Hi all,
Thanks for all the useful information I've read on this forum.
I've been having a troublesome few months and am looking for some advice. I've Always had a sensitive stomach/infrequent indigestion but nothing too mad - I am a 24 y/o female and healthy (watch what I eat!).
about 3 months ago I had a chest infection and glandular fever. about 3 weeks after I started to develop agonising chest pains. I ended up in A and e a few times and after many other tests we realised it might not be Costochondritis but actually gastro related. I had classic symptoms of acid reflux - burping, bad taste in mouth at night, burning throat and sore throat too. Started taking 20mg omeprazole twice daily.
I had an endoscopy and there was a lot of thrush in my oesophagus. I've had a few courses of nystatin which didn't work and now I am taking daily fluconozole will hopefully do the trick as I feel rotten. I am asthmatic but use a spacer and have not had problems before!
I am trying my hardest to differentiate between the symptoms of on going fatigue from glandular fever, acid reflux and candida.
Any advice or tips would be much appreciated. Thank you!
