I Started Having Some Pain In Lower Left Abdomen (at
Gastritis and anxiety are causing the symptoms.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
I think the symptoms you are experiencing may be related to gastritis, inflammation of stomach lining.
The symptoms you had on 27th of November may also have been related to gastritis and probably the drink you had may have made it better probably due to its antiacid effects.
Usually the antiacids give constipation and it is possibly the cause you are having it.
The pain and burning you are having in stomach may have caused the blood pressure and heart rate to be increased. This may have contributed to anxiety also.
I believe the discomfort and pain you are having now in the arm and chest may be related to anxiety and increased heart rate. I believe atenolol may help you to normalise the heart rate and anxiety.
You should take antiacids to treat your gastritis.
I believe you better take omeprazole than over the counter antiacids which can cause constipation.
Better talk to your gastroenterologist for gastritis treatment since you have a long history of gastritis, ulcera and hpylori.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Already today I have had diarrhea twice and a small bowel movement this morning. Will the stool softener cause diarrhea? I think I will lighten up on taking them for a couple of days as this is worrying me. Also will gastritis cause you to feel bloated and cause you have less of an appetite?
Get less laxatives.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
Laxatives may have caused diarrhoea and you may need to take less or stop it.
Gastritis can cause bloating and less appetite.
