Chronic Gerd/Anemia

I was just wondering if anyone else here has chronic gerd along with anemia? My blood count keeps slowly going down over a long period of time, at the present time it's 88..I believe that's the red blood cell count, also I'm told that my red blood cells are not only few but smaller then they should be. I've never known anyone else in my life that's had this problem, and so I'm looking for anyone who can relate to me here, I'm also 55 and perimenopausal. I have a blood test coming up to check for a B12 deficiency, I hear that taking PPI's for a long period of time can cause a problem with being able to absorb that, and I'm on 40 mg. of Nexium twice a day.

I have a scope scheduled for July 2nd and an abdominal ultra sound coming up on Monday June 9th. I've always had ringing in my ears, but I find lately that with anemia, the ringing is getting much worse, and also my vision is a bit blurry at times and I'm very tired. I'm kind of to the point where I just want to know what's going on. Is the gerd causing my anemia? do I have cancer somewhere in my body? I just want some answers and I hope to get them soon. I'm trying to stay positive and not read any more worst case scenarios, or think the worst, but it's getting more and more difficult. I just feel lousy as most of you probably do to.
