What causes memory loss while suffering from ulcers in the esophagus?
human
Hello, I m a 41 yr old male. I ve had ulcers in my esophagus for a few yrs now with no major pain. But within the last two months I ve had diarrhea after every meal and it smells like sulfur. Not only that I get diarrhea but also get my left upper abdomen hurting really bad. My concentration level is low and I have a lot of mood swings. Memory loss is also present now.What am I going through?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Multiple symptoms you are experiencing is concerning for possibility of underlying immunosuppressive condition like HIV. Conditins like HIV can also contribute to memory loss(dementia). Please be advised to undergo HIV (ELISA, Western blot) and CD4 count testing. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
