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!

Is Helicobacter pylori gastritis contagious?

Hi doctor! I was infected with HP virus and the endoscopy result the doctor recorded as gastritis, unfortunately the information about HP was not recorded directly in the results, only in the endoscopic image, due to subjective reasons. I kissed my son and shared a glass of water with my wife. Other relatives have almost nothing to do with eating, I change the tip of my chopsticks when picking up food. I am very worried my little 8 month old son will be infected. As for me, after taking the medicine, my stomach seems to be much better, after a month I go back to the doctor. The doctor asked me if HP infection gastritis is contagious and should I take my children and my wife to get tested for HP, if so, which test option is most suitable! Thank you!
