I just finished my two weeks triple antibiotic course for the H Pylori and I just want to tell you no matter what happens finish it and don’t leave it. I suffered a lot but now at least I can eat normally it troubled me for weeks before I finally got tested and found +ve for it. The side effects of the medication might be hard I had mood swings and got depressed a little bit also I had some mouth problems due to amoxallinin but it all went away after a couple weeks after I finished the course without needing any medication.
Be sure to complete the whole treatment regime for H. pylori, even if you will experience nausea or other discomfort from antibiotics.
If your breathlesness and heart rate epizodes are not different as ones you know from the past, then I wouldn't worry.
Hi, I've just been tested positive for this and was being treated for gerd prior, howevery, was really getting worse prior as I would end up in hospital as I had a hard time breathing because of pressure in chest. I just started my medication yesterday for the H. Pylori, however, a few days prior to being diagnosed, had a couple of anxiety attacks because of my breathing as I felt each time that I needed to take deep breaths or even if I do very little physically, seem I have to take deep breaths every minute or so and then notice my heart raising regardless of where I am or what I may thinking about. Just two weeks ago I was working out and running almost every day, however, has since stopped as my heart rates takes quite a while to come down. I had gone for a stress test the other day and couldn't finish as I felt I couldn't get enough air and had to stop, my heart took quite a while to come back down. During the stress test it wasn't known then that I had tested positive for H. Pylori, therefore assumed it was from stress. Anyway, this is only my second day on meds for H. Pylori and still find my heart rate going up when doing minor things after noticing myself taking deep breaths.
hi, first follow borons advise and get tested for h-pylori infection, a bug that lives in your stomach linning and causes ulcers, which in turn becomes gerd (acid reflux) if you do have gerd and continue to smoke, you will aggravate your situation, ill explain, when you take a puff of your cigarette, the smoke not only enters your lungs but also your esaphagus and when that happens your spincter or doorway to your stomach opens and closes everytime, this tells your body that your consuming food and your body starts to produce acid, so think about how many times it opens and closes after each puff, so quitting smoking will substantially help you. you would be amazed how many related illnesses are from gerd,i;e anxiety, panic attacks which in reality are acid attacks,and hypertension is sometimes related, when acid is produced your heart rate increases. secondly you should check for gluten intolerance and lactose intolerance which does produce gas hence your belching. good luck.
When you say belching, you mean burping, or maybe bloating?
Burping is often due to H. pylori infection of stomach. This is very likely in your case, since Protonix helped your pain - which is from acid, bur not burping, which is from gas produced by H. pylori bacteria. Have a breath test, if positive, you get antibiotics for H. pylori.
Beer contains maltose, and when bacteria ingest it, produce a lot of gas. The same, in lesser extent, may happen with other alcohol, and also with sugar.
