What Causes Gastric Problem, Headaches And Fatigue?
Question: Hi ive had gastritis problem for couple of years now, my gp prescribed me anti gastric medicine, the problem is still there, and now on top ive been experiencing alot of headaches which seems to be there nearly all of the time. The symptoms that i get are fatigue, gnawing pain in my abdomen, lump kind of feeling in my throat at times, and also now im experiencing another new symptom, in my left ear i get a weird feeling of something twitching or being pulled to be precise. I am very dristressed as ive been many times to my doctor but they arent doing anything about it. I would be ever soo grateful for some help in ruling out what it possibly maybe the problem. I also have pain just under my left breast, where the digestive system is.
