How can H-Pylori effect the heart?
448908
"A UAB researcher is investigating a potentially significant link between a very common stomach bacteria and the incidence of heart disease among African-Americans. The bacteria, helicobacter pylori or H. pylori, is found in the lining of the stomach."\n\n"Several studies have recently reported an association between ischaemic heart disease and Helicobacter pylori infection."\n\nBased on scientific studies, there does appear to be a link between the two but the link is a weak one.  Some people who have a severe episode of H. pylori can go on to develop heart disease but that is not always the case.  The effect of H. pylori on the heart depends on many factors.  Listed below are sites with much more info on this subject.  Hope that helps!

Have you been tested for the bacteria "H Pylori"? Its a that you can get and it causes stomach ulcers, it is cured with an anti-biotic.

Often times, when people see me drinking a cup of coffee -- they give the warning "You shouldn't drink coffee, it will give you ulcers." The thinking, until recently, was that excess stomach acid caused ulcers and that coffee would contribute to the stomach acid. Recent studies however show that most ulcers are caused by a particular bacteria, namely Helicobacter pylori . Those ulcers can be cured easily with antibiotics. An important distinction to make is that while coffee or spicy foods for that matter don't cause the ulcers, they may serve to aggravate existing ulcers.

Well my father didnt go to the doctor because he kept saying "its just bloomin heart burn, stuff doctors" then one night at the dinner table that was the last time he complained about it, he had a massive heart attack and didnt even make it to hospital. Please please just go to the doc and maybe if its indigestion they could treat that and you wouldnt get pains anymore.

Bacterial infection called Helicobacter Pylori.\n\nThe treatment includes an antibiotic+anti-secretory agent.\n\nThe treatment may last 2-3 months.

It may have to do with your heart.  You should go to the doctor, so that he can check it out.  My grandfather had that and shortly after had a heart attack... also, it could be a serious ulcer... but only the doctor can really tell you.

Helicobacter pylori is a spiral shaped bacterium that lives in the stomach. It has a unique way of adapting to the harsh, acidic environment. Since its discovery back in 1983, it has been studied rather extensively and believed by many in the allopathic medical community to play an important role in the development of gastritis and peptic ulcers. Consequently, there has been a fundamental shift in mainstream ulcer care from the widespread use of antacids (which temporarily alleviated some symptoms, but did nothing to address the root cause of the problem) to the "treatment" of gastritis and ulcers with potent antibiotics intended to kill H. pylori. The results of this approach, however, have been mixed.\n\nH. pylori and its effects on the human body are still very poorly understood. While promoting the use of a combination of two or more strong antibiotics to get rid of H. pylori, the pharmaceutical industry and mainstream medical science still cannot explain why only a small portion of those "infected" with these bacteria ever develop even a single peptic ulcer, while the vast majority of these "infected" individuals fail to develop any symptoms whatsoever. In some countries, as many as 90 percent of the population are "infected" with H. pylori, yet the frequency of gastritis and peptic ulcer disease in these countries is rather limited. The mechanisms of H. pylori transmission and spreading have not been ascertained, either. Nobody seems to know for sure how these bacteria spread from one person to the next.

when you eat foods your stomach takes the nutrients and put it in the blood stream.Then the heart pumps it to the muscle fibers

Gastric ulcers are usually caused by acid eating away at your stomach lining.  Drugs exists that lower the amount of acid in your stomach. Examples of these drugs are Histamine-2 Receptor Antagonists (Zantac, Pepcid) or Proton Pump Inhibitors (Prilosec, Prevacid, Protonix, Nexium).  Ulcers can also be a side effect of drugs.  The most common drugs that cause this are NSAIDs (Advil, Motrin, Aleve).  Talk to your doctor to see if you are taking any medications that could be contributing to your ulcer.  If you can get rid of an ulcer but it comes back later you may have to stay on acid lowering drugs to prevent them from coming back.\n  \nUlcers can also be caused by bacteria called Heliobacter pylori.  Your doctor can give you antibiotics to kill this.

The main symptom of ulcers (peptic ulcers, that means in your stomach) is pain, that tends to disappear after meals. I think the first thing you need to do is find out if you are helicobacter positive. Helicobacter pylori is a bacteria that is associated with ulcers. The test is very simple, called breath test, and can be done even at the chemists. If that is positive they'll have to look into your stomach at the hospital using endoscopy.

There has been research which show that people do have H.pylori in the oral cavity(mouth), but that doesn't cause reinfection in these people. So if you find H pylori in the mouth, you don't have to worry. \nHas your H pylori infection been confirmed?\nDid your doctor retest for Hpylori after the treatment?\nTreatment should be 1-2antibiotic + Bismuth+ proton pump inhibitor for 10-14 days. it can be repeated. \nBut after the treatment -- you should have retest done for proof that the infection has been cleared.\nYou should know that H pylori is not the only cause of gastritis and gastro-duodenal ulcers? So treatment should be for the cause.

Heartburn is also called acid reflux. It is caused by acid from the stomach running back up the esophagus. It isn't a symptom of a heart attack.
