Question
Hello doctor,
Previously, I was diagnosed with acute stomach pain due to HP infection. After that, the doctor gave him medicine according to the regimen for 8 weeks. But I only took the medicine for 5-6 weeks, when the covid epidemic made it impossible for me to go to the doctor and continue taking the medicine. Recently, I have been feeling chest tightness, loss of appetite and weight loss in a short period of time. Please consult a doctor to help me what is the cause of chest tightness, loss of appetite, weight loss?

Hello,
With the question “What is the cause of chest tightness, loss of appetite, weight loss? , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
If you have symptoms of anorexia, weight loss, you should go to the hospital for a check-up immediately to be checked by a doctor to find out the cause of the disease, possibly due to diabetes, stress ...and re-evaluate your treatment regimen for HP bacteria is okay.
Usually the main drug in HP eradication will be the first 2 weeks of the regimen. If you've been taking it for 5-6 weeks, hopefully you've had enough HP-killing drugs. If you are afraid to go to the doctor, you can go to the pharmacy to buy medicine for stomach pain and take it for a few days. You should not buy an HP-killing prescription because the pharmacy will prescribe an HP-killer that is not currently needed for you.
If you still have questions about anorexia, weight loss, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
