Questionable symptoms

[Help in Wi]

Hello,  I am having medical problems which my internal medicine dr.  doesn't seem to have any solutions.  I have been taking Prilosec for at least 13 years.  I was diagnosed with Celiac's 7 years ago. (Through a biopsy).  I have not followed a gluten free diet.  I was sharing a house with my husband, who would not go gluten free, he is now in a nursing home so it is just me in the house. The symptoms I am having are daily diahhera and if I eat or not I get sick to my stomach and sometimes will vomit. I basically have an upset stomach all of the time.  In the past couple of months I have been light headed when I walk even a few feet.  (I have to put my head down and breath until it passes. ) I am having trouble breathing also when this happens.  Also from my bottom of my ribs up to my arms and neck and head and ears I get pain which spreads up until I either sit or pass out.  Also during these episodes I get a hot/cold sensation in my ears.  It is making anything nearly impossible.  When I first starting to have just the breathing issues my dr. sent me for a stress test, it came back normal.  In the last month, I wrote to my dr. with my new symptoms and he told me to go to the e.r.  I had a chest x-ray and a ct of my lungs. Those were ok also.  The only thing they found is that I was anemic.  I have been taking Iron since, but I am getting worse if not the same.  I have an appointment on June 10th with my regular dr.  Unless they get a cancellation.

Does any of this sound familiar to anyone out there?  I suffer from OCD, Depression and anxiety.  Which I have been dealing with since childhood.  So I do not think it is from anxiety from the shut down.  Also I had a covid-19 test at the e.r. and that came back negative.

Thanks for any help or advise anyone has for me.

Welcome to the forum

Celiac disease can kill if you don't go gluten-free.  It is a slow killer but persistent.  I encourage you to switch to a gluten-free diet and stick with it 100%.  The gluten-free diet is the only treatment for celiac disease.
