| Horribly acidic nausea , sleep interruption and heartburn, please help !
Hello I am new to this forum and just wanted some opinions before I head off to the doctor (and get told its viral, and to go home and rest )
This started 2 weeks ago, I had horrific heartburn , at first I assumed it was just a poor diet , mixed with some new medication I had been on (doxycycline ) as well as tremendous stress .i have since stopped the medication .
I have had little to no appetite, and a revolting taste in my mouth , bad breath also .
5 days ago now out of nowhere I suddenly went warm, and felt like I was going be vomit , I wasn't sick but I definitely felt something had suddenly changed, I can't entirely describe it but just an off feeling .
The next day I did have 1 bout of diarrhoea , but that was it . Since ,I am waking hot several times a night with crippling nausea and an urge to go to r toilet, which turns out to be nothing but pain.
I will sometimes feel fine, but then it hits again all of a sudden .
It is incredibly draining, I am a mother , so I don't even get the luxury of resting on the couch .
We did have a family stomach bug that did the rounds nearly a month ago now, and I would be besides myself if it happens again !
I am incredibly stressed and diagnosed with anxiety, my anxiety has been through the roof lately, both due to my health and other reasons .
Basically, has anyone had this and it turned out NOT to be a virus ? I'm just expecting the doctor to tell me "yes there are nasty bugs going around at the minute "
Could it be a manifestation of my stress ?
