Stress, indegestion, and STIs… how can I figure all of this out?

Well, last week I was diagnosed with Trichomoniasis. I completed my treatment, but I don’t entirely feel better. Most of the horrible symptoms are gone, but I’m still left with an itch. This is stressing me out really badly, as I’m sure you can imagine!

I haven’t been able to eat, I’ve been tired, I’ve been depressed. Last night, I kind of passed out in my bed after eating only four or five bites of some Chicken Shawarma (which I NEVER eat). I woke up this morning with the worst indigestion and heart burn I have ever had in my life. In fact, I don’t normally get indigestion or heart burn, and it’s hard for me to even say for sure whether or not that’s what these are, but I think it is. My throat hurts a bit, too, mostly when I swallow. Could it just be a random reaction to the chicken? Could it be my high level of stress? Or do you think that it’s an STD that is causing me to feel this way?

I went to the doctor last Tuesday (not the one that just passed, but the one before that), and he examined my body and told me I only had Trichomoniasis, but it’s possible things have developed since then. Can someone help me sort this out?

PS – The partner who gave me Trichomoniasis has been my sex partner for about 1 – 2 months. I haven’t been having sex since I was diagnosed. The partner is a Black male, 23 years old, living on the east coast, and I am a female, same age, same location. I know this is the LGBT section, but often, LGBT people are knowledgeable and friendly, moreso than the regular STD forums. Please understand!

Also, do you think I still have trichomoniasis, and my treatment was not effective enough, or do you think I got a yeast infection from the antibiotic, Flagyl? Flagyl is not notorious for giving yeast infections. What else can I get tested for? I’ve been tested for chlamydia and gonorrhea, and the doctor told me he didn’t see bumps on my vagina. What could be wrong with me??

And, does the lack of appetite and indegestion sound like just stress, or some other STD? Please help me guys.
I’m going to Planned Parenthood clinic on Saturday morning. I have no insurance, so I can’t see a better doctor sooner, or I would. I was on the phone for the better half of my evening trying to find a cheap, 24 hour walk-in clinic I could visit, but there is no such thing. That’s why I am here to discover people’s opinions about this, or maybe talk to someone who has had a similar experience.
