TastyTreats   10 #2 Posted December 7, 2012 You should get yourself to the A and E. Reason i say it is because the last thing you want is to worry about a ruptured ulcer or anything else that can cause serious problems. If your in that much pain its worth listening to your body. My dad gets stomach ulcers and he takes milk of magnesia but he never been bad to the extent you are now.  Hope you get things sorted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

rothschild   10 #4 Posted December 7, 2012 It could be Helicobacter Pylori. Google this name and see if you recognise anything. Whichever though......you need it checking out. You have to go back to your doctors and discuss this with them. Good luck..............you will be right in the end with the proper treatment.

Jakester   10 #8 Posted December 7, 2012 Hi Wayne- the most appropriate next step for you is to visit your GP. You have chronic signs and symptoms which are not , at this stage , acute. If you went to A+E you would only be referred back to your GP for further testing.  As a previous post mentioned - it is likely you may have H pylori which is an extremely common bacteria found in the stomach which slowly erodes the lining eventually causing ulcers. Non invasive testing at the surgery followed by antobiotic therapy if found should clear it up.  Reduce alcohol intake , spicy foods and smoking as this aggravates it. Wear loose fitting belts as you may have "reflux" which can leave a bitter taste in your mouth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
this_life   10 #9 Posted December 7, 2012 Go to A+E they won't tell you to go to your GP. My uncle was admitted with these symptoms after being ignored by the GP, and died. Not to worry you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
In Uppers   10 #10 Posted December 7, 2012 I'll have a guess at gallstones. Now get yourself to hospital and don't forget to update us all later. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
this_life   10 #11 Posted December 7, 2012 Gallstones doesn't make you sick and the pain is not constant, its periodic and severe, you would take yourself to A and E if it was an attack of Gallstone pain. Pancreas causes continuous pain under the ribs and sickness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
