The grade 2 Hiatus hernia, which you were diagnosed with earlier, could be the causing the symptoms. This is a situation in which your stomach part is being pushed back up into your chest. Making changes to your diet, eating less food, and steering clear of your trigger foods can make your symptoms go away. Your gastroenterologist needs to keep checking you to make sure your condition is being managed properly.

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?

My aunt has kidney problems. She undergoes kidney dialysis twice a week. She has worms in her intestines. He started taking exantal 500 mg along with vermox 500 mg to treat worms. After taking the medicines, there are worms in their intestines, they are coming out in thousands through the stool. So how long will they have to take the pills they are taking? The bugs are very small and there are black bugs along with big white bugs. Please tell me if there is any other treatment for this.
Female | 50
Your aunt has intestinal worms, but the good news is that medications like Exantal and Vermox can help get rid of them. It’s normal for worms to appear in the stool after taking the medication. She may need to continue taking the pills for a few more days to ensure all the worms are gone. If she still has worms after completing the treatment, it's important to consult the doctor for further options.

Female | 13
It appears that you may have gastritis. Gastritis leads to nausea and pain in the stomach. Symptoms may involve feeling sick in your stomach or having discomfort in your belly. This can be brought on by spicy or acidic foods, stress or certain drugs. Try eating less food more often, staying away from things that cause problems, and finding ways of managing stress. You must speak with a gastroenterologist who will be able to give you the right diagnosis as well as the treatment plan needed for your recovery process.

Hi. It’s regarding my younger sister she’s 4. After Eid, she stopped eating and lost weight a bit. But she’s been eating well again for the last 2 weeks so her appetite is back to normal. She had an ear infection and flu right before she lost her appetite but her appetite loss happened after finishing the antibiotics. However, over the past months she always says ‘my leg hurts’ and she says it’s her ankle. It doesn’t make her cry or anything and it doesn’t stop her playing like a wild animal ???? but today she has blood in her poo and on tissue when wiping it was bright red blood it’s happened before when she was constipated she didn’t drink much water yesterday and my other sister also got the norovirus so it could be that- her poo was watery. She also catches colds frequently
Female | 4
Seeing blood when she goes poo could mean she's constipated. That can make poo hard to pass. It may also be from norovirus, which causes diarrhea and tummy aches. Her sore leg needs checking too. That pain may relate to her other problems or signal something else. Make sure she drinks lots of water and eats healthy foods to help her tummy feel better. If the leg pain gets worse or won't go away, take her to the doctor.

Why is my stomach side paining
Female | 22
Sometimes, stomach pains strike on one side. Gas or overeating may cause this discomfort. It also could be because of a strained muscle. However, more serious issues like ulcers or organ inflammation could also trigger such pain. If severe or persistent pain, medical consultation from a gastroenterologist is necessary. Meanwhile, stay hydrated. Rest up. Eat gentle and consume healthy food.

Chest lower side pain from inside
Male | 30
If your pain is located at the base of your chest from inside, it may be due to different causes. A common reason is the presence of gas in your digestive system, creating an uncomfortable sensation in the stomach. Another possible condition is heartburn, which originates in the event of sports injury. Get pain relief by adopting a smart approach: Remove from your menu the following foods that are gas-inducing, chew on antacids available over the counter for heartburn, and use a heating pad to help your muscles loosen. Hydrate yourself daily and avoid activities hardening your chest muscles. If you have the same symptoms, visit a gastroenterologist for the right evaluation and treatment.

Having watery stools from yesterday..no pain...not much of a weakness..only after watery stool that happened yesterday,felt weak..but not now..but watery yellow stool continuing...
Male | 32
Your watery yellow stools, a potential tummy bug or food reaction, began yesterday. Losing water and nutrients through diarrhea weakens the body. Drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration. If it persists beyond two days or worsens, seek medical advice promptly. A gastroenterologist's assessment ensures appropriate next steps for resolving this digestive issue.

Male | 20
Your stomach might not be breaking down food properly. Try ginger tea - a helpful tonic. Ginger promotes digestive enzymes, aiding digestion. Sip ginger tea after meals, and see if it makes you feel better. Also, eat slowly, and chew food well. Simple tips can improve digestion.

When I lay down, my nose gets closed, and when I get up it opens slowly but almost instantly (some addition that might be helpful: I have GERD)
Male | 18
When you lie down, your nose feels blocked. When you stand up, it slowly clears. This happens due to GERD, a condition where stomach acid flows back up into the esophagus. The acid can reach your nose and cause congestion. To help, prop up your head while sleeping. Avoid eating close to bedtime. If the problem continues, consult a gastroenterologist for advice.

My problem is Gas problems
Male | 26
Feeling bloated or gassy? It happens when there's excess air in your gut. You may burp, pass gas, and feel stuffed. Eat slowly, and skip carbonated drinks and gum-chewing can help. Certain foods like beans and cabbage produce more gas so for the time being avoid these food. For persisting symptoms visit a gastroenterologist.

The baby seems to be having some stomach problems. If there are any light-colored bumps on the skin, the water in the stool AKA diarrhea, and a long-lasting fever could indicate bacterial infection or intolerance. Through this process, the baby may feel very weak and can vomit frequently. You can take your kid to the doctor if they are experiencing so many symptoms and have them undergo check-ups and a prescribed treatment to fix them.

Male | 6
Cyclical vomiting is also associated with many gastric problems. You need to get an upper Gastrointestinal scope to rule out any lesions associated with the gastrointestinal tract. You need to focus on healthy food habits to prevent such events. It is always advisable to investigate the condition so that we can catch any problem at an early stage.

I am 33 year old have been having lower abdominal pain at my right side the pains go and come please what can be the problem
Female | 33
The problem might point to appendicitis, the inflammation of the appendix. At times, pain takes place quietly, but if it is worse, don't overlook it. The signs of appendicitis might involve the patient having high fever, nausea, and loss of appetite. Don't hesitate to go to the emergency department as soon as the suspicion of appendicitis arises. Surgery could become a necessity in the process of getting your appendix to remove it and thus keep it from rupturing.

Hi, I have been waking in the early morning (usually between 4 and 5:30) with pain in my shoulders, back, chest or ribs. I am sure it is trapped wind because once I get up and walk around and release the gas by a lot of burping or going to the toilet, the pain goes away. I then try and get back to sleep though can find this difficult. A lot of the time the pain starts again usually 1-2 hours later. Once more, when I sit up it tends to go away, even without burping etc. I do have tenderness around my diaphragm sometimes or sensitivity when pressing to try and move the area. I seem to experience this nightly now regardless of dietary changes. I am a 45 year old male and in generally reasonable health. Thanks for your help. Paul

After going through the symptoms, it is likely due to Gerd or may be gastric ulcer. You need to consult a medicine doctor.
