Does Chronic Nausea And Back Pain Indicate GERD?

Posted on Mon, 20 Oct 2014

Question: I continue to suffer from chronic nausea, abd and back pain. CT scan,MRCP, and blood work for inflammation and thyroid were normal. I had an SIBO test which was positive and was treated with antibiotics. Several docs on this site have suggested I have reflux. My last endoscopy was March and showed reflux and GERD. I feel like I must have cancer or something because I am nauseated most of the time. Are chronic nausea and abd pain consistent with reflux? I am also able to sleep and have not had heartburn.

Brief Answer:
It's gerd

Detailed Answer:
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your query.I think I may be able to make a difference.

I think I would be almost certain that you have GERD. The symptoms are unmistakable, and the endoscopy report suggest the same.

Yes chronic nausea and pain can be GERD.

I think I would suggest a prescription for your condition-
1 pantopraxole 40 mg twice a day.
2 sucralfate syrup three times a day.

This is probably going to be able to make you feel better.

Would this cause nausea that is quite bad at times and causes loss of appetite? All I want to do is lie down. Unable to enjoy daily activities. Could this be something more serious?
