POSTMENOPAUSE. DESPERATE

Posted , 13 users are following.

Hi ladies

im sure a lot of you know me ive been on this forum for the last 12 years

Had 10 year peri hell and im now 2 years post

I am so terrified right now my digestive issues are back with a vengeance

I do suffer with acid reflux but the bloating and nausea had got to the point that every time i eat i feel like im gonna throw up

Im not actually sick but my stomach literally feels like its being pushed up into my throat

My old faithfull friend the breathlessness is back that plagued me in peri

My anxiety is killing me right now as i cant get my mind off my stomach

I do have to say i had a CT scan with contrast dye six weeks ago as i have yearly check ups with my gastro consultant and everything is ok nothing abnormal found?

So why am i constantly feeling sick and bloated and just like im dying!!!

I really thought i would be starting to feel better by now

Im slowly giving up hope!!!

my gastro says to take lansaprazole but due to my anxiety im even scared to do that

All recent bloods are normal to but i feel like i have a golf ball sitting in the top of my stomach

Ct scan says otherwise

Help ladies what do i do so tired x
