Suggest Treatment For Nausea And Palpitation

Hi, my boyfriend is having a lot of problems with his health. First of all, he has a lot of problems with his stomach, and is constantly nauseous, he can t eat because he s sick and when he does eat he gets more sick. It seems basically like his stomach is one huge ulcer. He has tried different medicines like Prilosec but their effectiveness wears off after a few months. But what is really worrying me is the fact that he seems to be having heart problems. He s 24 and not in the best shape, but he gets winded going up stairs. His heart seems to be beating far too quickly. Last night he complained about the fact that his heart would seem to stutter and then start back up again. When he has exercised he seemed fine during the activity but when he stops his heart works overtime. What could possibly be the problem? Thank you.

Cardiologist 's  Response
Hello,

I passed carefully through your question and would explain that his symptoms could be related to anemia, probably caused by the ulcer.

For this reason, it is important checking complete blood count for anemia.

Other tests to consider would be: a resting ECG, blood electrolytes, thyroid hormone levels and cardiac ultrasound.

Regarding the ulcer, I would recommend taking an antibiotic besides PPI; in order to help recover from this condition.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
