Hi Angel1964,
I am sorry to hear you unwell. I also have some of the symptoms you described but i have also been suffering with a terrible cough and cold. The pain in my stomach, like you said, feels like heart palpitations. I think it could be due to coughing too much and straining the muscle. Sometimes it feels like someone has punched me and I feel as if i have been winded. I have also tried to eat less wheat/gluten to help with the bloating and digestive problems (this may also help with congestion). I don't know if this is something you could try. I have also started a mood diary as i suffer from health anxiety and imagine all sorts when feeling unwell. I can look back and read it and if i have had the symptoms before I can then rationalise my fears and know I am going to be ok. I have picked up loads of advice from this forum and i hope it helps you too.

Hope you feel better soon.

Update ladies to some of my symptoms

Had my endoscopy and sigmoidoscopy today.  I've got gastritis, h-pylori,  hiatus hernia, polyps, duodenitis, got to wait for results of urease test?  whatever that is, and prolapsing piles. Now they want to do a colonoscopy to eradicate all and anymore polyps.  So at least nothing sinister

Thank goodness you have some answers! Do you yet know what sort of treatment you need? No wonder you felt terrible! X

Hi Birdy. I'm so relieved to have answers as thought I was losing the plot. Not yet got docs tomorrow to discuss it all. Yes no wonder been like it since December! Onwards and upwards now thank god xx

Hello Angel1964.

Thank you for the update and I'm so pleased that you have answers to your problems. You are fortunate to have a doctor who takes the time to be thorough.

May I ask how h-pylori was diagnosed? My GP mentioned the test to me a while ago but nothing was ever done.

Hopefully your appointment tomorrow will go well and do let us know how you get on.

Wishing you well.

Hi Kathleen I actually done a stool test and nothing showed. But yesterday having the tests they put on report CLO test positive so I googled it. But they also put Urease test awaiting result so I'm now confused. Seeing doctor tomorrow xx

Hello again Angel1964.

Thank you so much for your response. I'm not sure but I think the Urease test is a breath test but I could be wrong.

Thanks for the update and let us know how you get on with your appointment tomorrow.

Wishing you well.
