Question
Hello doctor, I just had a gastroenterology examination, a gastroscopy, and I was diagnosed with a positive HP disease, mild antral congestive heart failure. Currently, I am using HP treatment regimen. Please tell me why when I take the medicine, I feel tired in the back 2 parts, tired. Do I need to go to the hospital to have my health checked? I thank you!

Hi, antibiotics for HP bacteria can cause side effects as you describe. After 2 weeks of taking the full dose of the drug, if you stop taking the medicine, the symptoms will disappear. If your symptoms are severe, you should see your doctor again.
