symptoms come and go, but are severe when they occur symptoms started three days ago and got worse today symtoms include severe presssure, cramping and tension around the belly button area and middle of the abdomen, swollen abdomen, minor tenderness and soreness, intense discomfort could these symptoms be caused by my changes in diet and stress levels? why do thy symptoms come and go?

Female | 20

The symptoms you're going through, namely tightness and cramps in the stomach, could be connected to changes in diet as well as stress levels. When stressed out, our body shows it mostly around the abdomen area. Symptoms coming and disappearing could be because of different levels of stress at different times and how the body handles various foods. Use some relaxation methods; keep a diary of what you eat so that you may know the foods that set off the symptoms.

i have been experiencing pain in right side of chest from several days and i am feeling it incresed in last few days but i am also increasingly burping from last few days and as i burp out few times i feel relived in pain how is it related ? and do i have any heart issue?

Male | 19

You might be suffering from a problem called acid reflux. This is the situation when the acid in the stomach comes back to the esophagus and causes chest pain. Belching is maybe a physical way for your body to relieve itself from a bad condition. On the other hand, heart problems have different symptoms such as chest feeling narrow and shortness of breath. Besides that, you can eat small portions of food and stay away from hot and fatty foods. If the pain persists, go to a gastroenterologist for a correct diagnosis.

I am 18 years I have acidity in last 4to 5 days

Female | 18

Acid reflux is a common culprit for experiencing chest or throat discomfort, and it occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus. Common factors that trigger it include spicy foods, fat-laden items, caffeine, and stress. Being cautious to eat smaller portions at a time, staying away from irritants, and not lying down after eating are some possible remedies. Drinking water is another home remedy that might work. If your symptoms are getting out of control or persisting, do not wait and get the advice of a gastroenterologist. You will get the proper diagnosis and a customized plan from the doctor.

Anal fissures are hemorrhoids, that can trigger such symptoms as pain, itching, and bleeding. Usually, they are caused by straining during bowel movements, which can be due to constipation or because the person sits for extended periods. Try to ingest more fiber, drink much more water, and try not to strain or push when passing into the toilet. You can use topical creams. But if the symptoms persist you can consult a gastroenterologist.

My brother fistula seton surgery after blood in motion time light blood

Male | 30

It's understandable to be concerned after your brother's seton surgery, especially with any bleeding observed during bowel movements. Minor bleeding can occur as the surgical site heals, which might indicate irritation or increased blood flow to the area. However, if the bleeding persists or worsens, it's crucial to consult a gastroenterologist. Maintaining a high-fiber diet and staying hydrated can promote softer stools, reducing strain during bowel movements. Regular follow-ups are essential to ensure proper healing and address any complications.

I am kennedy...and for years i have been taking ant acids when am in an occasion...or during travelling....my mind thought it was acid in the stomach, wen i take ant acid..there is no gas formation in the stomach and no regular farts. So i came to find that wen i take food like beans i expect to have more acid and farts but thats not the case...the farts has no smell...just stomach gas then a sound then a fart...

Male | 23

You've had gas in your tummy without a funky smell. This is normal, it occurs when our bodies process the food we eat. Some foods like beans tend to make more gas. To reduce the gassy feeling, try eating slower. Also, ditch fizzy drinks and split your meals into smaller portions.
