lots of anxiety that i could have stomach cancer.
hello to whom may be reading!
i’m 20f and have severe anxiety that i could have stomach cancer. i seen my dr the other day for nausea with and without eating, unexplained weight loss while i still ate the same, acid reflux and loss of appetite/not being able to finish all my meals. my diet hasnt always been the best and i consumed a lot of fast food throughout my teen years but i solely regret it now. i was seen a couple times at the ER over the past few years for what they said was GERD. at the start of 2023 i had been vomiting a lot after eating take out but it gradually went away i wanna say in the middle of 2025. i weighed about 130 in 2024, around november/December 2025 i weighed about 117/115, now i weigh 104. Dr said it could be peptic ulcers and they drew blood for a
•HIV 1/2 Antigen & Antibody, Reflex (Differential Supplemental Assay)
• HCV Antibody, W/Reflex Quant RT-PCR
• Quantiferon TB Gold Plus (QFT® - Plus)
• Prolactin
• TSH (Rflx FT4)
and most came back normal. i was prescribed to take 40mg omeprazole for two weeks and if my symptoms persist even after my labs were cleared, they will do an endoscopy but in the mean time i’m severely overthinking about my weight loss while i’m still eating normally. could i just be overthinking? i’ve seen heart burn is a common symptom which i don’t have but i just want to make sure i recognize it before anything happens.
