Peptic Ulcer?

Peptic Ulcer?

I have been back and forth to the doctor and gastroenterologist, and I'm still sick. The specialist told me I have the H. Pylori virus and he perscribed me Aciphex and Metronizadol. I had to stop taking the Aciphex because I was having reactions to it. I was having heart palpitations, anxiety and a feeling of fainting, so I stopped taking it this morning. Here's my symptoms; I wake up in the morning to nausea, cramping, burning in my stomach and stool that looks like coffee grounds. Also, 5 times in the past 2 weeks I have starting dry heaving but no vomit would come out. The dry heaving would come before I eat breakfast, in between meals and at night. Basically just at random times during the day. I have been exhausted no matter how much sleep I get. Now, I don't have any pain in my stomach. Just the burning and cramping associated with nausea. He perscribed me Prilosec instead so I'm going to start taking that and see how it goes. I also have never smoked, hardly ever drink alcohol and use to workout 3 times a week. The closest thing I found that goes with my symptoms is Peptic Ulcers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
