Hi,

Just wondering if anybody experiencing these symptoms together below:

1) Acid reflux till my throat (sour,stingy like senstation)

2) Heartburn (sour/stingy minty like sensation)

3) Tired easily

4) Abdominal pain (pain and need rush toilet to past motion diarrhoea like, with cold sweats)
*frequent; at least 1/day

So my doctor just says Gastric. Which I dont think so. rclxub.gif

I went did some blood test:

Everything seems fine except:

- Elevated Uric Acid 6.4 (normal: 2.6-6.0)
-Elevated GGT 49 (normal: 9-36)
-Elevated polymorphs 75 (50-70)

-AST 30 (normal: 5-34)
-ALT 44 (normal: 0-55)

I am overweight BMI 32. So is it just symptoms of overweight?or GERD/IBS? sad.gif

First, overweight can cause GERD. You already have all 2 signs (sour, heartburn). 1 suspected sign (abdominal pain) depend on location.
Better go check liver function test (ask for ALT, AST) Could be the start of non alcoholic fatty liver disease (sorry, but usually found in fat/ow/obese people). But is not high enough yet.
Tirednesss for how long? Frequent urination? Feel hungry frequently?

definitely got element of gastritis.
1 and 2 is GERD. if happens frequently you should be on medication for it.

number 4 is rather vague, no duration or frequency specified.......most common would be gastroenteritis AKA common diarrhea, but if happens all the time then will need investigation.

the blood result i won't be concerned about it.

Your blood test is not related to GERD/IBS. From the first 2 symptoms, it's suggestive of GERD and dyspepsia.

To be sure, likely need to do a scope.

Try to eat meals in smaller portions but higher frequency. Should help a little.

Yes, definite investigation is to scope down for GERD.

KIV to start T. Ranitidine / C.Omeprazole if indicated.

Could be diet related. Is lactose intolerance possible?
Any pattern you can think of or a particular food item?

Persistent symptom like this need to go to a doctor.

Just go klinik kesehatan. Will be cheaper than you do private. Tell you you want to be refer to gov hospital cause you said months already. Yes can persist if diet, lifestyle not good.

Do you eat regular meals (on time, did not skip meals), do you take lots of fried food?

Do you feel thirsty always and drink a lot?

At the moment,

Doctor gave me some Losec for 1 week to see how it goes.

Though is Losec expensive? Charge me Rm 140 i think for 1 week (twice a day) amount

Geez losec is just Omeprazole. You can get it cheaper at pharmacy. Again you didn't go to klinik kesihatan did you? You would have just pay RM1 for it instead of RM140.

Starting on weight loss journey

Not yet go klinik kesihatan..
Though just curious, klinik kesihatan drugs is it original or mostly generic. Since the price is cheaper by alot.

Public healthcare is subsidized by the government.
A lot of generics are used. But it doesn't mean it is less effective.
