Can those to associated with stomach problems too? And, regarding your comments about weight gain and distension. I thought I read one time, that highly compressed gas in the abdomen can cause weight gain too. Because as my stomach gets more distended, I'll gain around two pounds and the abdomen is hard, not sloshy from water. And my doc said it wasn’t water. Finally, if the stomach, why would I have symptoms, yet show nothing on the endoscopy?

It maybe something and if your weight is high, try to reduce it. I have found if I start to gain a few pounds my cough starts up and other issues of the past. Therefore, I try to keep it down. Sorry it is not an answer to your coughing but I pray it might help. Oh I to, am a libra.

Avoid too much of caffeine, tea, fried and spicy food and drinks both alcoholic and non alcoholic fuzzy ones. Avoid heavy exercises within 4 hours of a heavy meal. Raise the head end of the bed by pillows to 30 degrees. Go to bed at least 2 hours after food. For asthma like condition you would need to take inhalers and bronchodilators. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Please discuss this with your doctor. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted.

The swelling bothers me greatly and the weight gain. In spite of this, I had a normal chest x-ray in the ER and all my bloodwork was fine. The attending doctor was a PA who admitted he knew I have an ongoing problem but couldn't find it. The tests showed nothing and EKG normal. So what gives? I don't get it.

Severe anemia too causes water retention and weight gain. In women polycystic disease of the ovary too should be ruled out as it causes insulin resistance and fatigue. If you pass urine a lot and feeling very tired, diabetes and subclinical urinary tract infection should be ruled out. Other possibilities are hypothyroidism, anemia, chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, poor sleep patterns, inadequate sleep, low Vit b12, low iron, low calcium, sodium and potassium.

After a week with no alcohol or Tylenol it went up to 97 a weeks later 170. I then spotted omeprazole for 10 days and it was at 106. I just had a liver ultrasound and everything came back normal. What can the problem be? Can omeprazole cause this?

Other causes are hypothyroidism, cervical dysplasia, cervical polyps, cervicitis (infection/inflammation of cervix), vaginitis (infection/inflammation of vagina), cervical and uterine cancer, uterine fibroids, hormonal imbalance, use of blood thinners, genital ulcers, STDs and stress. Hypothyroidism and hormone imbalance should be ruled out first as you also have weight gain. As SurgiMenopause said, you can consult a endocrinologist. Pain in joints can be due to low Vit D.

I to have GP, severe, and also dumping syndrome. I have lost so much weight and am down 95#. My doctor put in a Nasal - J-tube to see if it would stabilize my weight. I can not eat much without vomiting, feeling bloated, and the pain. I take 1600 cal. through my tube an I have it running 24/7. For me it has been a godsend. My GI is now thinking about putting in a permanent tube, although it will be a difficult surgery. I take 4 domperidone a day but I notice it does increase my diarrhea.

I also have GERD and was taking Omeprazole before starting Harvoni. I dieted and lost more weight than may have been good, lost the fat around my middle and have been very careful what I eat, when I eat, and take tums when needed (not within 5 hours of taking the Harvoni). I think the weight in my middle squeezes the stomach. I was very worried about life without Omeprazole, but I am in week 5 of treatment and have been able to manage without it. The RIBA makes it worse.

No pain at all. The feeling subsided, and of course anxiety set in. Saw my GP, and cardiologist, and had a full cardio vascular workup, with no problems found. After that I looked up toxic bowel, and noticed some similarities, but no doctor has suggested anything about it. Thoughts and comments appreciated.

I don't want to play doctor here or anything, but I was in a similar situation for several years. My apartment got broken into, then I moved home, and then my house literally got hit by lightening. I started taking lexapro for the Post-Traumatic Stress. I'd always been a bit of a snacker and stress-eater, but I a burdensome amount of weight from it. I asked my doctor about other alternatives to the Lexapro, and she suggested Welbutrin.

When I was taking Prozac I didnt gain weight.Paxcel made me gain some though.

How long did it take people to gain weight, if any on Methimazole. I want to gain weight and nothing has happened. I've been on it for about a month now.

Hello. I am a 19 year old girl. I don't smoke or drink, I have fast metabolism though which causes me not to be able to gain weight, so i've always been eating a lot without really caring about what I eat. I don't work out, never have. I've never had any problems with my health. Since around September last year I have been suffering from what I suppose is heartburn or acid reflux.
