I have an ulcer!!!!!!!! OW1
Now looking at my diagnosis of esophagitis (when stomach acid and digestive enzymes reflux into the esophagus, which causes the tissues to become inflamed and ulcerated, often causing esophageal ulcers), I can't believe how much i've done wrong! I'm taking a antibiotic for my jaw which is known to cause ulcers, and not only that I've been taking aleve for work (which can increase risk of stomach bleeding), and NOT ONLY THAT but i've been wearing a back brace for work which causes increased chance of acid reflux. This pain is unbearable, and it just keeps throbbing from inside the vertical axis of my chest. I can't even drink water; even eating tums hurts my stomach (yes tums, the common antacid and stomach reliever found at your local grocery or drug store). I hope I don't get fired from my job if i'm absent for too long!
