Answered on 23rd Dec '24
Indigestion can indeed be a common adverse effect of some antidepressants. Gaviscon syrup is generally safe and may relieve the pain caused by acid reflux. However, it is always better to check with your healthcare provider before you take any kind of medication. They can give you individualized advice based on your particular antidepressant and general health. However, try some habits like eating less and staying away from triggers like spicy foods.

No pain in right lower abdomen. But have gol bladder stone . Need operation ?
Male | 55
Holding a gallstone and not feeling pain in the right lower abdomen for some time is a bit tricky. Gallstones can obstruct the bile duct and cause you to be seriously ill. Symptoms like yellowing of the skin, intolerable pain, or having a fever should be rushed to the doctor. Surgery to remove the gallbladder may be required to allow you to remain healthy. It is highly recommended to consult a gastroenterologist to have more information regarding this.

I've been having constipation problems for about a year or a little more now. I don't have any serious signs of IBD nor chron's disease. I constantly have to wait about 2 days to empty my bowel. I don't quite understand what causes this problem, but I also have a habit of sucking my stomach in a lot, so maybe could that be it?
Female | 18
When you pull your tummy in a lot, it can be tough for your guts to work well. This might result in constipation. Relax your belly muscles and try to drink more water, and eat lots of high-fiber foods such as fruits and vegetables. Also, doing regular physical activity can help.

My 3 year old boy suffering from stomach ache since a week ago I have consulted a doctor he suggested me to to give Anafortan syrup for severe abdominal pain After giving Anafortan syrup also there is no relief from stomach ache My question is can I give colic acid after giving Anafortan 5 hrs after
Male | 3
Stomach aches in children can be caused by infections, constipation, or food sensitivities. Anafortan is a medicine meant to relieve pain, but it may not always work. Combining Anafortan with Colic Acid can sometimes be unsafe. It’s important not to experiment with medicines, especially those for children. Instead, talk to a gastroenterologist before giving your child any new medicine. The doctor can suggest safer and more effective ways to help your child feel better.

Hi I am 46 years old male. I have dignous gallstones 15 days back at that time my sgpt and sgot was normal. But after 10 days I redo LFT test now Sgpt 114 and sgot 46. I want to operate gallstones. Please provide me best suggestion.
Male | 46
Gallstones can lead to discomfort, especially when a person has a fat diet. A liver enzyme SGPT and SGOT rise may indicate that the gallbladder has become overactive. Cholecystectomy is a popular and efficient method in the treatment of gallstones. It is known as a cholecystectomy and can relax your symptoms. You should consider this choice and work with your gastroenterologist to find the best treatment for your condition.

Gas formation,bloating heaviness after meal ie. Post meal fullness.please suggest remedy.
Male | 65
It looks like you're experiencing gas, bloating, and a feeling of fullness after eating. This could be due to eating too quickly, swallowing air, or consuming foods that are hard to digest. To reduce these symptoms, try eating more slowly, avoid fizzy drinks, and include probiotic foods like yogurt in your diet. Drinking peppermint tea might also help soothe your stomach.

Hiccups are caused by a muscle under the lungs called the diaphragm getting agitated is the main reason behind it. This may be caused by the fact that you eat faster, are stressed, or swallow a lot of air.

If they persist for more than 48 hours, you should see a doctor.

My aunt has kidney problems. She undergoes kidney dialysis twice a week. She has worms in her intestines. He started taking exantal 500 mg along with vermox 500 mg to treat worms. After taking the medicines, there are worms in their intestines, they are coming out in thousands through the stool. So how long will they have to take the pills they are taking? The bugs are very small and there are black bugs along with big white bugs. Please tell me if there is any other treatment for this.
Female | 50
Your aunt has intestinal worms, but the good news is that medications like Exantal and Vermox can help get rid of them. It’s normal for worms to appear in the stool after taking the medication. She may need to continue taking the pills for a few more days to ensure all the worms are gone. If she still has worms after completing the treatment, it's important to consult the doctor for further options.

Male | 18
During the creatine loading phase, bloating and stomach discomfort can occur due to increased water retention. If you're feeling irritation on your right side, consult a professional doctor like a gastroenterologist, as creatine supplementation is generally not associated with side specific irritation.

The ultrasound gave good news for your liver, gall bladder, pancreas, spleen, and aorta. Let's now move on to your kidneys. You have cysts in both kidneys which are small lumps filled with fluid. Cysts are very often harmless and don't cause any symptoms. Monitor them during your regular check-ups to ensure they remain the same size since they can cause problems if they change size or become unstable. If they do, visit a nephrologist.

The bacteria might be causing inflammation leading to chest pain, back pain, or discomfort in the upper left part of your tummy. Additionally, pelvic and bellyache could also result from the accumulation of gas which causes bloating as well. To reduce these signs follow the doctor’s prescription on how to deal with H.pylori. In addition, take small meals more frequently; avoid foods that make you gassy, and keep drinking water.

The way you experience these moments of vomiting is programmed by several causes such as stomach infections, food sensitivities, and stress. You can also try eating small, frequent meals throughout the day and staying away from spicy or greasy foods. Besides that, the consumption of a considerable amount of water and staying adequately hydrated is very important. To find the root cause you can also consult a gastroenterologist.
