Hi doctor Joshua,

I am a 17/yo healthly slim teen who recently was diagnosed with Gastritis (Acid Reflux). I was taking prevacid for a while,but I quit taking it because it wasnt working( I had a week left). My symptoms are pain in my lower ,and upper stomach,my stomach is always making noises after I eat,my chest sometimes gets sharp pains,im constantly naseuse. I also lost alot of wieght before I was diagnosed, I lost 13 lbs in two weeks .The most recent symptoms now that I have is that latley I have became very tired,I sleep about 12 hours a day,and its still not enough,I am constantly falling asleep all the time,also latley I have been having a hard time to inhale. Everytime when I take a breath it hurts,and its hard. All day I feel like I am about to faint. What should I do?,is this normal for patients with gastritis,or its getting worst?.

Happy Holidays
