Last week Thursday have completed the triple therapy 7 day course of 2 antibiotics (Amoxicillin 1g and clarithromycin 500mg) and Pantoprazole 40mg twice a day.
There has not been much improvement in the acidity so far.
I get this feeling that something is stuck in my throat and get tightness in the chest. It comes and goes and gets better temporarily with Rennie or Gaviscon Advance
Just wanted to know from others who may have gone through this treatment:
Did the triple therapy work for you?
how soon did your symptoms resolved post eradication therapy?
Did you have to continue with any PPI for sometime after therapy,?

I had this two months ago and had amoxicillin and metronitozole still on the 40 mg omeprozole two months later still feel I’ve got some of the symptoms of evening bloating etc no idea how long it takes
I think the endoscopy should be fine. Its not as bad as you think. Just take the spray, close your eyes and let the expert do his job. You will be fine
But You should ideally stop omeprazole 2 weeks before the endoscopy so try to go on 20mg daily for a week and then stop from next week Thursday if you can.
Thanks tho it’s a worry to think they will find, silly I guess but I’m not good with hospitals. They told me to end it 5 days before but tbh I’ve been in them 40s 8 weeks this weekend and that’s all I’ve got I think I’m just going to end them in a few day’s as I’ve had enough of them
I think it is advisable to gradually reduce the dose otherwise you can get acid rebound affect for a few days or so. May be try having alternative days before stopping
I been having upper stomach pains for a month. The h pylori breath test came back positive,my gp got me started on the 7 days triple treatment and im into the fifth day. Omeprazole clarytromycin and metrodinazole. No much improvement so far. Cant sleep well pain runs you down and getting scare to eat as it brings pain after a period of temporary relief. My symptoms are upper abdomen pain left right and center. Fullness and pressure feeling in stomach.This activate the vagus nerve and makes me anxious wich make me want to rush to ER. Had endoscopy 9 years ago and diagnosed with gastritis and duodenitis cured with triple treatment but has come back. Gastroscopy back then was not bad at all i was fully awake i only got the throat spray. I m schedule for another one within a month but im a nervous wreck just thinking about it despite the first one went well.
