H Pylori and panic anxiety disorders
Posted: Sun Aug 27, 2023 1:14 pm
I have been diagnosed with H. pylori infection and pan gastritis through endoscopy with RUT, and I have undergone antibiotic therapy two times in the last six months. The first treatment involved: Pylokit (Tinidazole 500mg + Clarithromycin 250mg + Lansoprazole 30mg), and the second treatment was a quad therapy (Bismuth 120 mg + Tetracycline 2000 mg + Metronidazole 1200mg + Dexlansoprazole 60mg), each lasting for 14 days. While my symptoms do improve during the antibiotic regimen, they tend to worsen progressively after I complete the treatment.
My primary complaints include palpitations, extreme anxiety, brain fog, headaches, fatigue, and difficulty focusing and breathing too. These symptoms have led me to seek the expertise of various medical professionals including gastroenterologists, cardiologists, pulmonologists, and neurologists. However, the consensus among them has been to dismiss my symptoms as psychiatric in nature.
I am curious if anyone has come across cases where folks exhibited symptoms similar to mine. I am particularly interested in understanding whether H. pylori infection could potentially contribute to symptoms like anxiety, fatigue and headaches and this is not just a psychiatric issue.
