Sympthoms after treatment, how long should it last?
Posted: Tue Jul 23, 2019 10:49 pm
Dear All,
I am from Hungary, so sorry for my poor english. I need some help... My doc not really cares for my illness.
My story:
27 years old athletic male, 182 cm/82 kgs
Nearly 2 months ago, after a rowing workout I started feel a strange, mild, dull, pressure pain exactly at my epigastrium. I thought it must be some muscle injury, so I stopped working out. After like 1 week, the pain still was there. Not unbearable, but very frustrating. I went to doc. He said it must be some muscle injury, rest and ice it... Okay, 2 other weeks past, the pain was still there and a new sympthom appeared: not often, but sometimes I felt some acid in my throat - and that time the pain from my epigastrium disappeared almost completly.
Back to doc. He sent me to UBT. No wonder -POSITIVE. Started the treatment ( clarythromicyn, amoxicillin, ezomeprazole for 14 days). It vas horrible. Lack of energy, lack of sleep, high heart rate, ventricular extrasystoles, anxiety... but I finished the treatment last friday. Fortunatelly the side effect almost went, some extrabeats left, but I hope it will be completly over in a while. I lost like 10 kgs in this 2 months.
However my first and main sympthom ( epigastrial dull, pain, thightness) is still presents and it is worse I think. Now my stomach started to burn like hell, sometimes behind sternum as well. Went back to doc, he does not really care, sent me to x-ray and endoscopy (still in progress)
I am very disappointed and desperate. I thought it should be better after treatment, but it got worse. What do you think, how long will it last? What should I do? I really want to live my life again.
Thank you for your help, I really need it!
Peter
