Helicobacter Forums

Hello everyone.

I've been for a while burping. On July 23rd I mostly had a syncope after I felt 2 spasms in my left chest , that I don't know if it's related to pylory (cardiology's sais it's ok). After that I had a lot of stress, panic attacks, and then I got better.

At the end of August I started h pylori treatment with pylera after I was diagnosed. It went well at the beginning, but I need to go to the toilet a lot of times every day and I lost 5kg+/-. The last pylera day on September 4th I was very weak and very very anxious and with dehydration signs so I went to ER. They checked everything and told me it was a gastroenteritis due antibiotics.

The weight lost also stressed me a lot, as I lost 5Kg in 10 days.

I did a endoscopy and the result was overall good but in th biopsy says I had a bit of inflammation in the mucosa.

My stomach doesn',t hurt, maybe only a bit after I eat or when I'm hungry.

The problem is that the last week I started to have spasms on the muscles, mainly in the legs but on other parts of the body too.

My anxiety raised A LOT after treatment and I'm very afraid and even can't think in other things or stay focused at work.

My life was perfect until I had that episode on July 23rd, but now it got much worst after pylera!!it looks like it killed me in many ways.

Please I will appreciate very much if someone can help me or any doctor that I can consult online because I live in Spain.

Thank you so much.

Any help, please??

Hi,

Do you know if you still have H. pylori? if you have not done a follow up test, maybe you need to get it done.

Hello, I have a new test on October 4th. They did me a gastroscopy on September 13th and was negative on h pylori then, but I will do the a breath test on October 4th.

Could I take probiotics until the test?

I was more concerned about the muscle spasms.

Thank you so much.

the endoscopy is probably accurate enough. but it'll be good to have a second test to confirm the result.

you can take probiotics until the night before breath test.

the spasm may not be because of H. pylori. it's not a typical symptoms reported.

what about your family member that living under the same roof? have they been tested and treated?

They are going to be tested too.

Thank you.

And what about the weight loss during pylera? I was on 75,5k at the beginning of pylera treatment, at the end I was at 70kg, but I'm having issues to recover weight/muscle lost on those days after mostly 3 weeks.

Thank you so much.

The side effects of antibiotics usually wear off within a week.
Usually after eradication of H. pylori, the stomach condition and appetite would gradually improve and the patients would put on some weight.
