Is My Chest Tightness Acid Reflux?
I am a 18 year old female who is experiencing chest tightness since last night. I drank omeprazole earlier but its still here. When I lay on my side the chest tightness will get worse but when I lay in my back the chest tightness will get better. Is it acid reflux?
Surgical Gastroenterologist
Answered on 19th June '24
It sounds like you might be experiencing acid reflux. This happens when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing chest discomfort. Lying on your side can make this worse because it allows the acid to move up more easily. To help with this, try avoiding spicy or acidic foods, eat smaller meals, and stay upright after eating. You can also elevate the head of your bed while sleeping to keep the acid down. If these tips don't improve your symptoms, it's best to see a gastroenterologist for further evaluation.

Pancreas problem and fatty liver
Male | 22
Pancreas problems and fatty liver are two separate medical conditions that can occur independently or sometimes in association with each other. In some cases, more advanced treatment may be necessary. For example, advanced fatty liver disease may lead to cirrhosis, which may require a liver transplant. For pancreas problems, surgery may be necessary in some cases.
Consult with a gastroenterologist or a hepatologist to find out what is the problem exactly.

Stool and urine nehi ho raha hai and legs also swelling. She also low sugar.
Female | 59
Difficulty eliminating waste from the body is an issue. Problems peeing and pooping exist. Swollen legs are also present. Different causes are possible. However, kidney or liver problems might explain it all - including high sugar levels. Going to a hospital immediately for an exam and care is necessary.

i am suffer from piles problem for last 1 year, now suggest me what can i do?
Male | 46
Hemorrhoids cause veins near your anus to swell. This makes sitting painful. It can also cause bleeding when you use the bathroom. Try simple things first. Eat foods with lots of fiber, like fruits and veggies. Drink plenty of water too. Creams from the pharmacy may offer relief. But we'll look at other treatments if problems continue.

Stomach pain and diarrhea since Thursday the 30th May Also some light brown discharge when wiping after using the toilet with diarrhea
Female | 29
Stomachache and diarrhea that go along with light brown spotting may indicate a tummy bug or infection. The reason for these signs might be food poisoning or a virus. Remember to drink plenty of water for hydration and take some rest. If you don’t feel better or your symptoms become worse, don’t hesitate to consult with a gastroenterologist as soon as possible.

last two days i am suffering from . blood on my stool. my stool color is dark black and blood color is norml red . i have no any pain and no constipation issue . stool is normal soft not hard. but blood is too much on my stool.
Male | 27
You have seen blood in your stool, which could be a serious issue. Dark black stool and bright red blood are clear signs of bleeding, which can occur in the stomach or upper intestines. The symptoms can be the result of ulcers, gastritis, or blood vessels that are bleeding. This is a positive thing that you are not in pain but still need to be examined by a gastroenterologist.

Having extremely gas and constipation/diarrhea from last 4 years...brown thin stool, mucus , and a few times blood verry less. Main problem is extreme gas
Male | 22
Persistent gas pain and irregular bowel movements should be checked out. If you notice mucus tinged with red during bathroom trips, it could signal a more serious issue. Inflammation and bacterial infections can disrupt your gut health. Don’t ignore these symptoms—consult a gastroenterologist to identify the problem and find a solution.

Male | 29
Stomach discomfort often results from consuming excessive amounts or improper foods, and stress may contribute. Relieving this involves rest, clear liquids, and bland meals. However, if pain persists or intensifies, consult a gastroenterologist.

I am 24yrs old female and i have a lots of itching in my anus and while passing stools blood comes out and there is pain. Due to this i have a lots of trouble in sitting or walking and no matter how much food i eat i am able to paas stools only after 3 days..i checked my anus and i saw extra skin around the anus so please tell me what should i do??
Female | 24
You might have a condition called hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids can be responsible for such manifestations as itching, pain, and bleeding during bowel movements. The extra skin you notice around the anus is probably swollen blood vessels. To help relieve the discomfort, try increasing the fiber intake, drinking enough water, and using over-the-counter creams. If your symptoms do not subside, see a gastroenterologist for a more thorough diagnosis and treatment.

Your father is suffering from some sort of food stuck in his esophagus. A CT scan that your father had done shows that he suffers from esophageal adenocarcinoma, which is a kind of cancer located in the esophagus. Such conditions can lead to difficulties in swallowing, chest pain, and losing weight. The treatment options may consist of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Communicating with his gastroenterologist is the best way for you to arrive at an effective plan.

It sounds like you have pain, a burning sensation, and a bump or thin vein in your belly. These symptoms could indicate a condition called hernia, where an organ pushes through the muscle. Causes could be lifting heavy things, constipation, or obesity. It's important to see a gastroenterologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

When saftypin stay in my stomch since 2 years what's happened
Male | 22
Carrying a safety pin in your stomach for 2 long years can result in dangerous situations. You may get a tummy ache, feel like you are going to throw up, or actually, throw up. The pin can cause a tear in the lining of your stomach and be the reason for the infection. It is important to have it done through surgery. If the pin stays there it can cause other problems. A doctor must be seen immediately to get help.

My niece's stool occult blood test is positive and sigmoid colon is thickening at acute stage
Female | 7 month
Blood hidden in poop is occult blood. A swollen part of the sigmoid colon needs treatment fast. Look out for stomach pains, changes in how you poo, or losing weight. Infections, inflammation, or growths may be the problem. Doctors must do more tests to find the reason. Then you'll get medicine or surgery.
