Hello Migz and welcome!

I am sorry to hear of your illness.:( However, ulcer/h pylori is a very treatable and common condition. You are taking the necessary medication, and will start feeling better very soon!

Do you struggle with anxiety and worries about your health in general?

If so, seeking treatment by talking with your doctor would be a wise step. You can talk about your recovery options such as medication and/ or therapy.

For now, please see our Resources at the top of the main forum page here for great self help material. Practicing the suggested exercises daily will make a big difference in how you feel.

Keep posting with us as well. We understand, care and support is key!

Talk soon,

Hi scaredy cat. Yes i am struggling with anxiety ang in my health as well. When my symptoms come then automatically i feel the anxiety. My wife cannot understand what my condition is. Its very hard for me because i work abroad. I'm from philippines and working here in abu dhabi. Away from my family is very hard. Thats why when i feel something to my health i start googling all day. I hope i can heal my h pylori fast because it affects my work and my wife.

M,

It can be very stressful to be working away from home...add in an illness, and you certainly have an understandable trigger for anxiety!

Instead of Googling your symptoms, how about putting that time and effort into tapping into our self help here?

I can post some links that I think would be of particular help to you if you'd like...just let me know and I will provide them directly here for you.:)

You'll need to come to that decision with your doctor. ..in order to best determine your individual needs.

Many people find the combination of therapy, medication and self help a winning one! The more tools one can look into using the better, right?

Anxiety can be very isolating, so we understand how alone you feel. That is why this community is so important! Support is such a help, so keep posting!

I'll post some self help links for you below.:)

Migz27..you've definitely come to a great forum with lots of support and people to talk to. This forum is a Godsend for me when my anxiety is running high. Even without posting and reading others who feel the same makes me feel less alone in all this.
Hope the links above help you.

Thanks a lot for your replies. Wake up today feeling like having a panic attack. My sickness is conquering me. I dont want to live like this. I cant relax my mind to think that everything will be just fine. This is very hard. Is it ok to take anti anxiety meds together with the antibiotics?
Posted 9/14/2016 2:18 AM (GMT 0)
Generally speaking, yes, you should be fine to take both. However, talking to your doctor or pharmacist would be best, just to be sure. There are also interaction checker websites you can consult.

I am really sorry you woke to a challenging day.:( Try and use some of the coping skills in the links I posted for you. They take some commitment and practice to get the most benefit from them...but they should be helpful to you!

Keep posting and we'll keep cheering you on towards feeling better. :)

Yes, I struggle with irritation, anger, impatience ect...when my anxiety is high!

Like I mentioned, talking with your doctor as soon as you can will help you to determine the best treatment plan.

...and for now, check out and get started on the coping skills in our Resources. ..they will really help! :)

Stay positive, there is help and hope!

Anxiety is the cruelest of things to deal with...every time you feel the slightest bit better it throws you a curve ball (American baseball saying). I have read many times that digestive issues can throw anxiety into high gear, so take some comfort in the fact that your issue may be medical and once your digestive issue resolves, you may feel better! I've had similar experiences over the past 30 years.
