Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
have had left sided chest pain and heartburn for over year, take lansoprozole daily. Also skin in the inside of mouths is peeling away when I dont take the lansoprozole. I also have blood in my stool on a regular basis, feel dizzy at times is this just indigestion.
Hello Welcome to HCM. Going by your symptoms,it looks like you have got gastroesophageal reflux disease. Laos because of peeling from inside of mouth and persistent gastritis, I suspect you vit B12 levels should be low. Vit B12 deficiency can cause mouth ulcers and acidity like symptoms. It also causes anemia. Also since you have blood in your stools, it is necessary to evaluate that. Blood in feces may be due to piles, fistula, constipation or intestinal bleed or abnormal growth. You must consult a gastroenterologist to get evaluated for blood in stools. You should also do a CBC and vit B12 levels to check whether vit B12 is low and presence of anemia Treatment can be started on basis of above reports. Meanwhile continue taking lansoprazole. Wishing you good health. Regards
