I suffer from acid reflux and have been for years, just over a month ago I started to have serve pain in my chest so I took 20mg Omprezole but the symptoms kept getting worst.
2 weeks ago I had an extremely painful throat and especially when i swallowed, and then 3 days later had a fever and felt hot when it subsided I still felt my throat burning and chest pain from the reflux and a few days later developed a lump in my gland. I went to the doctor who told me to stop the PPIs and gave me a plastic container to do the h.pylori test but only after 2 weeks as I had been on PPIs.
(Note, I had a endoscopy done 5 and a half years ago and they only found a Hiatal hernia, they tested me for h.pylori and i was negative back then.)
Within the next few days the lump in my gland started to get bigger and my symptoms were getting worst, decrease in appetite, lightheaded, weakness.
I went to A&E and the doctor was not very helpful and said there is not much they can do but she thinks i have 2 separate issue an infection and acid reflux, she did a blood test to which she saw my Neutrophils level slightly higher than normal and prescribed my with co-amoxiclav for a week, my lightheadedness went after a day but still have all the other symptoms.
Please note, I have cut coffee, fried food, spice, pretty much everything and am drinking ginger and aloevera everyday but no improvement.
Can you please help?
