I am a student and was drinking a lot of hard alcohol this summer (3times per week),and I was drinking large amounts of coffea aswell. I started to get nauseated the day after drinking at dinner which is rare for me because I have a"ironlike"stomach. The day after the hang over day i would be fine i could eat as normal . I returned to school and of course drank a couple of times with my freinds that i hadn't seen all summer. This time the nausea started to last 3 days then 4. And right as i said to myself after tonight i wont drink for a month, I got really sick at dinner and was retching and dry heaving. I went to my room and was sick all night. This time the nausea didnt go away after 3 days. When i ate I felt bloated and slightly nauseated.If i pushed it and kept eating i could induce a retching/dry heaving attack that i could not control if i backed off eating before this attack the food would digest with some discomfort after a while. I went to a doctor(tested for hep,liver enz,blood,urine stool all good) and he started me on pantoloc 80 mg a day and told me not to drink for 3 weeks and to come see him. I took the pantoloc faithfully but these feelings of being bloated while eating never subsided I went back to see the doc about 2 weeks rather concerened because i was starting to have alot of anxiety about the act of eating. he started me on paxil. What a night mere,Ive taken it before with no stomach effects, but this time i became so nauseous that i was haveing these retching attacks all day. I was missing alot of school and dropped from 145lbs to 133lbs in the 3 weeks while on paxil. I stoped the pantoloc thinking it was interacting with the paxil but this did not help. So i went off the paxil. I got into a gastroent 2 weeks ago who put me back on 40mg of pantoloc and told me he thinks i have gastritis and to see him in 2 months at which time he may scope me. These days about 3 months in I as before the paxil im not nauseated all the time however i am every time i eat its like after 15 bites the food that was just tasting so good is starting to taste bad and then the bloated feeling starts. I always have to relax and let the food digest for atleast 1/2 an hour before i start any social of physical activity or i get nauseous. Im taking paxil vitA,K,C zinc,glutamine and licorice root and bitters all on the advice of a naturalpathic doctor cause im grasping for straws. My main question is Ive noticed a vague link between when i preform "deadlifts" at the gym which is an exersice where you pick in my case 200 lbs from the ground to your waste,its known to cause hernia if done improperly. I added this exercise to my routine about 8 monthes ago and am wondering if i might have hiatel hernia. I have read the symtoms of some cases that sound similar,Im not going to do them for a couple of weeks to see if theres any change. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.(oh and i havnt drank alcohol or coffea since the day this started)
