Stomach Pain and Weight Loss

[DanInPain]

4 months ago, I returned from vacation in Malaysia and experienced shortness of breath and chest pains on the plane.  I was diagnosed with acid reflux and prescribed Nexium for 8 weeks.  The Nexium helped the chest pains but I then noticed pain in right upper portion of my abdomen.  Ultrasound came back negative for gallstones but showed fat in liver.  I was prescribed a low fat diet.  After 2 weeks of being on Nexium I had lost 10 lbs.  But I had terrible stomach cramps, bloating and flatulence.  After 6 weeks, I decided to go off the Nexium early and I was fine for a couple of weeks but then I started getting severe indigestion with gnawing stomach pains above the navel and the feeling crapping but nothing happens.  These symptoms occur at night.  I feel constipated at night but have regular BM in the morning.  No sign of blood in stool (light brownish color).  Also, the feeling of heartburn has returned but milder than before.  

I lost 17 lbs since returning from Malaysia 4 months ago.  I also developed a burning or itch in my rectum (like something's in there).  Worried abt cancer because I'm losing weight without trying hard.  I have a gastro appt in 2 days.

Questions
1)what should I tell the Gastro to address first.  Should have endoscope done to check for ulcers or cancer in the stomach.  
2) Should I be worried about the itch in my rectum?
3) Is the weight loss normal?

[Kevin Pho, MD]

To answer your questions:
1) I would consider upper GI causes first, including an ulcer or stomach disease.  An upper endoscopy with tests for H Pylori is recommended.  

2) Rectal itching can be due to parasitic infection.  Checking the stool for these should be considered.

3) Weight loss is not normal.  Hence, the need for the endoscopy to rule out possible cancer.

These options should be discussed with your personal physician.

Followup with your personal physician is essential.
