Diagnosed With A Hiatus Sliding Hernia, Painful Stomach, Headaches, Dizziness, Nausea, Bloated. Allergy? Take Nexium Injection?
Hi,
I have been diagnosed with a hiatus sliding hernia, and been admitted to the ER for several times during this past month.
Pain in my stomach has stopped for a couple of weeks until they came back 2 days ago. Since then I have been to the doctor who gave me a Nexium injection and exactly afterwards i started feeling dizzy tired nauseous and bloated, along with a headache. I also had mild stomach pain and was feeling constipated for that day. Next day i started having a diarrhoea and my stool culture charistaristics is soft creamy white or very light brown coloured.
Today is day 3 where the diarrhoea and headache along with fatigue problem.
Should I be worried or is that just a bad allergic reaction towards the Nexium injection?

If it has subsided you may not need immediate surgery but a planned one
