It sounds like you're experiencing severe acid reflux, which can cause pain in the upper abdomen. This happens when stomach acid backs up into the esophagus, leading to discomfort. To help manage this, try avoiding spicy and fatty foods, eat smaller meals, and remain upright after eating. You might also consider taking antacids or acid reducers. If the pain persists, it's best to consult a gastroenterologist.

Hi so I took omeprazole for 1 month because of GERD, now I’m off it and back on Vyvanse but my vyvanse doesn’t work at all after the omeprazole, it doesn’t activate, how come?
Male | 27
Omeprazole decreases the bioavailability of Vyvanse by blocking its uptake.
For the GERD, it is recommended to see a gastroenterologist for its management and psychiatrist in case of prescribing Vyvanse.

IBS is a disorder that affects the digestive system and can be triggered by stress, certain foods, or medications. To help manage your symptoms, consider avoiding trigger foods like spicy or fatty foods and try adding more fiber to your diet. Drinking enough water and managing stress through relaxation exercises can also be helpful. If these tips don't work, it might be helpful to talk to a gastroenterologist. They can suggest other treatment options or make changes to your current medications.

Your daughter might have a pinworm infection. Pinworms are tiny creatures that enter the body via the mouth. When infected, itching near the bottom frequently occurs at night. Your doctor can provide medication to remove these worms. Proper handwashing is crucial to prevent spreading the infection further.

Lately I have been gaseous , my stomach is growling, am nauseous , belching a lot , a popping sound in my stomach , most times I have constipation them switch to diarrhea, belly is bloated , I pass gas regularly , and have a bad taste on my mouth at times What could be the cause ?
Female | 20
You might have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms. IBS causes bloating, gas, tummy pain, constipation, diarrhea, and bowel habit changes. The reason for IBS isn't fully known. Stress, some foods, or hormonal shifts may trigger it. Managing IBS needs eating healthy foods, reducing stress, and possibly taking doctor-prescribed medicines to ease symptoms. IBS can be tough, but making lifestyle adjustments may help control it. Don't hesitate to consult a gastroenterologist for guidance on managing your symptoms effectively.

Stomach pain upper stomach heart below
Female | 19
This kind of pain can be caused by things like indigestion, ulcers, or acid reflux. You need to take notice of your other possible symptoms such as bloating or nausea. It is possible however that the doctors prescribe you medication to help with the side effects due to the bacterial infections, adding natural products as a secondary instance to relieve you of this ailment. You may find that eating smaller meals and steering clear of spicy or greasy food causes discomfort, and eventually, it may disappear. If the pain is still there, then you should see a gastroenterologist.

Iam 38 year old male iam consuming ibrufen 400 mg ofloxacin 200 mg amlodine 5 mg shall I take alcohol after how many hours of gap
Male | 38
Avoiding the interaction of alcohol with these medications is essential. The risk of a stomach bleed and low blood pressure can be amplified by alcohol when taken with ibuprofen and amlodipine, whilst dizziness and drowsiness can worsen with ofloxacin and alcohol. It is wiser to refrain from alcohol for at least 24 hours after your last dose to ensure there are no harmful interactions.

Female | 42
If you suddenly feel nauseous, there are several reasons for this. It could be that what you ate doesn’t sit well with your stomach, you have a stomach bug or it’s due to stress. Take small sips of water often not to become dehydrated and try eating plain things such as crackers or toast. See a gastroenterologist immediately if vomiting continues.

You might have a stomach bug. Feeling nauseous, abdominal pain, low blood pressure, night chills, fatigue, or lack of appetite indicate this. A virus likely causes it. Rest, stay hydrated, eat plain foods like toast or crackers to settle your stomach. If no improvement in a few days, seek medical help.
