Eipgastric tenderness wont go away
Posted , 10 users are following.
My doc a few months ago thought I had a stomach ulcer, went on dexilant for a month, helped, but didnt' 100% go away... went to a GI who sent me for a complete abdominal ultrasond...
Aorta - normal
IVC - normal
Pancreas - normal
Liver - Normal
Gallblader - Normal
Kidneys - Normal
also had complete metabolic profiles done twice and came back normal
had Lipase done came back normal
in the past i had a gnawing pain in my stomach that went away with eating, now that is gone but it's still tender when you push right below the middle upper abdomen where the sternum stops... and only at that point
if i bend down i can feel the tenderness or if i streach backwards i also do.
I have a EDG schedules for next week, but what could this be? still an ulcer that hasn't healed? The ulcer was never confirmed, only thought to be by my PCP.. The GI called it stress induced reflux without any real exam... seems like an odd location to be reflux..

Sounds like trapped gas. Drink more and more water and try out garlic and tamarine it's a natural treatment for reflux.

not having any chest pains, and no real signs of reflux, even being on PPI's changed nothing besides made the gnawing stomach pain go away

Perhaps ask for an endoscopy which would show whether or not you have an ulcer.

Did you have an endoscopy with ultrasound? This should give more clarity to what's going on. What about a cat scan with contrast? Get a doctor that's going to run tests and not just ask you what are your symptoms. Make them work.They are quick to say STRESS because it's easier than doing exams.

Well the EDG gave a diagnosis of gastritis wihout bleeding and duodeitis without bleeding... apparently the duoeduen is really inflamed.. not sure if i initially had an ulcer not as that started 5 months ago, but this is what is left now apparently...
I've been randomly getting really dizzy, blood pressure is normal when this happens, i saw some articles saying duodenitis can make you dizzy, anyone know why? anything you can do to stop that?
