Dont know where to start really but have been going to docs for 3 months now re these stomach pains, have had loads of blood test which always show high inflamation markers, have had an ultra sound scan no probs there, had camera down throat a few weeks back which showed an inflamed duodenum, had loads of different pills which dont work, anyway the pain went for a couple of weeks but were replaced by severe headaches, dizzyness and short of breath almost blacking out when I made any effort for which I went to docs about last thursday morn he checked me out blood pressure etc but could find nought,(I have an apointment to see a stomach specialist on the 26th of Nov) he signed me off work for 2 weeks but that very eve the stomach pains have returned with a vengeance and have been in agony since, forgot to mention this all started with a visit to docs for severe migranes..........which have gone now but I had to stop taking the migrane pills as they were making my stomach hurt?
Has anyone had the same problems?
Chris
Not had the same thing, I'm glad to say - it must be very frustrating that you've done all the tests and still no nearer a solution. Two things strike me:
Were you on any medication when you had the newer symptoms you mention?
From my own experience it seems that inflammation of the oesophagus can cause you to feel pain elsewhere. The consultant told me it was the brain playing tricks.
Hi Phil, no had stopped takin any pills up till earlier when I spoke to out of hours Doc who said I should double the dose of Omeprazole which I have to 40mg per day.and keep shoving paracetamols down my throat..................I just want the cause diagnosed and sorted not keep popping pills!!!
Chris
Second the paracetemol doubts. Have you tried lansoprazole? I was on omeprazole first and found it completely useless. The doc then switched me to lansoprazole (after diagnosis) and told me to take 60 mg for 10 days to 'knock it on the head' then revert to 30 mg. Very successful and I now take, on average, 15 mg every two or thee days. Can't really remember the abdominal pain I used to get, happily, but it was very bad.
What helps me a lot, and I was very dubious when it was suggested, is the juice of a lemon in water first thing every day. Worth a try? I can't see it can do any harm.

Phil - I'm on lansoprazole too, and it seem s to do the trick. I used to get loads of heart burn and acid build up, now I don't. I also has an internal bleed a few years ago and now take 1 15mg tab a day.
So Chris, I would ask your doc about the lansoprazole option. Mind you, they should no best shouldn't they.
PM Mrs W I think she is still in France still.
She is very good and I owe her so much as she told me to get a second opinion and she was so right.
A trapped Ulmer Nerve (as i was told) was really Mesothelioma.

Re paracetamol, I had a long chat with the nurse on the NHS helpline , I told her that the only thing which seemed to work were Ibuprufin which my doc said was like battery acid for stomachs and only use Paracetamol the nurse confirmed that paracetamol was the only pain killer that was ok for stomachs.
