Hello doctor! I have stomach pain in the epigastrium, severe pain with vomiting, weight loss, anorexia for about 1 week. I went to the doctor, had an endoscopy, had a blood test, and the doctor concluded that I had gastritis with an anxiety disorder. The doctor said my condition was mild and not dangerous and gave me medicine to let me go home. I have been taking the drug for 1 week, the symptoms of severe pain in the epigastrium and nausea have decreased significantly, but every morning and evening, my stomach is still bustling as if it is very uncomfortable. The skin is pale and the body is thin. Eating is still very poor, there is no appetite but try to eat 5-6 small meals according to the instructions of the doctor. A few days ago, I had solid stools, normal color, but 2 days ago I had solid stools with dark green color, bad smell with a bit of sebum. The doctor asked me if I had any dangerous complications or was it just a normal problem during the treatment? I am very worried right now. Please consult a doctor.

Hello, thank you for submitting your question about the website, with the diagnosis of gastritis with anxiety disorder as you described, it is not a serious illness. About bowel disorders can be a side effect of drugs to treat the stomach. I check the prescription for Bismuth because this medicine makes the stools black, if symptoms persist, you should check again because there may be other diseases.
