Is chest pain post-meal just heartburn?
I’m having pain in my chest after having eaten 3 hours ago, is this heartburn or is it something more serious?

Surgical Gastroenterologist
Answered on 21st Oct '24
Heartburn occurs when the food pipe carries the stomach acid back up. The symptoms are a burning feeling in the chest or a sore throat after meals. If you suffer from heartburn, consider eating smaller meals, avoiding spicy foods, and lying down after eating, as they will help you deal with it. If the pain continues, see a gastroenterologist.

The main thing is this nagging pain on my upper left side that they can never discover the cause and then brush off when tests come back neg. Recently had an MRI that showed a narrowing in my bile duct,( which has come up in past cat scans and Previous MRI) and they brush off and say it's stable... The pain mood swings, non sleep bowel change, weight up and down,non sleep and list can go on without mentioning my lab numbers.iwas scheduled for an EUC/ECRP then he canceled it as" he realized I was a gastric patient.. The pain is there and I am at a loss.. Something is wrong, I don't want anything serious to happen to me as I have a9 yr old to raise I'm only 60 What should I do?? Help me
Female | 60
The left upper side hurt may relate to bile duct narrowing. This tube carries bile from liver to intestines. Narrowing can block bile, causing pain, issues. Seek your gastroenterologist's advice. Perhaps get a specialist review, familiar with your gastric bypass surgery effects. They can recommend actions to ease symptoms, prevent complications.

Female | Sana 29
Abdominal discomfort can arise from various factors, including digestive issues, muscle strain, or even reproductive health concerns. It's important to observe any accompanying symptoms, such as changes in bowel habits, fever, or persistent pain. In many cases, simple lifestyle changes, such as dietary adjustments and hydration, can provide relief. However, if the discomfort continues or worsens, seeking professional evaluation is key. A gastroenterologist can offer a thorough assessment and address any underlying conditions.

Why I am getting stomach pain with full back pain and right hand and left leg pain and nausea
Female | 17
You seem to be experiencing extreme discomfort. Stomach pains, back aches, limb pains, and nausea together indicate potential spinal or nerve issues. Sometimes, a localized problem radiates pain elsewhere. It's wise to consult a gastroenterologist to diagnose and treat the underlying cause properly.

Hi.Almost 17 days ago I drink my syrup when I drink one spoon I notice that there was some broken glass pieces,very tiny like sugar.i don't know o swallow some or not but I am really worried now what should I have to do now ?
Female | 25
Swallowing broken glass pieces is scary. Small amounts might pass without causing harm, but they could still scratch your throat or stomach. If you're feeling fine, eating soft foods and drinking plenty of water may help it pass safely. However, if you experience pain, vomiting, bleeding, or difficulty swallowing, seek medical care immediately.

Hi, I’ve been experiencing symptoms such as blood in my stool blood when I wipe pain in my bottom and stomach cramps and I don’t know what it could be I’ve been checked and it’s not piles or anal fishers or anything to do with stomach and intestines.
Female | 19
It’s understandable to feel concerned with your symptoms. Blood during bowel movements, discomfort in the anal area, and abdominal cramps could stem from various sources, including infections, inflammatory conditions, or vascular issues. Since you’ve been evaluated for piles and fissures, it would be wise to consult your gastroenterologist for further assessment. They may recommend additional tests to identify the underlying cause and suggest appropriate treatments. Staying hydrated and maintaining a balanced diet can also support your digestive health.

Female | 39
Pain starting in the middle of the chest and then extending to the person's back is a possible symptom of either acid reflux or heartburn. When there is an increase in swelling and at the same time intense pain, the possibility of inflammation in the digestive system cannot be ruled out. Eating smaller meals, avoiding spicy dishes, and sitting up after meals are some non-pharmacological measures largely recommended for acid reflux. Consult a Gastroenterologist for personal therapy when no result is seen after medication use.

My mother of age 64 has problem in breathing while swallowing saliva ,eating spicy foods,etc and also sometimes for the smell of chillies while frying.what should we do as a first aid at that moment of time?
Female | 64
This could be because of a condition called dysphagia, which is the difficulty in passing food down the throat. She could opt for taking in smaller sizes and try her best to keep away from hot foods. Water is also another good option. In case the condition persists, she should visit a gastroenterologist for appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

Hello doctor good morning, I'm Rajesh Kumar from West Bengal. Doctor I'm suffering from piles during 15 days I use medicine with help of doctor consultation. I feel very pain on anus area. I nothing understood what I do. At the anus area only pain happened not bleeding aa another thing.
Male | 26
It appears that you are suffering from pain in the anus area. This can be a common sign of piles, also known as hemorrhoids. Piles can be the reason for unpleasant sensations and pain, particularly when passing stool. The main reason for piles is the raised pressure in the blood vessels near the anus. To help with the pain, you can first, soak in hot water baths, apply over-the-counter creams, and, eat high-fiber foods to prevent straining while passing stool. If the pain continues or gets worse, it's time to talk with a gastroenterologist about other treatment options.

Incomplete bowel movement. The stool is either runny, balls or very sticky. Constant stomach pain especially when just woke up from a sleep/nap. It's been happening for over a year now. Sometimes can't evacuate at all even if I want. Green tea or hot drinks sometimes help and sometimes makes it worst
Other | 18
Inconsistent stool consistency, along with pain, can be linked to various factors, such as diet, hydration, stress, or gastrointestinal issues. It's great to hear that certain warm beverages offer some relief, but if symptoms persist, it’s essential to identify the underlying cause. Maintaining a balanced diet rich in fiber, staying hydrated, and managing stress can be helpful. However, given that this has been ongoing for over a year, I recommend consulting a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation and tailored guidance.

Male | 39
Experiencing discomfort in your abdomen along with gas can stem from various factors, including dietary choices, swallowing air, or digestive issues. Foods that are high in fat or fiber may contribute to bloating and discomfort. To alleviate these symptoms, try eating smaller meals, staying hydrated, and incorporating gentle physical activity like walking. Over-the-counter medications may also provide relief. However, if the pain persists or worsens, I strongly encourage you to consult a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation.
