Feeling faint when standing a while. Pain and nausea when eating.

So i was recently diagnosed with h pylori but ive been having these syptoms for years. I think something else may be going on as well. Im having chest pain and heartburn. Its all really confusing. Should i get a second GI opinion? Or just what?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Digestive Health Support Group.

@rinah20 With the different symptoms you have, it may be better if you start with seeing an Internist/ General Practitioner. They have experience in many symptoms you have. It sounds as if the cause of your anemia has to be found as well as your faintness. You may be dehydrated, but there are also conditions where the blood pressure drops when you stand up. Your feeling cold fingers and feet could be a sign of thyroid hypoactivity - or even an autoimmune illness.
It would not be a good idea to go to the ER. The doctors there don't have the time to work you up properly- they are excellent to deal with urgent medical problems. I recommend that you find an Internist or GP/Family Physician to be evaluated.
Let us know what's happening!

Those are common symptoms of histamine intolerance.

Antibiotics affect the good bacteria in your gut as well as the harmful bacteria and that in turn, negatively affects your entire digestive system.
