Hi

I have been feeling nauseous for about one month, my stomach is tender just under the sternum and I feel hungry all the time, my stomach is making lots of noise also. I went to my doctor a week ago and he gave me omeprazole 20mg once a day and said my stomach sounded very active. I also had to provide a stool for H pylori and this has come back negative.

The tablets worked well for the first week, however now on day 8 of the treatment the nausea and stomach pain is back. I also have a problem with recurring hemorrids, have had two operations to band them in the last 8 months and they started to flare up yesterday and my stomach problems started again last night, but are uncontrollable today.

Can anyone shed some light on my problems? I am worried about them, I am 30 female and up until recently I was working out 5 times a week, walking miles everyday and just lately I don’t have the same energy levels. I am also a strict vegetarian and I don’t drink alcohol (always had heartburn after touching a drop) and I drink plenty of water.

Any advice would be good, thanks in advance.

Sorry you're having such problems but I can definately relate.

I am a 37 year old very healthy mom of 4. I have always had a sensitive stomach but 2 year ago I started having mild stomach pains, upset stomachs, headaches, dizziness, chest discomfort and shakiness. My PCP suggested it was anxiety. I joined a gym to relieve stress since I didn't want to take meds. It helped but a few months later it came back. That happened on and off for about 1 1/2 years. This past Dec I had BAD chest discomfort and pressure in the top of my stomach, along with bad nausea. Then my dr suggested it was acid reflux and tried me on Aciphex. After 1 month, I was feeling bad again. He tried Protonix and Nexium. Neither worked at all. They did an ultrasound, upper GI and finally a HIDA scan for the gallbladder. That showed my EFR was only 16% and said I need it to come out. I just had it taken out 1 week ago today, so it's too early to tell whether it's worked or not. I just wanted to add my story and to say that I also had very loud sounds coming from my stomach, as well as losing weight. My neighbor actually thought I was anorexic.:rolleyes:

Good luck finding a cause

hi

thanks for the reply.

I am putting weight on as I have to keep eating when my stomach is feeling bad.

I am dreading going back to the hospital, I imagine I will get the same team that tried to fix my piles, and I was a nightmare. I suppose they could try and fix both ends for me whilst I am there!

I am going tp keep working out, even though I don't feel like it and I have been having massages and stuff to help me relax, but nothing is helping.

Hope you feel better soon

You're better then me when it comes to working out. Between feeling very sick and having 4 kids, I pretty much stopped going to the gym all together. I actualyl froze my membership until September, which means I don't have to pay until I come back but I won't have to pay any new fees. That gives me all summer to recover from the surgery AND summer vacation for the kids.

I had the exact feeling of beng hungry all the time but I felt sick. If you've ever been pregnant, it was the same feeling as morning sickness to me. I was a lot worse if I was really hungry. I had to force myself to eat b/c I knew I would feel better afterwards.

Good luck.
