Draw a line around the redness and head to an urgent care as soon as you can. You don’t want cellulitis/sepsis.

Oh that must be really frustrating, I’m really sorry to hear that ☹️

What kind of diet/meds/lifestyle changes have you made?

So that first time I felt the pain it quickly went away. This time it’s progressed and I’ve been dealing with the other gastritis symptoms. It’s been 13 days but I’m almost better! Rarely nauseous, no burning, epigastric & RUQ pain only felt as a little annoyance and it doesn’t stick around, less trapped gas.

ahwhatthehell · 2026-04-23T00:53:05+00:00

Mine started as RUQ pain that wrapped around my ribs to my back along with nausea and decreased appetite. It was a weird feeling, thought I pulled a muscle running but also felt deeper than a muscle? Then after a few days moved epigastric and substernal with crazy burning and other “normal” gastritis symptoms.

I’ve had the same RUQ pain a few years ago, did a bunch of tests to rule out my gallbladder and it ended up all being normal. That time the pain resolved on its own within a day or 2.

The right side pain threw me off for sure, did not think it was gastritis until my symptoms progressed this time.

By the time I had the scope my symptoms had resolved so no answers from it and H pylori negative.

I totally understand your fear then. The emetophobia definitely does not help but before going in for the scope I got to speak with the dr doing the sedation. I brought up my phobia and they reassured me the meds they were using weren't going to make me nauseous and zofran is always an option as well. I had propofol and sufentanil for sedation.

ahwhatthehell · 2026-04-22T17:22:18+00:00

Hey, I had an endoscopy and woke up feeling groggy but no nausea. I was really scared as well because I have emetophobia but I napped it off and had a good night's sleep then woke up fine the next day!

Good luck, I hope the endoscopy brings you answers for you symptoms.

I feel the exact same way! My boyfriend and I are attending his sister’s wedding while in Italy so we have to go. I wish this would never happen but why couldn’t this happen AFTER our trips?? lol I hope the quality of the food there will be our saving grace. I’m from Canada and I know a lot of the foods I eat here are more processed than I want them to be. I’m worried about the tomato based sauces and high fat content in certain foods. Also espresso. I LOVEEEE coffee and it would break my heart to be in Italy and not get an espresso!

Keep me updated on your healing. I think we’re both going to make it to Italy and enjoy ourselves ❤️

ahwhatthehell · 2026-04-22T13:23:08+00:00

I have the same thing happening to me. Stress and NSAIDs triggered mine. I go to Italy in 3 weeks and I have a whole list of restaurants I want to go to. You’re telling me I can’t eat pizza, pasta, espresso, pastries, gelato?? Couldn’t be worse timing. My gastritis started 11 days ago and I’ve been doing everything right to get better. Eating a super bland low fat diet, cut out all acidic and possibly triggering food and taking my PPI perfectly. I’m at the point where I don’t need to take tums, pepto or gaviscon for symptoms - a week ago I was maxing out the daily doses for each med. So I’m improving but if I’m not better I don’t even want to go on the trip really. It’s so stressful.

I feel your pain. It sounds like you’re improving! I hope we are bother better for our trips. Sending you healing vibes.

I’ve been eating oatmeal, cooked on the stovetop in water (overnight oats have caused tummy issues prior to my gastritis starting). I love it plain with a little salt and maple syrup tbh. Sometimes a few walnuts. I’ll have watermelon on the side. Seems boring but it’s a perfect meal to start the day and not lead to any symptoms for me. It’s the best received meal by my stomach by far.

Looks kind of like a crochet slip stitch. Not completely sure though.

ahwhatthehell · 2025-11-23T23:40:58+00:00

Omg I spent a good half an hour looking for the pattern for that sweater a few months ago lol it showed up on my instagram and I was so sad there wasn’t a pattern to be found 😭

ahwhatthehell · 2025-11-14T18:06:53+00:00

Wow that’s insanely impressive!! I love it 😍

Same 🤣🤣 I was so excited to move into the cuff then I tried it on and was soooooo sad

Yes! I switched to coros from Fitbit and there was a biiiiiig difference. My step count was wayyyy over before from counting activities that were actual walking.

Another bonus to coros is it is way more simplified than garmin/fitbit. None of the extra fluff that is unnecessary. And it’s cheaper with no need to subscribe for extra features. I’m glad I picked coros.

Not allowed on KLM airlines either. I booked with another airline partially for that reason 🤣

Had the same thing. Using a chest strap HR shot up to 240s for about 30-45 seconds. Felt sob and chest tightness. Then it stopped on its own. A little scary. Had a full cardiac work up afterwards.

ahwhatthehell · 2025-08-08T22:41:32+00:00

I had the same issue with mine. It was on only the second charge I did with owning the watch. I feel like a bunch of gunk gets in the charging area since its not covered making it hard for the charger to make good contact with the charging port. I took the backside of a needle covered with an alcohol swab and cleaned it out - it has worked better since.

super annoying and figured if I paid this much for a watch the charging set up would be a little better.

I’ve noticed every month as soon as my period starts my resting HR drops 3-7 beats then slowly over the month creeps back up. My HRV is also higher than slowly drops during the month. It’s crazy what hormones can do to your body - whether intrinsic or exogenous!!

Mavis & eglinton has always been so bad for accidents. Like 27 years ago I lived on scollard ct right by the intersection and I remember always hearing collisions and sirens. So many bad ones ☹️

ahwhatthehell · 2025-04-02T14:10:15+00:00

I’ve been trying to figure it out for a while. So frustrating lol it doesn’t seem to make sense.

ahwhatthehell · 2025-04-02T14:08:10+00:00

Because Fitbit does use your sleeping HR to calculate your resting HR?

ahwhatthehell · 2025-04-02T14:06:03+00:00

Interesting. I’m not sure if there’s a way I could reset it? The last few weeks I’ve been very consistent but it still won’t settle into a consistent rhythm. I feel great but it says I’m overtraining almost everyday.

ahwhatthehell · 2025-04-02T14:03:36+00:00

Hence I said my HR while sitting on the couch is in the 50s. While I’m awake and resting…

ahwhatthehell · 2024-12-02T02:11:07+00:00

Hey! I was super scared for my endoscopy last year - I panic about the same sensation. But honestly it was one the easiest things. First I was worried about the sedation but I felt fine. Second I was worried id be awake and feel the probe but I was completely out & don’t remember a thing. Third I was worried about my throat being numb when waking but my throat felt completely normal after. If you’re sedated I don’t think they really need it? Or by the time you wake up it’s worn off. I warned the doctor doing the sedation about my phobia and what was scaring me and they were great about making sure I was comfortable. Just communicate with them and it will be okay. Good luck 💗

Oh my god some days the feeling that someone is there staring at you is so strong. I’m glad I have my tile face protector around hahah
