What Could Be Causing My Persistent Health Issues?
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?

I'm not able to fresh properly.. not able to eat properly..I feel my stomach is full and bloated everytime.. there is lot of undigested food..
Female | 27
Feeling bloated after eating can happen sometimes. It might mean you ate too fast or didn't chew enough. Maybe certain foods upset your stomach. Try chewing slowly and drinking lots of water to help digest better. Stay away from foods that bother you. If it keeps happening, talk to a gastroenterologist about it.

I am a 30 years old female. It been some few weeks I'm experiencing a crying stomach from time to time even if I have eaten food
Female | 30
There are several possible causes for this, including eating too much or too quickly, or certain foods not reacting well with your stomach. Do you find that it gets worse with particular foods? Try having smaller meals at a slower pace and see if there’s anything that consistently triggers your stomach ache. If the problem persists, it would be wise to consult a gastroenterologist.

I am having loose motion and chest pain and sometimes fever is coming also having pain in some joints like my knee, ankle, and elbow. All these symptoms have been coming since 26th May, and pain in joints its happened sometimes for the last 4 years.
Male | 22
Your symptoms indicate infectious diseases such as virus attack; it may be arthritis too. Additionally, the recurrent joint aches you have had over 4 years should not be overlooked without proper medical attention from a professional health care provider. More importantly, one can take fluids and have enough rest but above everything else they should be thoroughly examined by a gastroenterologist for treatment.

Im a syphillis pateint and i want to remove my gallbladder stone. Is that surgery is safe for me
Female | 39
Syphilis is a sexual illness that spreads through contact. It causes sores, and rashes if untreated. Antibiotics cure it though. Gallbladder stones develop in that organ, causing pain. Surgery removes the stones safely, easing your troubles. But mention syphilis treatment before the surgery. That way, both issues get handled properly.

I am suffering from IBS and losing my hair plz stop my hair fall I think it's nutrition observation problem
Male | 26
IBS and hair loss frustrate you. Hair loss with IBS could mean poor nutrient absorption. IBS brings stomach pain, bloating, and bowel habit shifts. Focus on diet rich in vitamins and minerals for hair growth: iron, zinc, and biotin. See a healthcare provider about supplements for nutrients.

I am ramesh. I have loose motions from last 15months. I was used some medications. When I am using medications, the problem comes down and after that the problem remains same. Some of the foods not digesting properly. Please suggest any solution. Due to loose motions high burfing is comming from buttock.
Male | 29
Several things can cause this such as infections, food intolerances, or underlying health issues. Since you haven’t been cured completely by any drugs, it’s good to concentrate on your eating habits. You should stay away from spicy or oily meals and go for those that are easy to digest like rice, bananas, and toast. Ensure that you drink a lot of water so as not to be dehydrated and think about including probiotics in your diet to help with gut health. If this problem continues then please seek medical attention from a gastroenterologist.

My boyfriend had, what I suspect to be, Norovirus 8 days ago. He had diarrhea for about 18 to 22 hours, and he only had one bout of vomiting, which he believes was due to the Mountain Dew he drank on an upset stomach. Since its been 8 days since his symptoms have stopped, would it be safe to engage in close contact activities like kissing again?
Male | 23
Norovirus is a bug. It can make your stomach feel bad. After it goes away, wait a bit before kissing. This makes sure it is all gone. 8 days since his last symptoms are good. But wait longer to be safe. Washing hands well stops the spread.

Male | 63
For severe constipation, especially with your long-term diabetes, it's important to address this carefully. Overuse of laxatives like Laxet can worsen the problem. Increasing fiber intake, staying hydrated, and regular exercise can help. However, for immediate relief and to ensure it's safe given your medical history, please consult a gastroenterologist. They can provide appropriate treatment and manage any underlying issues.

Im wondering if Ulcerative Colitis can affect a man's sexual ability causing ED. Either that or is it possible for UC to cause low testosterone? Is this possible without me taking any medications?
Male | 28
A situation that inflames the colon, ulcerative colitis, can result in symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and fatigue. Even though inflammation and stress brought on by UC do not cause directly erectile dysfunction (ED) or low testosterone; they can have an impact on sexual health. The best way forward is to treat UC effectively while also finding ways of reducing stress.

As a medical expert, I would recommend you to make a gastroenterologist consult about your anal fissure scar issue. Over-the-counter creams may not work and could cause other problems. A gastroenterologist can prescribe appropriate treatment measures including topical medications or surgery if required.

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.

My throat has been hurting really bad and my stomach is experiencing sharp pains. I don't think I have a fever.
Female | 19
A sore throat and stomach pains have varied reasons. It might signal a viral infection, perhaps a cold or flu. Acid reflux sometimes brings those troubles too. Sip warm water flavored with honey and lemon to ease discomfort. Rest well and avoid spicy cuisine temporarily. However, if symptoms linger, see a gastroenterologist could prove wise.

My mom found out she has a big cyst in her stomach. Attached to her belly button. I want to know if the surgery to remove it is risky.?
Female | 67
The cyst can often bring pain and discomfort. They are due to the blocking of the glands or infections. Although cyst removal is generally quite safe, some risks are part of all surgeries. Her physician has to explain the pros and cons to your mom, so that she can make a well-informed decision about what is best for her health.
