I don't have any problems with my balance but I have a couple of other nasty symptoms with gastritis such as: blurred vision that comes and goes(not sure its from gastritis or from my dry eye or from anemia)pressure in the head and ears as well as tight throat when it gets really bad.These symptoms are the worst for me and I always dread when they start flaring up because they give me horrible anxiety and then anxiety might cause these as well and its a vicious cycle that is very hard to break.

JoHam, I also get the blurred vision that comes and goes, head pressure and clogged sensation in my right ear. I was just diagnosed with gastritis and I'm amazed that all of these symptoms are related to inflammation of my stomach. I also have the tingling shaky feeling...this also comes and goes. Is there anything that works for you?

Wow I thought I was going crazy:)You know how people react when you tell them your symptoms.They think you are going insane.lol.Im glad we can relate.I try to really take it easy as much as I can and I do automassage a very gentle circular massage with my hands on my face and neck and forehead.I put hot towel on my eyes that helps they glands to relax and produce more moisture.The most important thing is not to panic and know that this will eventually go away.It takes me a couple days to get back to normal.The calmer I am able to stay the faster I start feeling better.You can also try some guided relxation from youtube.Yoga helps me a lot as well.Done either on empty stomach in the am or before dinner or bedtime.

What about the tirednes. I am new into this business lolzz
i feels when ever i walk approx 20mins i feel tirednes.

Yes, I am also lethargic even after sleeping 6-8 hours. I've noticed that since I've been taking Gaviscon it's helping with many of my symptoms even the off balanced and weird head feeling. I refer to it as being dizzy, but it really isn't like the room is moving rather I'm lightheaded, brain fog, memory issues, and off balanced with walking.

Anyone dealing with feeling off balanced and what helped you?

OMG

I am also feeling off balanced, sometimes I think it's vertigo. I have blurred vision, pressure in ears and head, itchy ears, difficulty swallowing, and at least 2 times a week I throw up in the evening for no apparent reason.

Glad there are people who can relate!

I have the same symptoms angee7.Minus the throw up.What annoys me most is the blurry vision(I have extremely dry eye at times)and head and ear and throat pressure.It feels crazy sometimes

Sorry that anyone is experiencing this symptom. I also feel dizzy, although dizzy isn't the appropriate word... it is more like a light headed/woosie/spacey head feeling that affects my thinking, memory, vision and balance.

It still amazes me that all these symptoms are related to gastritis and when I try to explain it to others I feel that they don't fully understand. My GI never mentioned anything about off balanced, dizziness, nervous feeling, muscle and joint aches....She only mentioned nausea, bloated, stomach ache...

"... light headed/woosie/spacey head feeling that affects my thinking, memory, vision and balance..."

I felt like this when I tried to get off my ppi & went on to 450mg Zantac.

It disappeared completely when I switched back to 30mg Lansoprazole + 300mg Zantac.

Just saying that it could be a side-effect from a med rather than the gastritis itself.

Faith7: how long you are into this. Did u also feels heat sensation or burning sensation in arms, leg or feet

Hello -
I have had vertigo in the past but have gotten it under control by eliminating foods I am sensitive to. My daughter began to have the same trouble, bad vertigo even when she turned her head too fast, at the same age it began for me. This started after a bout of gastritis that lasted her about a month. At my urging she eliminated gluten from her diet and within 4 days her vertigo stopped. Her gastritis has not returned.
I have a hypothesis on this.
When we have gastritis, be it regular or autoimmune based, our stomachs are obviously inflammed and delicate. There is also pretty common knowledge that it causes the phenomenon known as "leaky gut" where micro bits of what we eat get through the stomach wall and into our systems where they don't belong. If those are foods we are genetically prone to be sensitive to, it's even worse with gastritis.
I have had my Alcat sensitivites done and gluten and glaidin are both serious sensitives for me. Logically they would be for my mini-me daughter as well.
So, I think if you know yourself or others in your family to have sensitivities it is that much more important to avoid those foods or anything like them. For me that means not just gluten grains but any grains at all. If I eat white rice I flare up for days.
Other common sensitivities could be nightshade veggies, lactose, casein, msg (huge for vertigo), artificial sweeteners (all).
This is just one thought, obviously it could also be a med, sinus issues, etc.
Just putting my experience out there.

Mobeen, it is more like a tingling shaky sensation. No burning. Sometimes achy in my joints. I began experiencing this when I took Prilosec and Pylera for H. Pylori bacteria. It was worst during the treatment and the side effect continued after completing the treatment which was over 3 weeks ago. It's not as intense as before so I do see improvement. Was told by the physician assistant that this could be from the Flagyl antibiotic which is one of two antibiotics in Pylera. Can also be from Prilosec withdrawal based upon my research. Regardless, I just want to feel "normal again".

Nina1959 we have a lot of the same philosophy. Especially about the leaky gut syndrome. I truly believe that is the biggest issue with my gut since I will experience feeling lightheaded after eating certain foods...although now with gastritis it occurs when I eat.

Had endoscopy done a week ago and waiting on biopsy results. Dr. also checking for celiac. I'm making changes to my way of eating, which has been fairly healthy since being diagnosed with IBS years ago, but I guess needs so tweaking. Had started eating raw vegetables and drinking decaf. coffee prior to this flare up. Needless to say these have been eliminated from my diet.

Hey thank god im not the only one with these symptoms , i had a very bad digestion problem i started shaking out of control then like 20 mins after i trew up and the shakingness started going away , but ever since that day ive been having alot of stomach pain dizzines, blurry vision , when i walk i feel off balanced head pressure ect , i went to the hospital cause i had no idea what was going on , they checked my liver , kidneys , gallblader, pancrea , thy also did blood test , and everything came out perfect so the doctor told me that all of my symptoms could be that i have gastritis , so i started drinking a balsam thats called balsam of tchaikovsky , its natural and dosent have side affects i really would recomend this to everyone that has gastritis or any digestion issue this will literly cure all of this issue , i take one dessert spoon a day asoon as i wake up it tastes horrible but its worth it .. the best way to take it is have a real cold glass of water and add the balsam into the water (always put it on the spoon first) then your going to see it get a little hard and thats when you take it . I hope this helps all of you i really hate having this feeling so hopefully it all ends soon !

I have some of the same symptoms occurring approx. 1 hour after I eat. This is my second bout of gastritis and my gastro dr. said I am experieincing a Vagus nerve issue. This might also be what some of you are experiencing when you say that you are feeling off balance, dizzy, etc. She said that when something irritates the stomach lining, the Vagus nerve gets irritated and reacts. She has me taking 12.5 mg of Zoloft (an anti-anxiety med) to calm the nerve down. Had to do the same thing with bout 1 of gastritis last year and it worked. Was only on the med for a few months. The only difference is that I have now eliminated dairy, gluten, eggs, corn, soy and sugar from my diet, I believe leaky gut has a huge play in this and I'm curious to see how my body responds going forward. Hoping that the lifestyle change will result in no more gastritis and Vagus nerve issue going forward. Best wishes to all in healing this!
