I have suffered from acid reflux issues in the past, but three weeks ago I started having multiple symptoms like terrible anxiety, upper abdominal discomfort, headaches, loss of appetite, nausea, fogginess, dizziness and a weird taste in my mouth.
I went to the hospital a week ago and the doctor recommended that they conduct a series of tests: Urine + Stool + Kidney & Liver function. The results came negative for Malaria, H.Pylori and the liver and kidney functions were fine. He did notice an elevated number of field epithelial cells in the urine microscopy. He proceeded to prescribe a PPI (PantoDenk 80mg) + Antacid and antibiotics for the infection (Levobact 750mg for 10 days).
I have been taking the medication and my symptoms feel like they have worsened plus I have back pains and my hands and legs feel weak. Kindly advise on what I should do, thank you.
Hi!!
this is exactly what I’m going through. About 2 months ago, my acid reflux went crazy and I have SO many symptoms now.
I get this upper abdominal discomfort which doesn’t cause much pain but feels really heavy and weird. I’ve been burping a lot, occasional heartburn and morning headaches as well. The pain sometimes radiates down to my lower stomach and left side of abdomen too. Used to have pain in my back but that’s better now. I had lost my appetite about a month ago and lost weight.
My anxiety went through the roof because of this and I think that in your case, the weak hands and legs can be due to anxiety because I used to have trembling legs in the beginning and it was my anxiety.
I’ve been diagnosed with GERD and I’m on PPI’s and laxatives. My doc recommended a lot of lifestyle changes since they’re important to heal the stomach-lining and cure the acid reflux.
Try visiting your GP and get some tests done just to rule out anything else.
Also, feel free to ask me about it!!
