You may be experiencing indigestion, which can cause heaviness and pain in the stomach. This happens when your stomach has trouble digesting food. Common symptoms include a feeling of fullness and stomach bloating. To ease these symptoms, try eating smaller meals, avoid spicy or greasy foods, and stay upright after eating. If the symptoms persist, it's best to visit a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and advice.

Ive woken up with pain in the rib area in the upper abdomen and i think in lower back i got up and took a walk and the pain went away. 5 hours later i had black stool. I need to go to work in 3 hours should i call it of and seek immidiate checkup
Male | 24
Your pains and black stools sound concerning. Upper abdomen and back discomfort can signal gastritis or kidney issues. Black stools indicate internal bleeding, maybe stomach or intestines. You should see a gastroenterologist immediately, as this requires medical attention. For now, rest up, and don't strain yourself with heavy lifting.

Female | 31
The symptoms might be related to the drug such as cramps, muscle spasms, headache, and feeling sick. Some drugs can cause such issues at times. You must inform your physician about these signs. They may prescribe a different medication or adjust the dose to minimize these side effects. Do not discontinue the drug until you have consulted your doctor.

My dad is suffering from gastric problem. He took medicines. But he didn't get relief.
Male | 45
Your dad's gastric issue is concerning. The meds don't seem effective. Stomach problems bring pain, bloating, and discomfort. Medications may fail if diet or stress cause the issue. Spicy foods, large meals, and stress worsen symptoms. Smaller portions, stress management, and avoiding trigger foods may improve his condition.

Why am I gaining weight five years after my gastric sleeve surgery?
Female | 42
You may be gaining weight because of a stretched stomach pouch or an enlarged gastric sleeve opening. Other causes, including hormonal changes or lack of healthy diet and physical activities may also play a role. I suggest contacting a bariatric specialist to address the problem and determine possible solutions.

Need better meds for stomach cramps and bloating also intestine churning
Male | 42
Stomach cramps, bloating, and the feeling of your intestines churning can be caused by several things, such as eating too quickly, too much fatty foods, or stress. To help with this, you can try taking antacids or gas relief tablets which are available over-the-counter. Drinking some peppermint or ginger tea may also be beneficial for you. Avoiding the consumption of carbonated drinks and the habit of chewing gum can help.

I am a 21 year old. I am experiencing mild stomach cramping and need like pain. And sharp pain on my lower abdomen especially while urinating
Female | 21
It appears that a UTI might be the problem you’re having. UTIs sometimes lead to cramps in the stomach along with pain in the back or a sudden sharp pain in the lower abdomen when you urinate. These occur because bacteria have entered your urethra. You should drink plenty of water and take antibiotics. To avoid getting more UTIs, make sure to urinate after sex and keep good hygiene.

Have been having back pain and was prescribed zerodol for 5 days but I have gastric. NOW I am having some pain in chest after the completion of medication zerodol.
Female | 26
You could be suffering acid reflux which is the actual reason for a painful chest. Zerodol has the potential to occasionally cause stomach inflammation, which might have been the cause of your chest conditions. In this regard, try to eat smaller meals, avoid hot, spicy foods, and remain standing for some time after your meal. You might also consider talking to a pharmacist for advice on which over-the-counter medications are best for acid reflux.

I was loose motion before 2 days . I taken loperamide capsule but stopped my latrin from 2 days .
Male | 40
It seems that you are having constipation caused by loperamide which you took for your loose motions. The reason behind this is that loperamide reduces the movement of your gut. Dehydration, lack of fiber in the diet, or certain medications are some of the most common causes of constipation. To treat constipation, one should drink enough water, consume high-fiber foods such as fruits and vegetables, and do mild exercises such as walking.

The infection fixed but my intestines are now destroyed. The rectum encounters occasional pain (stabbing like) after using the toilet and the stool is covered in mucus. The stool color is dark red/ brown. No diarrhea. Heart pain that radiates to the left arm, probably under reactive inflammatory context. No tachycardia. Do I have to start 250mg vancomycin hydrochloride PO each 6 hours for 7 days? All the doctors in my city are saying that this antibiotic is only for diarrhea people. What should I do? I'm also nauseous. Took fluconazole 3 weeks then itraconazole 3 weeks in winter, no help, just probably made the situation worse. Today WBC 11.9. Anti-streptolysin, sedimentation rate & reactive C protein are normal. Abdominal tomography displayed inflamed lymph nodes around aorta (reactive inflammatory context). What would you do if you were me? Not currently taking any medication/ having any known condition.
Male | 29
Your symptoms seem worrying. The dark red or brown stool mixed with mucus and rectal pain points to issues in your intestines. Additionally, heart pain and a high white blood cell count raise concerns. Vancomycin usually treats bacterial infections, not these symptoms. It's crucial to consult a gastroenterologist. They can evaluate you properly based on your test results and medical history.

your alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin are slightly higher than normal. These levels could show liver or bone problems. It would be necessary that you see a gastroenterologist or a hepatologist to conduct further investigations and therapy.

Diarrhea is a common ailment that can be either infection-related, food-induced, or medical conditions concerned. Pay attention to the amount of fluid you’re drinking and eat foods that won’t exacerbate your symptoms. You might consider going to a gastroenterologist if your diarrhea continues more than a few days.

You seem to experience frequent bowel movements and gas. Going 3-4 times daily with lots of flatulence is uncomfortable. Food intolerances, infections, and digestion problems could cause this.

How long after a perianal abscess drainage can a patient undergo VAAFT for a high transsphincteric fistula? And how high is the risk of incontinence?
Female | 31
Having VAAFT for a high trans sphincteric fistula after perianal abscess drainage is usually safe around 4 to 6 weeks later. The body needs time to recover. VAAFT is a procedure that has a low risk of incontinence, which is estimated to be around 5 to 10%. Make sure to discuss all the risks and benefits with your gastroenterologist before having the procedure.

Sir I have pain in my stomach but in my empty stomach I get blood through sputum and after that my headaches and I'm not able. To eat any proper food
Female | 22
Coughing blood, headaches, and difficulty eating - these signs suggest a stomach issue. An ulcer or inflammation could be the culprit. Ignoring it risks bigger problems, so see a doctor soon. For now, spicy or acidic foods may worsen symptoms, so choose easy-to-digest meals instead. Stay hydrated by drinking lots of water.

Erkek | 47
You are going through intense abdominal pain that moves to the back and is combined with sweating. These symptoms last for at least 5 hours and not responding to painkillers could indicate a serious issue. Possible causes include a condition known as pancreatitis, which is the inflammation of the pancreas. This may result in severe abdominal discomfort, particularly after eating, and thus, a gastroenterologist should be consulted.

Female | 19
Transmission of hepatitis C may involve contact with infected blood and/or sharps such as needles. Even if the needle does not have any water therein, the stick and pokes use can still result in viral infections. It will be good to see a hepatologist or a gastroenterologist if you have reason to think your chances of Hepatitis C are high.
