Looks like you have allergy problem. It could be due to nearby sources.
Here are some checklist to rule out other sources of infection
1. Nose and sinus - frequent nose block, discharge
2. Dental caries - get filling done
3. Acid problem - burping, or chest burn, pain stomach- avoid lying down after meals for atleast 2 hours
4. Tonsil - big in size with frequent white discharge
hope this helps. Also do regular follow up for your ovarian cancer. Reach out anytime of you ne...more

Actually 3 years ago I took 2 ibuprofen pills 400 mg and suffered severe stomach pain next day. I looked up online and misdiagnosed this as gerd as painkillers is the cause of gerd. But actually it was possible gastritis or ulcer. I immediately stopped ibuprofen and took rabeprazole as an antacid. Now the thing is that for gastritis/ulcer, it is important to have a continuous therapy of ppi for 2-3 weeks. But I thought that 2 pills can not damage stomach that much. I used to take rabeprazole but with a gap of 1-2 days only when I felt pain in stomach. So basically used as" as needed" basis for symptomatic relief. This was my first mistake. But the bigger picture to my surprise was that my acidity and stomach pain issues lasted for about 6 to 8 months. And I used ppi as needed as I knew its a safe medication. But never did a course for 1-2 months with the medicine. I am having anxiety about 2 things. Question 1- did this happen because stomach lining could not repair due to inadequate acid suppression? Is stopping nsaid altogether not effective enough for stomach lining to repair itself without the introduction of ppi or h2 blocker in the body? Question 2- I regret that I did not see a doctor for this problem, later came to know that h pylori could also be responsible. Final question- if h pylori bacteria is not eradicated and leads to ulceration and person just takes occasional antacids for relief, and I assume the case becomes worst --progresses to gi bleeding or perforation. What is the ultimate prognosis. Is there any lifetime compromise with the digestion process. Are there patients eventually saved with endoscopic stoppage of blood followed by antibiotics and ppi suppression to kill the bacteria. Or vagotomy (removal of stomach) is also required in extreme cases. And also if any mortality/ death due to this event? Kindly enlighten me. I have faith in you. And also please comment on stomach lining ability to repair itself after stopping nsaids, but not providing enough acid suppression (assuming there is continuous irritation of hydrochloric acid on the affected inflamed/ulcerated area from time to time). Additional information - I never smoked or drank alcohol in my life.

lybrate-user, you are thinking too much, gastritis after nsaid is very common esp in chronic use that's is the reason they are combined with ppi, gastric ulcer leading to bleeding and perforation are not very common it is usually seen with chronic smoking habit. You should not worry much just relax and in case your mind is not getting settled go and get an endoscopy done for your satisfaction.

Mr. Lybrate-user, the problem as described appears to be plantar fasciaitis. This occurs due to inflammation of plantar fascia. Occasional pain killers are useful. But most importantly certain exercises like standing on toes, walking a few steps on toes, stretching the ligament by pulling the foot towards you while keeping the lower limb straight, with a belt and holding it in that position for 20 counts, doing the same for a number of time daily, can help. Spot jogging on toes can also help. Us...more

If you are experiencing side effects, please stop taking the drug immediately. Ibuprofen can be very dangerous especially if you take an overdose of it. Please visit a doctor and get the correct dosage of the right drug for you after informing him about other medical conditions, if you have any.
