Had Pylori Infection, Have Night Sweats, Indigestion, Not Pregnant. Reason?
hi I had h pylori infection which I had a triple therapy for. I must have have had h pylori for at least a year. I ended the triple therapy about 2 months ago. I was OK for about a week only. I now feel the same! I have night sweats and sweats during the day time also. I get indigestion (feels hot going down) and feel starving hungry at times, almost like pregnancy hunger pains, although im definitely not pregnant. I m not sure if the sweats are menopause related as I am 51 years of age. i have also had strange sort of headaches and extreme tiredness at times. This is really getting me down and I just want to feel well again. I have stopped taking omaprazole so that I can do another wee and poo test. Can you help. do you think i still have h pylori. The doctors keep saying triple therapy should have worked. Thank you, Karen

Welcome to HCM.
It is not due to h.pylori infection but it due to perimenopausal symptoms.
All these symptoms are due to hormonal changes during this age.
You have to start b12,calcium and vitamin supplement.
Try to remain busy,avoid stress and go for walk,exercise,yoga regularly.
It will subside gradually but continue b12,calcium supplement.
You can take omeprazole during episodes of indigestion,stomach pain.
If symptoms persist than start low dose hormone therapy under guidance of your gynecologist.
