Hi
I have an interview this week, and the only issue I have is memory retrieval at times, my mind just goes blank due to gastritis, sometimes.
Is there anyway I can boost my mind food, or fluid intake to help keep my mind active, and the neuroans whatever they are working as normal.
Thanks in advance

I have had this lump in the throat feeling for 2 months now. I quit smoking back in March 2011 I have been a on and off smoker for about 15 years. But now have quit for good. I’m in what to seems to be good health. I just went to my primary care doctor and he did a physical did a complete blood panel cbc and a chest x ray. The blood panel came back normal thyroid and cbc were normal and platelet counts were perfect. Chest x ray was normal and clear. In may 2011 I started to get this sore throat mostly on the right side of the back of my throat. My doctor said oh it’s just a minor infection here are some antibiotics take them for 10 days you will be fine. 10 days go by no change still have sore throat. I go back to the doctor complaining of sore throat he said allergies gave me a nose spray and told me to take a over the counter Allergy pill once a day and it will clear up. Well it never did clear up. I go back to the doctor again. Complaining of sore throat he said well I have done everything I can here is a referral to a ENT. So I scheduled a appointment with the ENT doc. I told the ENT I had a sore throat on the right side of my throat just behind my tonsils and I notice a small nonraised red spot on my right tonsil. I told him I’m worryed it might be the big C word (cancer). He looked in my mouth and looked at my tonsils and said its not cancer and it looks like a irritation on the right tonsil nothing to be concerned about. He said well I put you on a antiboctic. I said I just got off of amoxicillian for 10 days. He said well lets take a inside look with a scope that goes up through your nose and down into the back of your throat. He did the scope thing he said I can see everything does it hurt more on one side than the other. I said yes right side. He said I see minor refulx but nothing on the right side everything looks mostly normal. He then pulls the scope out and said well the other thing we can do is a barium swallow test. I went and had the barium swallow test done and the test was normal. The doctor who read and did the barium swallow test said to me everything looks normal no scarring no growths no ulcers ect. So I go back to the ENT doctor and he said I have something call tonsilliths in both of my tonsils. He told me that bacteria and food gets stuck in these pockets of the tonsils causing infection. I told him I get tonsil stones everyonce in while but nothing like all the time. I have never had tonsilitis ever in my life or even strep throat to that matter. He continues to tell me that my tonsils are bad and they need to come out. I thought HMM. My dad told me to make a appointment to see a GI doctor. I went to a GI doctor he said what I am explaining is reflux or GERD. So I schedule to have a upper endoscopy done. The doctor puts me under for about 15 mins sends the scope down my esphogus into my stomach found that I hava a small hiatal hernia and gastritis. I woke up and he said everything is ok the throat looks normal and that I have a small henia. He put me on 20mg of Omeprozole and I should strt to feel better. Well it’s been months now and the sore throat and red spot on tonsil are gone. Now it feels like someone is choking me right below the adams apple. This lump in the throat feeling is gone in the morning but gets worse during the day sometime eating makes the sensation go away but them comes right back. I can swallow just fine I can breath just fine and eat and drink with no problem but this lump feeling is getting on my last fricken nerve. Can some please help me I am at a total loss please. Are there any doctors that can chime in on this subject or others that have found out how to get rid of this feeling. I am a mostly relaxed and layed back guy I’m not stressed as some web sites say that stress can cause this but am at my witts end of this feeling in my throat. Can anyone tell me what this is. My doctors seem like their all a bunch of dummies and say that its nothing to worry about. Short of having my tonsils yanked out for the hell of it just to see if it is my tonsils I’m 34 years old and heard that having you tonsils out at a older age could be every risky. Please help i’m open to any suggestions on what to do. Thank you Mark
Before I start this post off, I’m going to start off by saying that I have been to 5 different Doctors, as well as a Gastroenterologist. More on that later.
For about 6 months now, I’ve been living the life of “hell”.or at least that’s what I’ve come to call it. Most mornings I’ll first wake up feeling fine. I guess that’s because my body’s still settling in to the new day, and waking up. Lately on the average day, a few hours after waking up i’ll start to feel a lot of discomfort in my upper stomach and my chest. Sometimes I’ll feel ill, sometimes I’ll feel cramped/bloated, and others i’ll feel pain or pressure. Most of the times, i feel this “gnawing” sensation. At times throughout the day I’ll also start to feel a bit weak like i could faint or pass out, or sometimes i’ll feel this pressure that slowly spreads out around my chest to my neck and head.
These feelings and events can happen several times in a day, and the discomfort can last for hours. Take right now for example. For the last 48 hours, I’ve felt this crampy, gnawing sensation in my lower chest/upper stomach region for most of that time frame. It’s annoying, and very hard to cope with.
