Answered on 7th Oct '24
Eating spicy food might likely be the reason behind the pain in your left abdomen, yet this pain might be caused by other reasons as well. This pain could be due to stomach problems or dysfunction of your organs. If you notice the pain is severe or lasts a long time, it's advisable to consult a gastroenterologist. In the meantime, you can try eating bland food and drinking a lot of water as a means to check if the pain subsides.

Male | 63
Considering you father's medical history of diabetes and past gastritis, its important to seek medical attention from a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation. The doctor may recommend tests to determine the underlying cause, such as GERD or gastritis.
Apart from medications lifestyle modifications, dietary adjustments, weight management, and stress reduction techniques can also help alot..

I am suhail and i'm suffering from pinworm problem.My age is 19 and there is itching in my ass at night.There is also weight loss for no reason
Male | 19
Yes this infection usually causes itching around the anus, especially at night. This is caused by ingesting pinworm eggs, which can be found on contaminated surfaces, such as bedding, clothing, or hands. Weight loss, irritability, and trouble sleeping.are its symptoms. However it is best to consult a gastroenterologist to know the exact reason and get treatment accordingly.

I am 19 years old female and I am having a pain in my lower and upper abdomen both left and right side Even my chest also pains alot . Sometimes my pain in my stomach is too much . Whenever I eat anything, I vomit.
Female | 19
You seem to be having these pains to the point that you have been putting up with a lot. Pain in the lower and upper abdomen, as well as chest pain and vomiting after eating, can be signs of a problem with your digestive system. You could be facing problems like gastritis or acid reflux. A gastroenterologist must be consulted to obtain precise diagnoses and suitable medicines.

I am a 17 year old female and i have been experiencing a ticker in the back of my throat for the last few days that is making me have “coughing attacks” and make me feel nauseous. I started getting pains in my chest today aswell and i was wondering what this was
Female | 17
You may have acid reflux. This is when the stomach contents come back up into your throat and cause a burning sensation as well as coughing. It may also make you feel sick to your stomach or give you chest pains. You should avoid eating large meals, such as spicy or fatty foods. Moreover, you shouldn’t lie down immediately after eating. Drinking lots of water helps too. If none of these work, visit a gastroenterologist.

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?

Enzymes are protein catalysts that facilitate chemical reactions in the body. Impaired digestive function can result from Enzyme Deficiency. Eosinophilia is a disorder characterized with the excessive production of eoisinophils, which are cells that belong to type white blood cell. The treatment for both conditions is based on the etiology. An enzyme deficiency and eosinophilia should be referred to gastroenterologists and immunologist respectively.

My sgpt level is 82 it's serious or not
Male | 24
Your SGPT level is 82, which isn't too bad, but it's higher than the usual range. This might indicate problems with your liver such as fatty liver or hepatitis. If you feel tired all the time, unwell, or have pain in the upper right side of your tummy then these symptoms could also be related. To reduce a higher SGPT number in the blood focus on healthy eating habits while avoiding alcohol completely and keeping physically active. For more individualized recommendations it would be best to consult with a doctor.

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.

If you happen to encounter severe abdominal pain that resulted from a punch to the stomach, consult a doctor immediately.

I recently had typhoid & some bacteria infection and was given some medication but after the medication I still feel a little unwell (not so intense) I feel a little het from within
Male | 29
Even after taking the medication, if you're still feeling a bit unwell and experiencing internal heat, it might mean there are still some lingering issues. The problem of bacteria being incompletely cleared out which leads to persistent symptoms is one of the possible explanations. Hydration, taking adequate rest, and going for further observations and treatment are the most important tips to be followed with a gastroenterologist to stay healthy.

I have sharp pain in my lower left stomach
Female | 19
That sharp pain in the lower left side of your tummy could be diverticulitis. It happens when the pouches lining your colon become inflamed or infected. Symptoms include pain, bloating, fever, and bathroom troubles. To help, drink plenty of water, eat foods high in fiber, and avoid nuts and seeds. But if the pain is severe or doesn’t go away, see a gastroenterologist immediately, as this condition requires medical attention.

Why do I feel food is stuck in my throat and feel pain when we swallow food during 30weeks pregnant
Female | 21
When you are pregnant, the feeling of food is caught in the throat and a sense of pain when swallowing it is most likely caused by acid reflux. It occurs when the stomach acid erupts back to the esophagus which could make you feel like food is stuck and also can cause pain. It leads to a sensation of being unable to swallow and a painful state. One method to relieve it is by eating less and avoiding spicy foods as well as standing or sitting for some time after a meal. If the symptoms persist, seek advice from a gastroenterologist.

I've anal pain after and during bowel movement
Male | 20
Many people experience discomfort around their behind when using the restroom. This can result from pushing too forcefully, being constipated, or having a small tear in the skin by the back passage. Fiber helps make bowel movements easier. Drink water regularly and don't strain excessively. If the painful feeling lingers, consult a gastroenterologist to identify any underlying problems.

I have been having severe pain like a headache when I’m trying to poop. It’s only when I’m trying to poop. wondering if you could recommend some home run these to me to help with it besides medication
Female | 39
When you try going to the bathroom, you might feel pain like a headache. This could mean you have "anal fissures" - tiny tears around your bottom area. They hurt a lot during bowel movements. To help, drink lots of water and eat fruits, veggies, and other high-fiber foods. Don't strain when pooping. If pain keeps happening, see a gastroenterologist. They'll check it out and give you treatment.

There are many causes of stomach pain ranging from indigestion and gas to stress. Bloating and altered bowel habits might also be present in other cases. Advise her to eat smaller portions of food and stay away from spicy or fatty meals. Taking a lot of water plus engaging in light exercises such as walking can help as well. However, in case the pain doesn’t go away or becomes severe then one should seek medical attention from a gastroenterologist.
