Newly diagnosed with GORD and worried

Posted , 3 users are following.

I have been feeling nausea and what i thought was painful heartburn for a few weeks now, stomach pain was also affecting me. My diet hasn't been the best recently so i attributed it to that but after trying to eat better the symptoms continued, so much so i feel sick after every meal, if i don't eat then i still get stomach pain and feel hungry!

Its starting to affect my mood so i went to the doctors who have diagnosed me with the G O R D, which is all very scary. I have been put on tablets but i want to know if the sick feeling after i eat will get better! the thought of going through Christmas feeling like this makes me want to cry!! Any advice or guidance would be great??

Thanks

    Hi there, I was diagnosed worth GORD about 10 years ago. I watch what I eat and drink in addition to taking medicine. You will learn by trial and error what the triggers are. Don't be scared. It is extraordinarily common. Stop worrying and enjoy Christmas. Your medication will take a few days to "kick in".
