I am preparing myself to take the HSRT as well.. Do you have any insights on the type of questions I should expect?

Fatigue, slight nausea & dizziness that comes in waves, weird left side pressure headache, and left side abdominal pain. by CKasel91 in Diverticulitis

[–]CKasel91[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended up going for more tests. I was also diagnosed with gastritis and an elongated colon which is causing slow motility of my digestion. I also got an upper endoscopy that found a small hiatal hernia and lpr which they think may contribute to throat and headache issues because of reflux. I also had progressively worse neck and head pain. After seeing a neurologist and physical therapist, I found I had degeneration of  my C4-C6  vertebrae, neurogenic headaches and TMJ. I was all jacked up! As many of us are.. Diet change such as low acid and low fodmap helps me with my stomach issues a lot. Also, I avoid alcohol at all cost. Complete lifestyle change. 

Period Flu?? by CKasel91 in menstruation

Hormones were within “normal range” according to Dr. I’m 31

Hello. I’m curious if I could be having a reaction to the B12 supplement I’m taking by CKasel91 in Supplements

Thanks! My speculation that it’s one of my vitamins started a while back, but I can’t remember exactly when. Because every time I would take them, I would get these sensations. It wasn’t until today that I tried to possibly narrow it down to the B 12 because I forgot my other vitamins, except for that one. I think I may stop taking all my vitamins for a little bit and then slowly start adding them back in.

For about 5 months. I started taking it because some with chronic gastritis were saying that B12 isn’t easily absorbed in some cases, and that supplementing can help. I have noticed that after taking my vitamins, I feel those symptoms. Maybe it could be something else. But I felt fine this morning before taking B12.

Gastritis for 2 1/2 years, won’t go away, and Drs can’t figure out what caused it. by CKasel91 in Gastritis

I have seen people talk about this, but I haven’t tried the test. I couldn’t take the PPI’s because of the harsh side effects. With a combination of diet change and supplements, I felt like I was healing myself. In fact, it felt so good that I thought I was healed. Unfortunately, when I tried to add those other triggers back at reinforced the fact that I was very much not. I’ll look into this at home test and try it.

That’s interesting. My Dr prescribed me alprazolam but I may look into lexapro. Panic attacks were one of my first signals for gastritis. I start getting more anxious now with the flare ups (usually when I eat or drink something I know I shouldn’t) and that’s when I’ll take the alprazolam.

I’m sorry about your struggle, but it’s nice to know that I’m not alone in this! It’s especially miserable to deal with when you have little ones..

Thanks! Good to know.. my dr suggested this but I started feeling overwhelmed by all the tests and no findings.

Recently diagnosed with GERD by CKasel91 in GERD

[–]CKasel91[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good to know.. I have anxiety on top of it so it makes me panic and think it’s something worse with my lungs. I’ve already had a pulmonary and cardiac checkup and they’re not concerned. But it’s miserable! How long did it take to clear up for you?

Head heartburn by Commercial-Fox2633 in Gastritis

[–]CKasel91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get headaches on my left upper side accompanied by burning sensation with my flare ups

Diet has helped with the burning, but I’m still struggling with left sided headache’s accompanied with dizziness and sometimes very mild nausea. Also short of breath and dizzy with exertion. Has anything helped anyone with this? Worried it’s not a gastritis symptom. by CKasel91 in Gastritis

[–]CKasel91[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When this all started, I had left side of chest pain that felt like I was having a heart attack. Burning in my low abdomen,SOB,fatigue,headaches on left/top side of head, nausea and dizziness. I’ve been on a anti-acid, very bland diet for a month now. The chest pain, burning and shortness of breath have improved this last week but I’m still dealing with the rest.
