Hello all,
I had been having some upper abdominal pain, discomfort, bloating and burning for a couple of year on and off. I finally had an upper endoscopy done because I was always rushing into urgent care thinking I had something dreadfully wrong with me. Well, the doc saw some irritation but nothing that he suspected was serious. He gave me Protonix but after I took that I started having diarrhea and abdominal pains. So he told me stop the Protonix and take Zantac 150 mg if I had symptoms. And I'm to see him in two weeks. I have the pics and see a small spot of what looks like dried blood. I'm so scared and worried about this. But he didn't seem to think it was significant. This doc has a very good reputation with endoscopy. I am always such a hypochondriac and I am letting my imagine run wild with this. I've even looked up abnormal endo pics on the internet. Please someone...help calm me. I really enjoy ivillage message boards and am hoping to find some comfort. Thank you!
