Question: Hi! I was recently diagnosed with chronic moderate erosive gastritis (with multiple ulcers). I’ve been experiencing lightheadedness but lab results have indicated that I am not anemic. Could the ulcers be causing the lightheadedness or should I see my family doctor for further evaluation? The ppi seems to help the lightheadedness.

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.

Ulcers do not cause light headness unless there is significant bleed causing a drop in blood pressure.
So you need to see your doctor for further evaluation.
