Consultant has been round, very matter of factish. All the doctors and nurses have been brilliant. The consultant thinks low BP not worried about the heart because I cycle and don't get breathless but he will also get the camera down for me. This is happening soon.

I recon the docs don't know what to do as he is fit ! Had the same when my stats dropped to the low 70s. Popped in to the ward today and the sister remarked that they were about to send me to ICU. I remember telling the ICU Consultant I felt fine at the time.

So , what was that all about. Well, the result is gastritis, the camera went down to find a load of inflammation in my stomach which they said is caused by years of taking Anadin Extra and Naproxen. They also done a biopsy which came back negative ( I thought that would take weeks). I've been told to take a course of Omeprazole 40mg for a month.

They think the gastritis is what made me feel dizzy and nauseous. I did have lots of blood tests and heart traces , which is a good thing. NHS just can't fault it, long may it last. It's the staff that make it.

I'm guessing that's good news ... You must be feeling better, you managed to make a political point :-)

I'm taking omeprazole at the moment as my GP wouldn't prescribe Naproxen for shoulder pain without it. Hopefully the damage reverses quickly

Yep,I've had that as well;was diagnosed a few years ago as I was getting really,really bad indigestion and heartburn.I take Omeprazole as well although if I eat or drink too much of certain things(coffee,chocolate,alcohol etc)I get it bad again.

Interestingly,my doctor told me that being veggie is a good thing for this sort of complaint.

So why were you taking Anadin Extra and Naproxen? Doctor's orders or self medication? Good news though!
