Any Suggestion For Headache, Loss Of Appetite, Fatigue And Chest Pain With EDS, POTS, PFO, Controlled Asthma?

my 18 yr old daughter has EDS, POTS, a PFO, well controlled asthma and recently has had an increase in headaches, loss of appetite, fatigue, and chest pains. She is worried about the loss of appetite, the increase in chest pains and headaches. She has had a chest x-ray recently and it looked normal. her brain MRI (for possible TIA) looked normal. Any suggestions?

Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Her symptoms seems to be caused by acid reflux disease (GERD) which is very common with asthma. With this issue she may have chest burning, nausea, loss of appetite.
Other stomach issues like peptic ulcer, stomach inflammation are also possible.

That is why I suggest your daughter to consult gastroenterologist and consider gastroscopy.
In a meanwhile she should avoid fatty foods, spicy foods, alcohol, coffee, chocolate.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
