After taking painkillers for a pulled shoulder muscle I found bleeding in my stools, stopped taking the painkillers and visted my GP. He gave me a Pylori test which came back postive. After 7 months my breath test came back negative but I continue to have Dyspepsia. My dyspepsia has been made worse by continuing anxiety. My smear came back recently with CIN2 and I am waiting possible treatment. I also have anxiety about my Pylori and dyspepsia as my father died of esophagus and stomach cancer and had digestive problems for as long as i could remember. Early on in my treatment my doctor recommended I may need to go for an endosope but since my negative results this has fallen by the wayside. My GP advised me that my dyspepsia will go on it's own eventually. I haven't got much faith in my GP unfortuantely because I don't seem to get much feedback from him. What I really wanted to know was, considering my fathers history, is an endoscope warranted? should I push for this?
