Is chest pain a symptom of H. Pylori?

[Pierre]

I tested positive for h. pylori about 5 months ago - took mastic gum for two months along with aloe vera, probiotics, and some l-glutamine and thought I was clear but now I still have symptoms like stomach gurgling and chest pain, which is worrisome. I seriously doubt I have heart problems because I'm skinny, young and had blood work done this year which doesn't suggest any problems. I get these week-long episodes of chest tightness located right in the heart area. It affects my breathing and makes me feel weak like I just can't do anything. Then it goes away for a week or two only to randomly return. It's frustrating.
Do you reckon this is h. pylori manifesting itself? Why would a stomach bacteria affect the heart?

Since I have the lowest level insurance plan, I can't afford the visits just to have my doctor prescribe meds. I've always been a proponent of alternatives like mastic gum in this case. Plus it's cheaper for me to buy a bunch of supplements than pay $90 for a visit! I'm thinking of trying Monolaurin next along with Manuka Honey.

Its been almost 5 months for me since i got sick i been HP free for 8 weeks now. It takes time for the body to heal after the bug i gone ...it left me gastritis and some reflux that gives me chest pain/burning and stomach pains/gurgeling/bloating...i have good days and bad days but it can only get better :).....u should see a Gi doctor and see whats going on , cause guessing and just taking supplements wont help u, if u cant adress the real issue ....i know it can be frustrating but if u have something like gastritis or reflux u should leave it untreated :) hope u get well soon ...

Pierre,

Your symptoms match to some extend - GERD or/with Hiatal Hernia. Could be Reflux from H-pylori. Some say that the hearburn is not always burning sensation, could be just pain.
Unfortunately just doing an endoscopy or Barium x-ray you can figure that out.
Most people go to ER believing that is heart problem just to find out that is a gastro problem.
Most of the time GERD/Reflux
You can try to see if taking anti-acid medication is going away, this is what they do in ER, if there is no heart problem.

I was just diagnosed with H. Pylori. I was having left upper stomach pains, chest pains and shortness of breath. It is very scary. If I take Rolaids Multi Symptom, that helps. I haven't taken treatment for it yet.

If you don't have good insurance, try eating raw minced garlic cloves (maybe 1 or 2) twice a day with your meals. You should also take some garlic supplements to increase potency (for example 1000mg or 1500mg once a day). This should help you get rid of Helicobacter Pylori. This is a natural, safe, and inexpensive way to get rid of Helicobacter Pylori. Make sure to keep the treatment for a while. Hope this helps.

if im laying down and go to get up im in alot of pain all above my belly button, and on top of that i havnt felt great ...

i finally cleared up the h pylori after months of antibiotics and misery with mastic gum, aloe vera, and some probiotics for a couple of weeks and all my symptoms dissapeared within the first week i belieive that the mastic gum is what did the trick, its a little expensive but worth it. Good luck to everyone.

Connie so glad you got free from Hpylori. I just got my test results back and I am free also. I couldnt take the antibiotics. I thought I was going to die taking them. After six days i quit. My stomach was in terrible shape. I saw the photos from the endoscopy and was close to bleeding ulcers. The Dr. said it was erosion. I couldnt hardly stand to eat cause afterwards bloating, discomfort and burning. I was not able to take aloe vera cause it would make my stomach burn. The whole time I was on protonix along with nautural things I did. The first four weeks I used a teaspoon of Manuka honey TID and GaStro health from the Health food store. The Gastro Health says on the bottle it will help with H pylori and it has as the main ingredient Licorice Root extract. I took two caps TID. After four weeks my stomach was in good enough shape to add Oil of Oregano that kills bacteria. I took it three drops TID. I orderd the Oregano oil from Amazon from a fellow in Greece. It is the theraputic grade with no olive oil dilution. I was reccomended this product by a consultant. It took a steady taking this and probably cost around 20 dollars per week but I stayed with it and I feel great again. I am still taking the Oil of Oregano once a day now.
Hope everyone who has Has H pylori gets better. It is awful stuff
