Could symptoms be related to stomach acid after head injury?

Had an accident 2.5 months back. Had an injury to head and have recovered from it but since days felling heavyness near heart area,stomach looks full and hard and sometimes even have pain in left hand. Done with 2deco and egs it's normal. So I think it's related to stomach acid or something else. So please guide me.

Your recent symptoms—heaviness around the chest, a hard feeling in the abdomen, and discomfort in your left arm—might suggest digestion or muscle tension issues. Stress or changes in diet could also contribute. While your tests show normal results, it's crucial to monitor these symptoms closely. I recommend keeping a food diary to identify triggers and trying gentle activities like walking to relieve stress. However, it's always best to consult a gastroenterologist to rule out any serious concerns and receive tailored advice for your situation.

I have been experiencing pain through my entire abdomen for the past two days, it is dull, it comes and goes, there is a little bit of bloating and a slight change in stool, any ideas what could it be?

Female | 34

Pain in entire ABDOMEN,, dull,,, bloating,,, change in stool.. These symptoms suggest gastrointestinal DISTRESS.. It could be anything from gas to indigestion.. However, if the PAIN is severe or accompanied by vomiting or fever,, it could indicate a more serious condition like appendicitis or pancreatitis.. It's best to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment..

My stomach is having gas bubble

Male | 48

Okay you can try a few remedies to find relief. Drink warm liquids like herbal teas or warm water with lemon to relax the stomach muscles. Avoid carbonated drinks and chewing gum as they can contribute to gas production.

I FEAR DOCTORS!!! I was put in a coma in 2016 & was near death the 3rd day. I didn't come out of the coma till the 7th day. I found out last year, that my diagnoses was kept from me. I was told in 2016, it was only bc of trigeminal neuralgia, septic shock and ARDS. HOWEVER, I learned last year that I was also diagnosed with pulmonary edema, emphysema, a mild heart attack, a cyst on my right kidney, a damaged liver, they removed my gallbladder .... along with the Septic Shock, trigeminal neuralgia and ARDS!! I also saw that I was overdosed on the 3rd day in the coma on 1 of my epilepsy meds. I've been an epileptic since about a year old from a spider bite. So, throughout my life I've taken multiple meds. In 2016, I was taking 400mg of Lamictal, 300 mg of tegretol (which i was overdosed on in the coma) & I was also on 500mg of Dilantin then. I went to the hospital for weeks bc, my chest had been killing me, I had trouble breathing bc it hurt to take a breath, I got wicked headaches often, dizzy spells & body weakness. I was put in the coma the next day. Again I was only told about the Septic Shock, trigeminal neuralgia and ARDS. Shortly after the coma, my neurologist put me on 600 mg of Lamictal, 400mg of toprimate, 2000mg of levetiracetam & 1800 mg of felbamate. In 2019, my old neuro told me i had "mental issues". Throughout the years since, I've had sepsis 1 time & Septic shock twice. After I moved & found a new neurologist I learned that toprimate & Lamictal weren't for my type of epilepsy. Although i have seizures often, they were not helping my epilepsy or any of my health. I saw a neuro physiologist after my VNS battery was changed & he diagnosed me w late stage 1 alziemers due to the seizures, meds & 2 brain surgeries on my temperol lobe and agreed that Lamictal & toprimate weren't helping. My neurologist took me off toprimate but wanted to have my kidneys, liver & heart checked before he took me off Lamictal bc both levetiracetam and Felbamate can mess w those & taking me off Lamictal he plans on upping one of those. So he put me on Lamictal xr to help stop my dizzy spells & had me see a cardio, a pulmonary, a liver doc and a kidney doc. They saw the scaring on my heart & an irregular heart beat, the cyst on my right kidney, emphysema & my liver scared, w fatty tissue and enlarged to 21cm. When they asked me about pains and or unusual issues i had, I only told my neuro physiologist first, bc I remembered what my old docs put me through. Ive not been completely diagnosed bc my liver will swell up for weeks (& I know when it does bc pains r indescribable), but then the swelling will go down. I've chest pains when my liver swells, I also have periods when it hurts all around my stomach & back to stand up straight or sit straight up. My periods been irregular for years. I'll be incapable of eating sometimes bc of pain all around my stomach. The right side of my back is excruciating sometimes. I'm incapable of holding urine & sometimes I don't feel I have to go or realize I'm going. My urine is red every few weeks but will go back to almost orange or sometimes ... it'll look like water. My new doctors have seen it all in urine tests. My feet swell up sometimes to where my legs will hurt when I where socks bc theyre too tight. I don't get headaches as often now, but when I get them, the pain can't be explained. I've diarrhea constantly & I have for years. My shoulders were in unreal pain this past year a few times, for a few days. I'm not asking for a recommendation bc again, I fear doctors due to them overdosing me in a coma & keeping medical info & records from me. I just want an idea of what this is!! Yes I smoke. I have since I was 14 (26years). No I DO NOT AND WILL NOT DO DRUGS!!! Biggest reason being my epilepsy, but I've also lost a friend who gave his life to drugs when he got out of the military. I do smoke pot right before bed (I do it to put me in another world to help me sleep bc I have flashbacks of abuse from my x and honestly, i will say that sometimes it'll help the pain im in). I HAVEN'T TOUCHED ALCOHOL IN 3 YEARS! From the end of 2018 to 2020, I was an alcoholic due to doctors refusing to help me, abuse from my x and the pains I was experiencing. However, when I left my x, I stayed w christian friends & w/in 1 month, I gave my life to Christ ???? When pains act up or symptoms, I simply pray ?. BC God IS ? Im living proof to that!! He's the only reason I made it out of my coma. It's on the records that, they didn't comprehend my coming too. However, it's also on the records of an eeg when I was in it that I was having a dream while in the coma. (& Its A dream that I will never forget!!?) There's times when I'm indescribably nautious! The pains and issues I've explained come and go non stop. What is this and why is it ignored by my new docs who tested everything and diagnosed what was found?

