stomach problem

Hello,

I have been experiencing stomach problems (increased stomach acid production), nausea, and circulatory disorders for the past 4 weeks. I can't think clearly anymore and have trouble remembering things. I have already been to the hospital for an ECG, ultrasound, extensive blood work, X-rays (stomach, chest), endoscopy, and tissue samples were taken. Everything came back normal. My condition is not improving. I occasionally have stomach cramps and migraines with aura. I have been a temporary worker at the same company for 4 years and have recently received a one-year contract. I am now more afraid of not being able to handle my job. I have been on sick leave until today. I am going crazy because I have repeated all the tests with my GP and everything came back normal, except for slightly elevated cholesterol. I am slightly overweight. I have tried to get psychotherapeutic help but the wait time is 8-9 weeks. I don't know what to do anymore.

Good day, I am happy to help you further.

Have you spoken to your primary care physician about the emotional stress? Also about possible sleep disorders?

Furthermore, I would strongly recommend that you get examined by an orthopedist with experience in atlas therapy, if the cause of your symptoms does not originate from the organs themselves but rather from the cervical spine.

Your primary care physician can also offer massages and heat therapy, which can also contribute to relaxation.

Please do not lose hope. They will be able to help you, but it is necessary to continue searching for the cause of your symptoms.

All the best and speedy recovery!

Kind Regards,

Dr. K. Hamann
