Hi Doctor, thanks for the good work you do here. I have always had heart burn which after some checks, it was discovered that I have stomach ulcer which seems to be the cause. Naturally, I drink tons of water ( it is an habit ). I started drinking water heavily thinking it will help my heart burn. But lately, it increased significantly such that I am now scared to eat anything.

This heart burn starts immediately after meal and can last like 3 hours.

I must confess a little alteration in my lifestyle lately - I started drinking garri and coffee again. Both of these I stopped when it was discovered I have ulcer but restarted again when a friend who has same habit started living with me. Could this be the cause? Note with or without these habits, I still have heart burn but never as this frequent of painful.
Re: Doctor in the House: Free Medical Advice Available by hoojay4(m): 8:18pm On Apr 01, 2015
Pls doc, Can stomach ulcer cause rise in blood pressure, or do they have any connection?

Have ever been tested or treated for H. pylori? Also, have you taken anti-reflux therapy? If no, i would recommend starting there. Let me know if you need more information.

If you have been properly and accurately diagnosed with gastric ulcer, then NO. No connection with high blood pressure.

The operative world is proper and accurate.

Don''t hesitate to ask further questions.

Amitriptyline is not typically used to treat anxiety. It is strictly anti-depressant treatment. Are you in depressed or anxious state?

Twynsta appears to be another anti-hypertensives; along with propanol, seem like an awful lot.

Have you checked you BP lately or obtained the thyroid tests?

Anti reflux therapy; suppresses acid production by your stomach. Can Try: Tums first. If doesn't work, try cimetidine or famotidine. If doesn't work, try more potent class: omeprazole, pantoprazole etc.

IN addition: avoid or limit aggravating foods: caffeine, spicy foods, chocolate, fatty foods, alcohol. Estrogen can cause it too in case you are on OCP. Sleep with head of bed elevated or just prop pillows up. Also, eat at least 3 hours before lying down for sleep.

Best.

Lots of things it can be: infection, inflammation, trauma, tumor, obstruction, vasculature

How old is this gentle men? History of STDs? Painful urination or e*jaculation?, fever/chills?, blood in urine, penile discharge?

If he is young and the answers to above is no, he can wait it out and it may resolve on own. If it continues, or any of above questions become positive, then see doctor.

Is this bleeding heavy or more than usual in quantity? It may be fibroids. But, be it as it may, you need oral contraceptive in the form of combination estrogen/progesterone to regulate bleeding.

But, you need to make sure it is not a bleeding disorder, you weren't pregnant or are you previously on OCP?

Why did you take misoprostol? Abortion?

If so, the bleeding will taper off up to 3-4 weeks. Can wait another week or so. If not stopped, see gyn doc.

Anytime i had wet dream or i ejaculated. My Penis alwys pain me, like a sore-like pain.
Whats the possible cause?
Thanks...

Infection or inflammation of your prostate, testicles or urethra.

How long has this been going on? Are you on any medications, supplements?

Can obtain test for STD if you are sexually active.

Propanol works really fast; within hours. Should have reduced your BP by now. 80mg/day is a hefty bit of dose.

Yes, get the thyroid test and let me know how it goes. You will likely need medical treatment to suppress excess thyroid production, perhaps surgical removal depending.

When did you stop taking it? The half life of the drug combination is about hours/week. So, It will take about 2 weeks for it completely wear off theoretically given the half life (amount of time it takes to clear half of the drug from your system).

This needs more history. First, you age bracket please? Did this start suddenly or gradually? Has it happened before? Can you relate with any food that you ate? Are you having passing stools? Constipation? Diarrhea? How many times did you vomit? And how much (quantity) is the vomitus?

IT does sound like you have lots of gas in your bowel. The questions is why? I will start with food intolerance. Avoid or limit carbohydrate laden foods diary foods (cow milk, cheese et. al), legumes (beans). Keep food diary so you can note what is causing it and eliminate it.

OK. Sounds like you are still chemically aborting the fetal tissues. Hm. You can wait it out and see it tapers off.

Are you self treating? Should see and gynecologist for a follow-up; botched up or incomplete chemical abortion can have serious consequences.
