my wife age is 40 and for one year she took (may 2012 to april 2013) vertin -16 , later doctor found in MRI that she has compression in backbone disc L 24 and spondilitis, treatment is in process. 4 months back one night she started complaining about gastric became unconscious for two minutes and started taking deep loud breathing. We consulted Doctor they told it may be due to gas. After two month again it happened when she was having an antibiotic for urine infection. I forget to mention that last 4-5 months after periods she was having urine infection. Continously she is suffering from gastric, we did endoscopy and bipesy in which they found Helicobacter pylori bacteria. last 7 days She is on antibiotic for the HP bacteria, Yesterday again she complained about svere gas and had same attack , became became unconscious for two minutes and started taking deep loud breathing. Pls advise what may be the cause of attack ? is it vertin -16 side effect or HP bacteria ? Is it life threatening?
