This is my story till date in regards to the fight with H-Pylori. It all started with one night of severe heartburn. I was awake all night and really didn't know what to do. After a quick search on Google I came to know that its very common and any antacid will fix the problem (I did not know that this would change my life over next month). I got the antacids and as prescribed took it accordingly. I did feel some comfort but then the heartburn would return after few days. After a few weeks of multiple heartburn filled nights I decided to consult a doctor. Doctor at this point gave more antacids
a week of these medicines and nothing happened over that I had to rush to hospital multiple times to get injections to relieve the severe heartburns. At this point I had seen multiple doctors and all had given me the same medicines. Fed up of the meds I started researching myself to atleast narrow down what the problem might be. While researching I found that the symptoms I had matched to H-Pylori. I booked an appointment with another doctor and decided to straight away go for Endoscopy and Biopsy. And as predicted H-Pylori came positive.
Doctor prescribed the triple treatment (Clarithoromycin, Pantoprazole and Amoxillin). Relieved with the knowledge that atleast I knew the problem I had, I started the treatment. While the first few days were good and I felt good with mild headache, it has gotten worse since. The major problem I am facing right now is severe heartburn. I have been eating right, no spicy food or anything that might trigger heartburn, but still sleepless nights. I will be consulting my doctor to see if something can be done about the burning today... It is so bad
