I am 31 year old guy.I am having a history of acidity for more than 2-3 years.My lifestyle had been very sedentary. for past 2 months i am having mucus(as it comes in dysentery ) with kind of spume with my stool in the end.sometimes it becomes normal and in few days it starts again. I am weakening also. My weight was 70 kg and it declined by 3-4 Kgs in one month and now its almost constant to 66-67 kgs.Feel weak in thighs, jaw muscles, arms.. I feel like something is slightly stuck in my lowest point of my throat (the point where we knot a tie) and burning in esophagus with heavy stomach.I feel hungry in every 3 hrs. After bowel movement in the morning i do not feel empty completely.I also feel irritation and burning in esophagus if i take anything spicy( not every time generally in the morning). I feel weakness, short spasm and tingling in my any part like neck/ face/chest/leg etc… I am also feel panic and fear mostly at night before sleeping..I think i am in depresion for last 3 months.

Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, it seems that you might be having gastrointestinal tract infection along with gastritis. This is a curable condition.

You may continue with the medicines prescribed by your doctor friend. These will help in controlling the infection.
I would advise that you should add an antacid like Omeprazole 40 mg once day before meals. A probiotic daily along with digestive enzyme preparation containing pepsin and fungal diastase after meals will have added benefits.

You should eat light meals prepared under hygienic conditions.
You should drink lots of water daily. Avoid spicy and oily foods.
Also avoid smoking and alcohol, if any.

Since you are having burning sensation in esophagus, I would also advise that you should get an Endoscopy done.

Gastrointestinal tract infection will not cause high cholesterol and BP levels.
Increase in blood pressure can be related to high cholesterol levels.
Regular exercise and healthy lifestyle will help in controlling your blood pressure and high cholesterol levels.

I would suggest that you should get yourself clinically examined and investigated.
Following investigations may be helpful :-
1. Lipid profile.
2. Thyroid profile.
3. Endoscopy.
4. ECG.
5. Kidney Function Test(KFT).

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
