These signs could indicate a problem like appendicitis or kidney stones. A qualified gastroenterologist can make the right diagnosis and treatment plan. You must get checked out as soon as possible because putting off medical attention may be detrimental to your health.

hello doctor, i’ve recently came down with a fever and a headache in the past few days that has been resolved now. but i have a new set of symptoms, whenever i am stood up i cannot stop belching/burping. this does not happen when i am lying down, however, my stomach and abdomen rumble a lot when i’m lying down. my only other symptom is constipation

Male | 15

The symptoms you are showing, such as wheezing standing up, a rumble in the stomach while lying down, and constipation, could be a sign of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). This can be produced by stress, certain meals, or even hormonal shifts. Maintaining a food diary and doing deep breathing exercises may help you relax. It's also important to drink water and consume a diet rich in fiber which will help constipation. If your symptoms persist, do not hesitate to contact a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and guidance. Take care!

I have a symptomatic gallstone from previous 20 years and my gall bladder also distended but no symptoms is showing what should I do ...

Female | 52

It looks like you’ve had a gallstone for a while now, and it has made your gallbladder stretch. Normally, gallstones bring pain, nausea, and yellowing of your skin. If you don’t have any symptoms, you might not need immediate treatment. You should have a nutritious diet and visit your doctor for regular check-ups.

Stomach bloating that make feel discomfort to someone

Female | 28

Bloating can cause discomfort and is often due to indigestion, gas, or dietary choices. Common symptoms include a feeling of fullness, visible swelling in the abdomen, and occasional pain. To alleviate this, try to eat smaller meals, avoid carbonated drinks, and incorporate fiber gradually into your diet. Staying active with light exercise can also help. If these simple adjustments don't bring relief or if your discomfort persists, I encourage you to consult a gastroenterologist. They can provide tailored advice and rule out any underlying issues.

High blood presure and cough.. Acidity

Female | 70

High blood pressure combined with a cough that tastes acidic could signify acid reflux. The stomach acid travels upward, entering the food pipe, resulting in a burning sensation. Acid reflux can trigger coughing and exacerbate high blood pressure. To alleviate symptoms, avoid spicy and fatty foods. Consume smaller meals. Refrain from eating too close to bedtime. If necessary, your doctor may prescribe medication to reduce acidity.

Hi I have amaebiosis history which was cured by ayurveda bt i wasn't able to follow all the rules so it was never fully cured though. I still have issues n it's for last 8 years. I hv constant gases whole day and pain in my left side in stomach. M scared to visit doctors i hope i don't hv to do surgery or any painful process. What should I do.

Female | 26

You seem to have persistent tummy troubles. Frequent gas and aches on your left side could point to digestive problems. Your past amebiasis might be contributing too. Understandably, you want to avoid surgery. To feel better, try eating smaller portions, steering clear of spicy cuisine, and drinking plenty of fluids. But it's also wise to speak with a gastroenterologist about other potential remedies.

I have recently noticed that my bowel movements have shown a flat side. No bleeding. I have had these hemorrhoids for at least 6 months. Some days they're almost nonexistent. Some days they pop out of the anus and feel annoying, but they hardly ever hurt in any way. It is hard to tell, but there are some days where the stool looks completely normal. No flat side that I can see. I had a colonoscopy (at 39 yrs old) 2+ years ago. A polyp was removed and 3 hemorrhoids were banded. I am very healthy. I am 2 years sober, high protein diet, strength training, active job, don't smoke, and do everything with health in mind. I take sertraline for anxiety and a few supplements. I am scheduled to see my Dr in a month. My anxiety always makes me think it's the worst! Google searches tell me that hemorrhoids won't likely change the stool shape. I am in need of answers please!

Male | 41

This can result from dietary changes or minor intestinal troubles. Hemorrhoids rarely cause flat stools. As a recent colonoscopy was done, serious worries are unlikely. Maintaining healthy habits is wise. It's advisable to inform a doctor about this during the upcoming appointment for accurate guidance.