I never used to have any of these issues or these strange feelings, and sometimes it will get so bad that I begin to get “anxious” and start to panic, thinking of the worst possible scenario.
Like I just mentioned I’ve never been one to feel bad, i used to always feel normal and healthy. I used to be full of life and happy. The past 6 months of my life have been far from all that. In January I had a Sinus Infection, that I would say was pretty bad. I felt like crap. I was given antibiotics to fight that off, and once I felt better I stopped taking them.Several weeks later of feeling pretty decent, this all started happening.
As I mentioned above, I’ve been to quite a few doctors, and even a specialist. I was even given an endoscopy where I was diagnosed with slight gastritis and slight acid reflux. I’ve been on meds for these things for a few months now, and i’m still feeling like utter crap. I was even given medication for Anxiety, to calm my nerves. Nothing the doctors have done have really helped. Every time I bring up something that’s wrong with me, they play it off saying “Oh its only gastritis” or “Oh, really. Huh.”
At times my chest can feel sore, and even tender to the touch around the lower Sternum area. They never once made any comments about that, even though i’ve brought it up to them several times.
Anyway, after all this ranting, I guess I’m here to see if anyone might be able to lend some educated insight. I know that the best way of knowing something is by seeing a doctor, or so they say. But thus far, nothings changed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And thank you for reading through this wall of text.I’m pretty scared =/.
Please read first:
I’ve just moved into a new place last Friday, three days ago I took my dog down too a creek near where I live. He swam and ran around, he was perfectly fine and very happy.
That night, at 4 am, he went outside. (I suspected to use the bathroom)
The next morning, however, he vomited, it was bright red, but did not look bloody. At the time, I didn’t think much of it, as all dogs will vomit from time to time and it was a brand new living space for him, so I assumed he would be stressed from the entire ordeal.
But, later that afternoon he vomited again and started acting very sickly, slept all day and would barely move. He also refused to eat or drink anything. That night he vomited once again, and had dry heaves at night. I decided to see how he was in the morning and if he still was ill, I would take him to the vet.
The next morning, again he acted sickly and vomited so I immediately put him in the car and went to the nearest vet.
The vet said that he most likely had either swallowed something or, her best guess, was that he had eaten something that was infectious such as a dead animal.
She wrote down that she suspected HGE, Colitis, or Gastritis.
She gave him a broad spectrum antibiotic shot and medicine I’m too give him twice daily for a month.
But, she said if he is still vomiting after 12 hours or will not accept food and water still, too bring him back and she will do blood work and an X-ray.
It has been about 9 hours, and he hasn’t vomited but he is acting very,very strange. He is having a hard time breathing (almost like he has a stuffy nose) and clawing everywhere he is laying.
The action I am most concerned with though is that he keeps crawling into hidden corners and laying down, which I am aware is what dogs do when they are preparing to die.
Could he be doing this simply because he is not feeling well. Does this affirm serious health problems that lead to death.
His respiratory issues are also worrying me as well, but the vet told me to wait at least 12 hours.
What should i do.
im 47 and i have been dealing with chronic headaches for a majority of my life ive been taking pills through the years and i have gastritis because of all the pills ive been taking because of the gastirtis i have not been able to eat well and have been surfuring on stomach aches what food should i be eating
My stomach biopsy results said chronic gastritis. I have taken so much Advil in the past few months, which can cause gastritis. And now I have acid indigestion all the time. I know Dyspepsia/indigestion/heartburn can be a symptom of Gastritis but my doctor is insisting I have Acid Reflux Disease. I have never had an acidity problem before so I am not sure if my stomach sphincter is the problem like my doctor is claiming.Any ideas.
Hi Im 18 years old, I believe Im suffering from acute gastritis. A week ago i drank ALOT for the very first time, i think this would be the cause. I have very little appetite for about a week now, and I feel very nauseous in the morning, or after I eat. I hear that it heals itself after awhile, how long will it take.
I’m currently inpatient and needed a pain killer for my period cramps (only ibuprofen works for me). They gave me Toradol and it helped SO much. They then came later and told me that they will not give me any more Toradol because of the GI bleeding risks and stuff (I have gastritis and esophagitis along with other medical problems especially GI). Can Toradol really cause that if its going through an IV and not to my stomach. I am gonna make them give it to me anyway cause my cramps are so bad I’m crying, but just a thought I suppose.
i had a feeding tube when i was born until the age of five how do i go about getting a feeding tube i feel like i have lost a lot of weight and i and hardly eating anything because of my throat burning i am struggling to eat by month because of this a year ago i got told i have gastritis .tried medication for my gastritis does not help me at all i am going to call my doctor on Monday
