Worried I have Stomach Cancer

Do you drink Alcohol?

Stomach cancer is extremely rare in young people. How are your bowel movements?

Hi, sounds very much to me like non ulcer dyspepsia combined with visceral hypersensitivity. I'd say go and see your Dr if it carries on and ask for an Endoscopy. Endoscopy isnt that bad really and is over in about 2 minutes. They can have a look inside and reassure you if all is well (which I would imagine it will at your young age)

I had similar symptoms, mine was constant belching and acid feeling . Got the endoscopy. Biopsy, catscan and turns out I have/had gastritis no h pylori. Mine was due to alcohol I think. Doctor said I had an ulcer that looked as it already healed too . Prilosec took almost 2 months to work for me .

Do you have bowel habit changes or any shifting stomach pain?  If so it may be IBS.  Heartburn is also a symptom.  Pain can get better after a bowel movement. I was diagnosed with it last May after three and a half months of pain, bowel habit changes, nausea, back pain and panic.

Try keeping a food diary.  Common intolerances are dairy, gluten and fructose. Perhaps cut these out of your diet to see if you feel better.  Ask for an h pylori test which can be done with a blood test, breath analysis, stool test and endoscopy.  An endoscopy can also pick up gastritis.  Heartburn and indigestion can also be brought on by anxiety.  Worry can make your symptoms worse.

Consider celiac,  You will have to continue to eat gluten before having this test.  There could be many other causes for your symptoms that are not sinister.

Hi matthew71385
