Hi All,
I have been unable to eat much for 48 hours now due to a constant burning in my throat and my stomach.
I went to the doctor yesterday and he said it will be due to my high anxiety levels and prescribed me some meds (Lansoprazole), which I haven't taken yet.
Last night I started to feel a bit better so ate something small for the first time, and I remained 'OK' for an hour or so afterwards.
This morning I've woke up with the burning and bloating sensation again (but not quite as bad as before) with lots of gas and am convinced I'm just going to be destroying my oesophagus and wont ever get better so am stuck in a bit of a bad place.
The chance of a serious allergy or side effect from it scares me
Specifically Anaphylaxis and subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus
The second one my doctor didn't even know about.
I've also just realised the dose he has given me is the one they give you for Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, now I've gone and looked at all of the symptoms and have worried myself even more.
Has anyone had experience taking Lansoprazole?
Can anyone give me some advice? I've had enough of being scared of everything but just can't bring myself to take it.
One thing after another at the moment
