I did an Endoscope and discover that I have mild gastritis. Luckily no ulcer cuz actually the doc did the scope to check if there is any ulcer.
The past 1 month is a total torture for me.
Some info about gastritis:
Gastritis is an inflammation of the lining of the stomach. There are many causes of gastritis:
- eating too much or too quickly
- eating high fat foods
- during a period of high stress, or ongoing stress
- being tired
- exercising right after eating
- smoking
- drinking alcohol
- infections, such as the helicobacter pylori and
- reactions to medicines like non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin or ibuprofen
The symptoms of gastritis may include the following:
- upper abdominal pain often made better OR worse by eating
- loss of appetite
- nausea with or without vomiting
- hiccups
- belching of gas
- feeling of fullness or burning in the stomach
So, as you see above… the symptoms… I EXPERIENCED IT FOR ONE WHOLE BLOODY MONTH!
Very irritating and it’s killing me you know… I totally have no appetite and can whole day never eat… only drink plain water… I nearly wanted to commit suicide, i’m not exaggerating, really felt that I would rather die than everyday feeling so ill…
I spent almost 1k on medical treatment… including consultations, medicines and the endoscopy. The endoscopy alone cost S$750+… and it was just putting a scope inside my gastric to see what’s inside and also the testing for H.pylori. Heng it’s negative… (H.pylori is a type of bacteria, researchers believe that H. pylori is responsible for the majority of peptic ulcers).
Although heart pain lar… spent my savings (that i xing ku saved de) on this illness… But bo bian also… health is more impt than anything else…
I finally understand the real meaning of happiness… A millionaire with health problems would not lead his life happily but a poor man with a clean bill of health would be enjoying his life everyday.
I reflected and realised that I was wrong in the past… LOL… Health is above anything. So what you’re pretty? So what you carry LV? So what you have bird nest and abalone everyday? So what you earn big bucks and live in private property? Without a good health, you’re nothing but a miserable person!
I am recovering… and i hope it won’t come back after it’s gone cuz ppl say gastritis do recur…
okay… I WISH EVERYONE GOOD HEALTH~ =)
