Hey guys I know most people on here probably aren’t professionals but if anyone has experienced something similar and can shed some light I would be grateful.
I’m a 17 y/o girl and I have anxiety which doesn’t help my symptoms.
My symptoms are an uncomfortable stomach along with nausea also sometimes cramps, I’ve had a bit of bloating but that’s died down recently I’ve also found it really tender to touch my belly button and it causes a lot of pain if I press down on it, I also have heartburn and increased belching and gas.
I’ve got other symptoms as well which aren't to do with my belly- I’ve got a headache witch is on and off they seem like tension headaches because I feel that my head is slowly being crushed I also have a sore throat and I’ve had a cough in which I’m coughing up phlegm also a blocked nose I’ve had back pain as well but I do a lot of sports so back pain is really common- I’ve been struggling with since before this year but I know whether it’s flared up a bit it seems a bit worse recently.
Base on the symptoms my initial thought was pregnancy but after 6 negative home tests and a negative urine test done by GP as well as regular periods up to the current date I ruled this out.
I’ve recently had the contraceptive implant which I think had induced some things like increased acne, but the stomach problems started before then.
GP thinks it is my stomach producing excess acid which has irritated but I don’t understand why I would feel the worst pain around my bellybutton. GP gave me MEPRADEC (how long should this take to work).
I don’t want to go back to the GP as she says there’s nothing wrong and I should wait it out.
Also had blood tests and nothing came back as a worry.
But I’ve lost 8kg in 12 weeks with no lifestyle differences.
I appreciate all advice x
