Suggest Treatment For Nausea, Excessive Burping And Indigestion Due To Mold

Posted on Mon, 18 Sep 2017

Question: Hello I have had GERD for many years now and have been on protonix and have not had any issues until the last 2 weeks, every day i am getting more and more nausea, burping, indigestion and this week i vomited. Every day it gets worse. I just had a colonoscopy in XXXXXXX and it was normal. My concern is that in the past many years ago i did have an ulcer but this feels different. My house was recently flooded due to a pipe bursting on the third floor, and it has been gutted and we are leaving however i am concerned about the mold exposure right now, tho not visible clearly it is im the sofa as it got drenched. I am trying to find a Dr to do an endoscopy asap but not having much luck, I would appreciate your opinion

Thank you there is no change in food intake in fact i eat very bland. I am tired all day and when i go to sleep i wake up at 3 or 4 every night regardless of what time i go to bed.

There is a change in bowels movements, i was constipated last week and have really only gone a little each day.

I also have a pain that is constant today in my chest tho not left side it is right in between my breasts
