flights of stairs 1 to 2 times a night 3
to 4 days a week ( all I can handle yet).
Current medical status: I have lost 12-13
pounds in a month. My stomach has gotten
to look like I am 6 months pregnant. Home
pregnancy tests have come out negative.
I'm nauseated after eating and sometimes
without eating. My period only lasted 2
days this month (not usual). I am
regularly going to the bathroom without
difficulty.
Current medical treatment: I've been on
lisinopril for BP, Glucophage for NIDDM,
Prilosec for GERD. I've recently started
taking a multivitamin, vitamin c, iron and
echinacea to help boost my immune
system."
It doesn’t seem likely to me that
multivitamins, vitamin c, iron and
Echinacea can cause your stomach to become
so big. Your stomach may be large due to
obesity. On the other hand, obesity may be
due to PCOS. You can consult a
gynecologist about this condition, request
diagnosis and treatment alternatives.