According to your symptoms, it is critical for you to see gastroenterologist in order that the doctor will make proper evaluation and diagnosis. The symptoms show that you may be suffering from gastrointestinal concerns like liver disease and kidney complications. Prompt addressing these issues will prevent further complexities. We suggest to visit a specialist who will give you the necessary treatment and care.

's burning me from the inside out. What can I take? I tried baking soda but I use 2tbs instead of half a teaspoon and have been having extreme burning and pain in my body and rectum for a year it's getting worse. I eat a strict diet and I work etc so in general after I eat it or when I wake up it's on fire supplements I take charcoal tablets because I have constipation so I feel like because my bowls are t emptying the toxins are causing inflammation to flare up. I take a leaky gut powder, creatine, anxiety medication the generic version of Lexapro 10 mg a mood stabilizer 150 mg, and propanol as needed. Recently my doctor put me on omeprazole. I take mushrooms turmeric

Female | 29

It seems you may have severe acid reflux if your doctor gave you a prescription for omeprazole. Your symptoms can get worse if you take too much baking soda. The burning feeling means there could be too much acid in your stomach and esophagus. Always take all drugs and supplements according to the instructions on the label. Also, remember to write down what you eat and how it makes you feel then raise any questions with your doctor.

If someone swallowed a small rubber band by mistake will it cause any issues

Female | 24

Swallowed a tiny rubber band? No need to worry! It usually passes through your body without any issues, and you might not even notice it. However, if you experience stomach pain, nausea, or difficulty passing stool, seek medical attention immediately, as it could indicate a blockage.

Female | 21

Judging from the information you have shared, there are chances of you having lower abdomen pain caused by diaphragmatic strain or inflammation. It is necessary to seek medical assistance, such as a gastroenterologist or a GP doctor.

I've been diagnosed with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and find it hard to manage my symptoms. What dietary modifications can help alleviate my discomfort?

Female | 37

IBS patients often experience a sour stomach, leading to symptoms like bloating, cramps, and changes in bowel habits. Certain foods can worsen these symptoms, such as dairy, spicy foods, caffeine, and artificial sweeteners. Eating small meals, drinking enough water, and avoiding trigger foods can help. Fiber-rich foods and probiotics may also be beneficial. Since everyone is different, keep a food diary to track what works best for you.

I have a acid reflux problem around 2 months I already consult with doctors but acid reflux not going properly what should I do I get to much tension about this disease please help me

Male | 27

Acid reflux actually occurs when the stomach acids irritate the esophagus, which leads to symptoms like heartburn, chest pain, and bad taste. Some of the means to comfort it involve eating small portions, avoiding the foods that trigger it, and not sleeping immediately after eating. Raising your head during sleep is also a concern. Also, don't forget to reduce stress because it will also contribute to acid reflux.
