Inflamed ulcer ?
Posted , 7 users are following.
Hi guys ,
Had an endoscopy last week, I was diagnosed with an Esophageal ulcer that has a 5ml inflamed nodle, biopsies came back fine. A hiatus hernia and mild gastritis. The ulcer is due to the hiatus hernia.
I had no painful symptoms , mild change of bowel movements for a couple of years.
Doctors has put me on 80 mg omprezole a day, another endoscopy in 8 weeks.
Doctor said it was a nasty nasty ulcer and he’s surprised I was in regular bad pain
I was just wondering if anyone else has had something similar, and got their inflamed Esophageal ulcer under control?
All this because of nasty iboprofean, I was so ingnorant !

I wasn't diagnosed with an ulcer, but I was diagnosed with inflammation of the oesophagus and a hiatus hernia, last November, it's been a very difficult time and i got very down due to the symptoms, im on 40mg omeprazole, cetirazine, gaviscon. It's taking time but things are improving, i have cut out breads, spicy, citrus fruits, tea, coffee, garlic, alcohol, fizzy drinks, I go to the gym twice a week, yoga, swimming, but it's worth it, i find lots of exercise is really helping, I seem to be susceptible to lots of other lovely infections, my voice has been affected, try to remain positive.

Thanks for the reply. No other symptoms up until real recently , but even then nothing serious, odd chest pain, slight shortness of breath. I only went to the doctors because of hemmoroids . What’s up with you may I ask ?
