Hello. I am 23 years old and I've had heartburn for more than 3 years. Last year in April I took Dexilant 60mg for about 2 weeks and my symptoms were gone for about 2 months. However, the symptoms started coming back after that and I've been having heartburn almost every day since then. I've occasionally been using Pepcid Complete for my symptoms but I know that this isn't a permanent solution. So can you please tell me when I should be worried about heartburn and what kind of treatments are there for heartburn?

Seek medical attention as it could indicate an underlying issue like GERD. It can be treated with lifestyle changes, over the counter medications (antacids and H2 blockers), and prescription medications. Untreated heartburn can lead to complications, so don't delay seeking help. Consult with a gastroenterologist.

Hello Doctor! I'm 26 year old male and today during brushing my teeth i have swallowed tootpaste after that my stomach is feeling uncomfortable and i also vomit.What can i do to overcome it should i visit nearby hospital

Male | 26

Toothpaste contains ingredients like fluoride that can sometimes cause stomach discomfort and vomiting. Your symptoms are your body’s way of reacting. Be sure to drink plenty of water to help flush it out. If the discomfort continues or worsens, it’s best to visit a doctor to avoid any complications.

I am a 59 years old, weigh 120 and 5'6". I am having an issue when I eat something one night everything is fine but I eat leftovers the next night and I get bloating, gas, diarrhea and stomach ache. This does not happen all the time but often enough I have try keeping a food diary but that not working very well because I eat something and nothing happens but next time I eat the same thing I get bloating, gas, diarrhea and stomach ache. I tried the FODMAP diet but some of the food they recommend have caused the issues. So I asked Dr. if they could arrange a test for food intolerant test. I was there is not one.

Male | 59

According to your symptoms of bloating, gas, diarrhea and stomach pain after consuming the leftovers you most likely have cases of food poison or intolerance. Generally, it is better to seek advice from a specialist and undergo testing in order to determine the root of your symptoms. In the meantime, follow simple diet

I have anal fissures, using anasol it doesn't bleed anymore but can u prescribe any oral medication

Female | 35

It is a positive step that the bleeding has stopped with Anasol, but let us find an oral medication for your anal fissures. These are the reasons which cause it when the skin around your bottom tears. It can lead to pain and bleeding when you poo. To help them heal, you can take stool softeners like psyllium husk or docusate sodium. These can cause going to the bathroom to be quicker and less painful. Besides, you should drink a lot of water too.

My query is gluten free meal good for high blood pressure

Male | 44

Meals without gluten may help high blood pre­ssure. High blood pressure ofte­n has no symptoms, but it can bring headaches, chest pain, e­xhaustion. A gluten-free die­t with veggies, fruits, lean prote­ins, and whole grains may lower blood pressure­.

I am 20 years old. Recently I feel pain in my esophageal area during swallowing time. Also after every minute it start paying from bottom to up an then stop and continue after se ome time

Male | 20

There are symptoms that hard burn is the same as that you might be facing. The reason is that stomach acid goes up into the esophagus and causes pain. Eating spicy or greasy foods, alcohol, or being overweight plays a significant role in developing this heartburn type of problem. For improvement, you can eat smaller meals, avoid trigger foods, and stay sitting upright after eating. If it still hurts, visiting a gastroenterologist for a check-up is necessary.
