]

its the full blood count that panics me silly i know but thats me lol

i forgot to ask the doctor do i have to stop eatting and drinking at set time before the test?

[playeasy]

i like to ask one more thing if i could

since thursday night i had massive pain in my shoulder this pain go's from my shoulder to down round my breast area and it hurts when i move round with it or when i roll over in bed is it wind or have a pull something?

[gypsywomen]
