chronic dyspepsia - share exp
Posted , 2 users are following.
I was experiencing excrutiating pain in stomach and upper back after taking ibroprofen sort of a gripping experience. my dr presribed 40mg daily of omeprozol. At first it helped the symptoms only to find the next day i am back to square one as above and it kind of repeats this cycle.
I have a spell where it is normal for a few days and I have renewed hope only to wake up the next day as tho' it was the start of the pain all over again.
I have had the scope and scans and they have diagnosed chronic dyspepsia. The night is worse waking 4/5 times a night to swallow gaviscon. I dont have reflux just that gnawing pain.
Eating does sometimes help but not always and it is really affecting my quality of life.
Can anybody share a similar exp of offer any advice on managing this?
Has anyone tried a differnt sort of medication?

Many years ago my father crushed a disk in his back and (undiagnosed) was told to take 2 200mg ibroprofens when in pain.....
After 7 doses in less than 12 hours (yes i know its stupid but he had taken 14 200mg ibroprofens in 12 hours.... but the tablets said on the box from the pharmacy as per the docotrs note take 2 when in pain - this was the late 80's early 90's....) he was rushed to hospital and diagnosed with a severe stomach ulser (known side effect of ibroprofen)...
Maybe worth going back to the doctor and getting them to look at your issue in a bit more detail m russell as ibroprofen can do really nasty things to the stomach especially if not taken with food....

Only use paracetemol, see if that helps.
