Stomach Issues
Posted , 2 users are following.
I am a 25 year old male with the following symptoms. I am five foot ten and weigh 296 pounds. doctors have given me pills for the heartburn but i am worried it may he something more serious. Should I worry or ask for any specific tests?
Heart burn
Phlegm every morning that requires a lot of time to clean out. And occasional phone that can be cleared quickly throughout day
Potential early satiety- I am less hungry then I used to be but I eat full meals still
Tightness in chest (same as heartburn)
IBS symptoms and I had a clean colonoscopy
Bad taste in mouth at night
Mixed cons. and diarrhea
Blood when wiping but I don’t know how to tell if it’s in my stool
Lighter than normal stools
Lower abdominal pain on and off
Feeling bloated/sick to stomach in morning after waking up
Sometimes quick shortness of breath after eating a lot comes and goes
Burping more often than I ever used to
Often have Fatigue throughout day even after waking on my own.
Do I have anything to worry about.

Hallo , worried man....yes i can see the reason why you are worried....which is quite natural...but reading what you have wrote...could have been myself....a long time ago....i.have an hiatus hernia....and GERD..... Which i.have now suffered from....for a very long time.....when i.was first diagnosed ....like you i.was put onto. nexium....i was fine on them for a while.....then i.started to.get most of the symptoms...you are suffering from....stomach pains....loose bowel....and yellow stools.
in fact i.felt awful....my Dr at the time...was very understanding......and quickly came to the conclusion..that i was allergic...to Nexium......i tried an other brand of the same type of drug....and still.got the same symptoms.....so he took me off them...straight away... and i was then put onto Zantac...which i.still take today...i was fine with that....and in time...all my symptoms settled down.....and went away.....lots of people have problems with nexium....i have a friend...who.developed a bad cough...when he was on them....he was a good while....before they came to the conclusion..it was the nexium causing it.....these type of drugs do not suite every one...sounds like you are one of them......do go.back to.see your Dr....explain your situation.....and your symptoms....and ask to.try Zantac...
.....i feel sure that once you change over....all your problems will.stop....its the way that pump inhibitors work on the body....which cause the problems.. With medications for acid reflux....its mostly trial and error...till.you.get one your body..will. take to.........do not worry about the Mucus you get up..each morning....if it is clear and sticky....your body makes this ...to protect your lungs....and throat......from being made sore...by the acid reflux....i have same problem...drink lots of water....through the day....and always keep.a glass of it...beside your bed....to keep.sipping.......chewing gum..through the day...the sugarless one....helps with this....but unless the mucus is green etc.....its just yourl body
trying to. Protect you.....from the acid reflux ....but do go.talk.to. your Dr....and explain your symptoms....hope fully he will.change your medication....and things will settle down....my Dr...recently told me to.take a dose of Gaviscon. At night which helps too...please try to. stay calm...i.know not easy......but when we get worried and upset....makes our acid problems worse....do.go.back.and see your Dr....about the nexium ..hopefully your problem...will be resolved......take good care....all the very Best...Shirley .
