Right sorry for all the questions guys, but being new to the group i suppose im just looking too see if other people are experiencing the same things as me. I was diagnosed with gastritis last week and put on lansaprozole 30mg twice a day for the next 6-8weeks. Im having a funny head, not pain, more like not feeling in control of it and like motion sickness feeling and feeling like my ears are needing to pop. Anyone else had the same? im scared incase its something else

    Hi Colleen, that would be suggestive of the gastritis being involved, or maybe, given how awful and shocking gastritis is, a severe increase in your anxiety at that time. I actually developed a dizziness upon standing up because, unknown to me, my vitamin D level had fallen dangerously low through limited foods as I wrestled with gastritis over two years to find a diet that helped instead of making it worse. Once the D level was raised again, the dizziness eased.

    Achalasia (or cardiospasm) is a comparatively rare condition whereby the Lower Oesophageal Sphincter may not open properly for food to move into the stomach. We do not know why this develops in some people. It is probably due to damage to nerves in the wall of the oesophagus perhaps caused by a virus in early life.
