Bulimia Nervosa may be the problem you are facing. Frequently vomiting may be the reason behind this. It can result in a stomach ache, throat irritation, and even tooth decay. Your body requires food to maintain good health. A physician can treat you by giving therapy and suggesting a proper diet.

Me and my daughter always listen each other's heart sound using stethoscope but today I noticed that her heartbeat sound wasn't normal and it sounded like some extra sounds are coming and her right side lower bowel sound of stomach wasn't normal as well as I was putting stethoscope on her stomach she was feeling pain.
Female | 12
You noticed strange sounds from your daughter - her heartbeat seems off and her tummy's making odd noises. The heartbeat might be a heart murmur, which could mean nothing serious or suggest a heart issue. As for her stomach, it probably indicates an upset belly. To be safe, schedule a gastroenterologist visit soon to check if everything's alright with her health.

Having pain in lower stomach
Female | 33
Pain in your lower stomach can be a trouble. As an example of several reasons for such pain are gas, constipation, and in the case of women, periods. Sometimes, infections in the bladder or bowels can also lead to this pain. For constipation, drinking water and eating fiber-rich food may help you, or even a warm bath for period pain. If the pain persists or worsens, inform a gynecologist so they can assist you in feeling better.

Especially at night after dinner even after an hour or more i cannot lie down as the food seems to come up my throat and i start to feel the pain near my esophagus, what should I do? I also have had medicines i.e. Nexium and Lesuride but it only gives relief for some time and then same issue. Please suggest.

You may be experiencing symptoms related to acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). These conditions can cause discomfort like chest bloating, irritation in the chest area after eating, and difficulty lying down due to regurgitation of food. It's important to consult a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management. They can recommend lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, and possibly other medications or treatments tailored to your specific condition. Regular follow-ups with your specialist will help in managing and improving your symptoms effectively.

I was diagnosed with typhoid after which the doctor gave me medicine for 10 days. After 10 days they gave me medicine again which also included Tramin plus. I would like to know why given Dromadin Plus because it is a strong pain reliever. Now there is no pain in my body.
Male | 37
Typhoid is due to a bacillus and can result in fever, body aches, and stomach problems. The medicine that your doctor prescribed acted to eliminate the bacteria that were responsible for the infection. The Tramin Plus contained in your medication is responsible for the relief of any pain or discomfort you may have been experiencing. To ensure that the infection has been completely treated, it is crucial to take your medication exactly as directed.

I'm 29 years old . I have problem in stomuch just below chest at middle when I eat and drink water after some time I the irritation starts at that point some times acid reflux also aoccurs. This is happens from Last 5 years. This pain stoped last 4 months but it again comes
Male | 29
You may be having acid reflux. Stomach acid goes up your food pipe bringing irritation and pain. Thus, the muscle between the stomach and the food pipe weakens, which may cause this to happen. Do not eat large meals, avoid eating any spicy foods, and do not stay upright for a long time. If the pain is still present, visit a gastroenterologist.

Hi Sir, kindly help me out to get out of this pain, confusion and frustration. I am Rohan from Pune. 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.And episodes of 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(Leading Gastroentrologist in pune) . That 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) two times in a day along with Amixide h(chlorobenzodioxide +amitryptiline) . Whenever my gut starts paining I took it and pain goes away completely like that problem doesn't exist.I am very confused about this.Stomach pain goes away and comes back. About year ago this problem has started. And just took 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. So I stopped using it completely since year. I want to get completely rid of these medicines and want to live normal life.
Male | 29
Gut issues can be challenging. You've successfully healed ulcers, which is great, but IBS challenges remain. IBS is common and can cause belly pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits. Often, stress or certain foods trigger it. Medications like Librax and Amixide H, prescribed by your gastroenterologist, can help manage the symptoms. However, lifestyle changes are also important. Stress relief methods, regular exercise, and a fiber-rich, healthy diet can make a significant difference.

My mother under went ultrasound scan of abdomen and Pelvis, Here are the findings Cholelithiasis with Gall Bladder Mass: The presence of multiple gallstones and a mass almost completely filling the gall bladder lumen requires further evaluation with a CECT abdomen. Possible Metastatic Lymph Node: The lesion near the porta hepatis could be a metastatic lymph node, warranting further clinical and lab correlation. Need to know what does that mean
Female | 50
Your mum may have gallstones and a growth in her gallbladder according to the results of the ultrasound. Gallstones can cause pain in the upper abdomen or back, nausea, and vomiting. The mass in the gallbladder needs further investigation so another scan should be done. Also, the possible lymph node near the liver area might need more testing to know what it is. Your mum needs to see her doctor again and talk about what to do next as well as the treatment options for these things.

You might have an issue with the gallbladder. If you experience pain in the top right of your abdomen after eating - particularly fatty foods - it may be gallstones or inflammation. This can be confirmed with an ultrasound report. To relieve the pain, follow a low-fat diet and seek further advice from a gastroenterologist.

You could have appendicitis. Your appendix is infected, causing constant pain on the lower right side. Dizziness, high fever, poor appetite, weakness - those symptoms suggest appendicitis. Your infected appendix needs surgical removal immediately, or complications may arise. Visit a gastroenterologist.

Male | 49
This might be a condition called gastritis. The nuts you eat can irritate your stomach lining and cause you discomfort. Typical signs of gastritis are pain in the upper abdomen, bloating, and nausea. To ease the pain, try avoiding nuts for a while and eating easily digestible foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast. In addition, water intake can also be soothing. If the pain continues, it would be better to consult a gastroenterologist.

Your diabetes and CKD are likely causing your stomach ache, gas, cramps, and loose motions. These digestive issues can occur if your blood sugar levels and kidney disease are not well controlled. It's important to properly manage your diabetes and CKD to prevent worsening stomach problems. Eating smaller, frequent meals, drinking enough water, and adding fiber-rich foods can help. Be sure to talk to your gastroenterologist for a proper evaluation and management of these symptoms.
