Hi everyone. I normally post on the Anxiety forum but given the last several weeks, decided I wanted to try this out. I'm 55 and have had anxiety off and on since my early 20s. I tend to be pretty high strung and always going and have a hard time shutting the brain off at night sometimes.
Due to suspected reflux, stomach pain and heartburn several years ago, I had to have an endoscopy done. I was diagnosed with reflux and GERD with gastritis and put on Prilosec. After a few months, symptoms cleared and I was able to stop the Prilosec. Fast forward to about 5 months ago and a VERY stressful next few months of getting financing pre-approval, looking for a house and moving, my stress level was through the roof. We moved into our house over Memorial Day weekend. Two weeks later, I began experiencing some stomach uneasiness/ nausea when eating. I got sick once and was down almost a week. I couldn't eat and had terrible gut problems. I got better for a couple weeks then had a second bout thought not near as bad. My doctor sent me for a colonoscopy and endoscopy. Colonoscopy clean and biopsies were done during the endoscopy and I was put back on Prilosec 40 mg. The biopsies came back clean but still have reflux and the random nausea sometimes after eating. Not sure what to think now. Dr appointment on Monday to follow up. FYI I had my gall bladder out in 2002.
