Hi all,
I have been having some symptoms lately that make me a little worried to say the least. I might as well start by saying that I'm absolutely no stranger to gastrointestinal issues. I take Zantac(150 mg) a day for acid reflux and I also had gallbladder surgery 3 weeks ago as of today officially. I have been healing well from my surgery. My incisions are healing great and the pain is pretty much gone that at the beginning of my recovery.
I have been having persistent nausea though and a lack of appetite for almost 2 weeks now. I had this before my gallbladder surgery as well. This nausea and lack of appetite too started to occur around my menstrual cycle before I had my surgery and it'd eventually disappear around ovulation time for me. I'm just concerned at this point and scared.
I've already went to the gastro doctor for an endoscopy. They found nothing at all besides a stomach polyp and that I have gastritis. This polyp was beningn and the doctor suspected it might be from me taking omeprazole previously. I have lost some weight too due to this. I'm 123 lbs. Used to be around 127-128ish. I feel depressed and drained.
I went to my doctor today because I thought I had a UTI. I have burning and pressure in my urethra after I pee and vaginal irritation. I ended up not having a UTI, but instead a yeast infection. So, that is good I suppose. I'd rather have that than a UTI. I spoke to my doctor about this and they had told me i t might not be bad to go back to the gastro doctor. I have been having some pain too in my upper back. It sits just underneath my rib cage on my left side and it's not like an 'oww!' pain. It's like a 'oh, this is uncomfortable' It feels like pressure. I don't know what this could be from. Could I have something out of place or could it be gastro related?
If anyone could offer advice, I'd appreciate it. I feel depressed and scared. I just want my life back and to feel better.
