This can be a life threatening issue. If you have accidentally ingested a coin even if there are no symptoms, it is recommended to a doctor. The location and position of the coin can be detected by conducting an X-ray. Therefore, a visit to the gastroenterologist is recommended for further evaluation and treatment.

I have been prescribed Famotidine and sucralfate for gerd And i have to take it twice a day can i take them at the same time in the morning and then at the same time in the afternoon or

Female | 27

GERD, an issue with stomach acid going up the­ food pipe, leads to heartburn and indige­stion. Your doctor ordered Famotidine and sucralfate­ to ease symptoms. Take the­m each morning and night. Famotidine reduce­s acid production, while sucralfate create­s a protective coating inside your stomach. Following instructions care­fully will help manage discomfort. Famotidine de­creases acid leve­ls. Sucralfate forms a barrier to shield against irritation. Toge­ther, they can provide re­lief for your condition.

Hi Sir, kindly help me out to get out confusion and frustration. This is my Clinical summary -Rohan, a 29-year-old male, presented with chief complaints of reflux symptoms and severe abdominal pain persisting for the past 3 months.Sometimes diarrhea.Upon examination, his vital signs were stable. Diagnostic procedures, including gastroscopy and colonoscopy, were performed, leading to the diagnosis of a duodenal ulcer, pan gastritis and pathological findings of lymphocytic colitis. The treatment approach involved the administration of medications, as mentioned in the prescription, to manage the condition. Regular follow-up visits were recommended to monitor the progress and adjust the treatment regimen accordingly. After two and a half months of treatment, significant improvement was noted, with no abdominal pain reported, and the patient's overall well-being has improved. Consequently, the dosage of medications has been reduced. Continued monitoring and adherence to the prescribed treatment plan are necessary to ensure complete resolution of symptoms and prevent recurrence. This was my condition eight months ago. Right now I am very frustrated because of gut problem. It's paining even after following treatment and strict diet for eight months. I almost lost 8 kg. I went for second opinion My doctor told me that your ulcers are healed completely.And lymphocytic colitis was misdiagnosed. Now It's a IBS that causing the pain and not colitis.He prescribed me Librax(Clinidium+chlorobenzodioxide) along with Amixide h(chlorodizapoxide +amitryptiline) . Whenever my gut starts paining I took it and pain fade away.I am very confused about this.Stomach pain goes away and comes back. About year ago this problem has started. And just take those above medicines to cope up with pain One more thing to add here is that I was diagnosed with GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) few years back. I was taking escitalopram( Lexapro 10 mg)on and off prescribed by psychiatrist.But My Gastroenterologist told me to stop using lexapro as it can cause ulcer. Can you guys help me to correctly understand the disease and ways to overcome it.

Sir Yesterday I was sitting and enjoyed some snacks.suddenly I felt uncomfortable my chest was shivering and full body get sweaty.i go near fan and relaxed for a while. But in morning I feel inadequate sleep not feeling well vertigo.

You may have some signs of indigestion, which is the result of gastritis when your stomach is having a difficult time digesting food. This may occur when you are eating fast or spicy food, which causes this. The chest shivering and sweaty sensation may be connected with your stomach feeling uncomfortable. Please try to eat less and don't keep away from spicy food.

I have stomach pain and visit doctor and take medicine but I can't feel better

Female | 23

Different things such as indigestion, gastritis, or infections can cause stomach pains. When you go back to your doctor this time you let the doctor know that what they gave you last time did not work. The doctor might need to run more tests so they can find out what’s happening and give you something that’ll make you feel better.
