stomach

Avatar m tn This is not water retention, pregnancy, or PMS. However, I recently discovered through WebMD what a stomach ulcer is. I have been taking an excessive amount of Ibuprofen, as in like 7-8 popping them everyday/everyother day earlier this month when I would be sore. This is super bad, but is this the source of my discomfort? And if it is, what steps should I take. This is causing me sooooo much stress, please any responses would be highly appreciated!
Avatar m tn I have GI appointment at the end of the month. Is it possible to have a stomach ulcer for 6 months?
1752640 tn?1352767394 Gastritis is a more likely scenario. It might not be a bad idea to check with your doc and possibly ask for some testing. You may want to consider asking him to check for the presence of H. pylori, the bacteria that is implicated in causing stomach issues and gastritis.
Avatar f tn pylori does cause symptoms, they are usually either symptoms of gastritis or peptic ulcer disease. The most common symptom of peptic ulcer disease is gnawing or burning abdominal pain, usually in the area just beneath the ribs. This pain typically gets worse when your stomach is empty and improves when you eat food, drink milk, or take an antacid." The antibiotics in the Prevpak can cause heartburn as well. I would still suggest giving it a bit more time...

526146 tn?1287442248 the pain is central in the stomach and above the belly button. The meds Im on are actually for an ulcer or excess acid and do help when taken - its a horrid pain!
Avatar m tn I woke up later that night at about 2am with severe stomach pain. The pain has become mild andcomes and goes. Could I have an ulcer?
Avatar f tn Could I have an ulcer? I have stomach pain around my belly button and above - pain goes through to my back. Pain severe when I waken in the morning until I get up (strange) Pain is worse when I am lying down. When I eat, the pain goes away for a couple of hours, then comes back.
8742761 tn?1399611857 At first I thought this was just heart burn but I haven't slept in 3 days bc my stomach feels like its burning or just pain and its not just my upper stomach its all over. I'm 33weeks tomorrow first time mommy and starting to get worried someone please help tell me if this is normal.
Avatar f tn The reason stomach acid does not destroy your stomach is because your stomach is lined with mucus membranes. Stomach acid is not like the advertisements that show the acid in a container and a TUMS is added to the container and the acid is neutralized. Your stomach has acid pumps that spew acid whenever food or liquid is added in your stomach. I do not know how many acid pumps there are in a human's stomach, but enough to attack whatever is added to your stomach for digestion purposes.
2045555 tn?1330079620 I have this problem in my stomach.My stomach burns and Pains very much but I don't diarrhea and sometimes I feel powerless , my muscles shaking and over sweating. I go through high temperature rate than my normal temperature. Please Help me could this be the signs of HIV/AIDS in my body ? or its just some kind of pain ?
Avatar n tn During the treatment, I began have mild queasiness and aching in my epigastric area (many areas) I developed an angry vaginal yeast infection. I treated that, and began probiotics right away. By then my stomach was very painful and churning burning ALL the time. The foods I was eating regularly started making me feel like vomiting. Like potatoes, then beef, then chicken, cauliflower etc etc It' s as though I was/am still getting allergic to all these foods.
Avatar f tn Basically long story short I've had what my doctor believes is a stomach ulcer since last December, I've taken PPIs since then and the awful pain has returned all day today. It was really bad when I woke up so I took my tablet and ate it went away, but it's been coming and going. I haven't had much of an apetite all day and now after eating a pizza it's really bad.
Avatar m tn You can look this up on the web. I just googled and look at WEBMD. According to that site, if it you take too much long term, it can have affects like, constipation, upset stomach and kidney stones. I don't see anything about taking it for a short term. If you are concerned, make sure you drink plenty of water. WEBMD suggests 2000IU per day for an adult.

Avatar m tn Do you have a family history of duodenal ulcer. Duodenal ulcer can also be caused by alcohol, nicotine,caffeine,tobacco, taking NSAID's aspirin, brufen e.t.c. The most common cause is the infection with H.Pylori. Does the pain cause you to wake up in the midnight. About fifty percent of patients with duodenal ulcers awake during the night with pain, usually between midnight and three a.m. Duodenal ulcers respond well to treatment, so relax and get yourself checked.
Avatar n tn mild pain in the upper left side of the stomach down to the side. Worse after i take spiced food. What is it?
Avatar n tn Ibuprofen may cause strong gastritis, even ulcer. Any acid, which comes into contact with an ulcer, causes pain. Wine is basically an acid. To make an exact diagnosis (gastritis or ulcer...), gastroscopy would be needed - this was already done? Pepto-Bismol releaves your pain? Interesting. When you say pain in the stomach - you mean exactly stomach - or entire abdomen?
