OK so, against my better judgement, I've developed some health issue and wanted to see if anyone else has gone through this in the hope you can help... First thing on Monday it felt like I had heartburn when I ate, so I started taking Gaviscon. Anyway, it got worse and worse. On Tuesday morning I got some Omeprazole (20mg). Throughout the day, a burning sensation in my stomach became a constant. In the evening, it got a lot worse, and got combined with a very bad headache. We called 111, they wanted to send an ambulance, but went to A&E on our own steam, they did an ECG which was all normal. They prescribed Lansoprazole 30mg and Dihydrocodeine 30mg. I saw my GP yesterday, and he ruled out e.g. stomach perforation or ulcer. He thought it oesophagitis, though pointed out that just meant my oesophagus was inflamed for an unknown reason. He did say he'd never come across such a severe case before and found that curious but didn't think necessarily meant cause for an alarm. But despite being on treatment, I had the worst night last night - thanks to severe burning pain in my stomach. I haven't had a meal since Tuesday afternoon, and eating even tiny amounts of food sets off hideous levels of stomach burning. Drinking water is a struggle - I can only get away with sipping, otherwise, again, it's unbelievably painful. I don't have any other symptoms at all. I don't feel nauseous in the slightest. I actually feel hungry and would love to eat a proper meal. My energy levels are pretty good given the circumstances. So basically what the fuck is going on here? I'm actually now clinging on to a Gaviscon allergy - that I did have mild heartburn and I've been drinking poison without realising it, and if I stop taking it, things will go back to normal. When I take it - e.g. before going to bed last night - it burned badly and seemed to set off the severe pain. But I don't know if that's just because anything I ingest sets it off. Sorry to throw this at you but I'm obviously a bit fed up about it all and would love to find out if anyone else has gone through this or there's any pointers...
