NHS stomach ulcer treatment H pylori NSAID PPI
For a stomach or duodenal ulcer, the usual treatment is:
- A proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) to reduce acid and allow healing, such as omeprazole, pantoprazole, esomeprazole, or lansoprazole. A clinician usually prescribes a course lasting about 4 to 8 weeks.
- Antibiotics if Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is present. This needs a specific multi-drug prescription, chosen according to local antibiotic resistance and any penicillin allergy.
- Stop ulcer-causing medicines where possible, especially NSAID painkillers such as ibuprofen, naproxen, diclofenac, and aspirin. Do not stop prescribed aspirin or blood thinners without speaking to the prescriber.
- An antacid or alginate can give temporary symptom relief, but it does not treat the underlying cause.
The main causes are H. pylori and regular NSAID use; treatment often includes antibiotics and acid-reducing medicine, as described by the NHS stomach-ulcer guidance.
Get urgent emergency care now for vomiting blood or coffee-ground material, black sticky stool, sudden severe abdominal pain, fainting, or marked weakness. These can indicate bleeding or perforation.
If you mean a mouth ulcer, skin ulcer, or a diagnosed ulcer with a report, the medicine is different. Tell me the ulcer location, your age, symptoms, and any painkillers or other medicines you take.
Can you make prescription

I can help prepare a draft for a licensed clinician to review, but I cannot issue a real prescription. The correct treatment depends on whether this is a stomach/duodenal ulcer, whether H. pylori is present, NSAID use, allergies, pregnancy, and warning symptoms.

- Ulcer type: stomach/duodenal, mouth, or skin/leg?
- Any black stool, vomiting blood, sudden severe abdominal pain, dizziness, or fainting?
- H. pylori test result: positive, negative, or not tested?
- Age, medication allergies, pregnancy/breastfeeding status, and current medicines, especially ibuprofen, aspirin, naproxen, blood thinners, or steroids.
If there is black stool, blood in vomit, or severe sudden pain, seek emergency care instead of using a home prescription.

NHS dizziness causes urgent symptoms stroke chest pain
“Giddiness” can mean different things, so there is no single main cause:
- Spinning sensation (vertigo): often due to an inner-ear balance problem, especially benign positional vertigo. It is commonly triggered by turning in bed or moving the head.
- Feeling faint or lightheaded: often due to dehydration, low blood pressure, missing meals/low blood sugar, anemia, fever, or medication effects.
- Unsteadiness while walking: may relate to inner-ear, nerve, vision, or neurological problems.
- Anxiety or fast breathing can also cause lightheadedness and tingling around the mouth/fingers.
A medical text distinguishes dizziness into vertigo, near-fainting, imbalance, and vague lightheadedness, because the likely cause differs for each. Recent evidence on dizzy patients also emphasizes checking for less common but serious causes such as stroke (PMID: 41950225).
Seek emergency help immediately if giddiness begins suddenly with face drooping, arm weakness/numbness, speech trouble, double vision, severe headache, inability to stand, chest pain, shortness of breath, fainting, or black/bloody stools. The NHS stroke symptoms guide lists dizziness with sudden neurological symptoms as an emergency.
For recurring symptoms, a clinician may check blood pressure sitting and standing, pulse, blood sugar, hemoglobin for anemia, and medicines.

There is no single safe medicine for “giddiness” until the cause is known. Please do not take vertigo tablets on your own if you have fainting, chest pain, weakness, speech trouble, severe headache, or black stool.
Reply with:
- Is it spinning or feeling like you may faint?
- How long has it lasted and is it triggered by turning your head or standing up?
- Your age, blood pressure/diabetes history, and current medicines.
If it is new, severe, recurrent, or you actually faint, get examined today.
