I feel really nauseous daily at the moment.
I seem to burp a lot too, which is something I've never really done in the past (apart from during pregnancy!) I'm definitely not pregnant this time. I went to the doctor last week because I've been suffering with heartburn & sporadic diarrhoea for a few weeks. She referred me for a blood test for h pylori. Well, I went & had that on thursday, only to be told on friday that they had done a full blood count but NOT tested for h pylori! Apparently there was some confusion over the testing method & I need to do a stool sample instead! (Would have been nice to know that BEFORE the nurse butchered my arm, leaving a 1cm scratch & lovely bruise!) So I can't give a sample till monday & I'll have to wait longer for the results. In the meantime, my heartburn is not too bad, but this sickness feeling has suddenly presented and is getting me down.
I'm trying not to allow other sinister thoughts about other illnesses to creep in.... just wondered if anyone who has had helicobachter pylori could enlighten me on the symptoms they experienced? My brother in law had vomiting and bad stomach pains. I haven't been physically sick & I don't really have bad pain in my tummy, but the doctor knew that... so I guess it can be present without those things?
