Hello, I am a 20 year old male firstly. I
have been suffering from stomach issues..
Lately and the only medication I am
currently on is xanax. The issue has been
on going since my parents got home from
alaska (23rd of august) with symptoms such
as pain in general.. Gas (tons of it)
burning feelings that seem to be at belly
button level or lower and sometimes higher
really depends im not exactly sure where
it is.. Some heart burn .. Some nasuea..
Some weight loss.. (though when you
don't feel great you tend to eat a bit
less and I am also eating healhtier more
veggies and fruit and no more soda or
sweets been like for 15 days) I will go
somedays with out passing a stool then
today I went 3 times and felt crampy.. I
also get these pains on my left and right
sides between the rib cabe and hips
(closer to the rib cage I believe) just
feels strange like bloating or something
to that degree.
I have been to my pcp (primary care phys)
and she has said gastritis ... Then I
went back and said maybe ibs? Not feeling
to confident in her.. I have an
ultrasound test and blood work next
wensday..
I have had a prior diganoses of slow
motility -for which I took reglan- by a gi
specialist though I am to old to see him
again. And I have a current diaganoses of
chronic anxiety and panic disorder.
I have not had any past surgeries the only
procedure that was invaise that I have
undergone was an endoscope when I was 15
which was done to assure there was no
blockage which there was not.
Any advice or opinions on what this might
be would be greatly appreciated.
Also this may be entirely unrelated -
however lately I have felt slightly off
balance / dizzy lately and everytime I
swallow my ears pop .. And also they pop
when I dont swallw *just random poping*

Hello, I do not think that your pain is
somehow connected to xanax as I know this
medicine quite well, but I am not doctor
of course. However I know that your
problems with stomach may be very much
connected to your feeling anxiety and if
xanax doesn't suit you, I may recommend
you a good link http://www.Pharmame
dics.Com/anxiety-c-3.Html that was
very useful for me and I hope may help
you!

My daughter has the same symptoms as you
do. I have been told that it might be
parasites. I am still in the process of
finding out but it sounds so simular to
her problems that I thought I would tell
you. I am just tossing out ideas but its
worth checking into.
