symptoms come and go, but are severe when they occur symptoms started three days ago and got worse today symtoms include severe presssure, cramping and tension around the belly button area and middle of the abdomen, swollen abdomen, minor tenderness and soreness, intense discomfort could these symptoms be caused by my changes in diet and stress levels? why do thy symptoms come and go?

Female | 20

The symptoms you're going through, namely tightness and cramps in the stomach, could be connected to changes in diet as well as stress levels. When stressed out, our body shows it mostly around the abdomen area. Symptoms coming and disappearing could be because of different levels of stress at different times and how the body handles various foods. Use some relaxation methods; keep a diary of what you eat so that you may know the foods that set off the symptoms.

You are experiencing a difficult stomach ache that feels like a knife tearing from the middle to the lower part of the stomach. This type of pain could be due to gas or indigestion. You know sometimes it may occur if you eat too fast or spicy food. At first, try eating slowly and avoiding spicy foods. Drinking warm water can also help to calm your stomach. If the pain is steadfast or increasing, visit a gastroenterologist.

Hi i am 17 years old and i have doubt that i have colon cancer because i almost have every symptom

Male | 17

While colon cancer predominantly affects older individuals, understanding the potential symptoms is crucial. Noticeable signs include abdominal discomfort, changes in bowel patterns, bloody stools, and unexplained weight loss. Adopting a healthy lifestyle with plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and regular exercise can help reduce risks. If you have concerns, consulting a gastroenterologist is advisable.

I have been having discomfort in my right lower abdomen for 3 weeks. When it started, I woke up with abdominal pain and went to breakfast, but during it I could barely keep from throwing up. All that day I felt a little nauseous and my stomach hurt on sudden movements (also my stomach made noises). The next day the pain became more constant and intensified. I could not straighten up without pain in my lower abdomen. That day I went to the doctor with a suspicion of appendicitis. I was palpated, but was told that it was not clear exactly and told to come back the next day. The next day the pain was less, the doctor palpated me again and I had an ultrasound. The ultrasound showed that I had an enlarged kidney bowl and lymph nodes. I was admitted to the hospital but did not know which department (first they wanted to put me in urology but in the end they put me in the infectious diseases department for some reason). Also, the blood tests when I first came to the hospital had elevated white blood cells. I was discharged after 2 days and have been home for 3 weeks now (I have been on a diet and drinking 1.5 litres of water a day not counting tea) but the discomfort in my right lower abdomen sometimes returns

Male | 14

Your symptoms could be caused by various factors. Although appendicitis was initially suspected, your diagnosis seems unclear. The enlarged kidney and lymph nodes seen in the ultrasound could suggest urinary or infection-related issues. With your ongoing discomfort, it's advisable to follow up with your gastroenterologist for further evaluation.

I am a 18 year old female who is experiencing chest tightness since last night. I drank omeprazole earlier but its still here. When I lay on my side the chest tightness will get worse but when I lay in my back the chest tightness will get better. Is it acid reflux?

Female | 18

It sounds like you might be experiencing acid reflux. This happens when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing chest discomfort. Lying on your side can make this worse because it allows the acid to move up more easily. To help with this, try avoiding spicy or acidic foods, eat smaller meals, and stay upright after eating. You can also elevate the head of your bed while sleeping to keep the acid down. If these tips don't improve your symptoms, it's best to see a gastroenterologist for further evaluation.

Hello Doctor, 2 calculi of size12.4mm and 7.3mm have been noted in gal bladder one in fundus and other in neck respectively in ultrasound. I am having issue of pain in abdomen and back and nausea and headache. After the results of ultrasound what will be further treatment required. And also want to know if still endoscopy is required after detection in ultrasound?

Female | 33

Based on the ultrasound results, it seems that you have gallstones in your gallbladder, which is causing abdominal and back pain, nausea, and headache. And endoscopy is not required to diagnose or treat gallstones. But in some cases, an endoscopic ultrasound is used to get a better view of the gallbladder and surrounding structures. I recommend consulting with a gastroenterologist or a surgeon for further evaluation and treatment options.

Sir I have pain in my stomach but in my empty stomach I get blood through sputum and after that my headaches and I'm not able. To eat any proper food

Female | 22

Coughing blood, headaches, and difficulty eating - these signs suggest a stomach issue. An ulcer or inflammation could be the culprit. Ignoring it risks bigger problems, so see a doctor soon. For now, spicy or acidic foods may worsen symptoms, so choose easy-to-digest meals instead. Stay hydrated by drinking lots of water.

Male | 25

The "atrophic mucosa" means the lining of your gut is unhealthy. Eating gutkha can hurt your gut, but it does not relate to gluten. With celiac disease, you may have diarrhea, weight loss, and feel tired. The fix is following a strict no-gluten diet. This means avoiding foods with wheat, barley, and rye. By doing this, your gut can heal up and you will feel better overall.

I am a 30 years old female. It been some few weeks I'm experiencing a crying stomach from time to time even if I have eaten food

Female | 30

There are several possible causes for this, including eating too much or too quickly, or certain foods not reacting well with your stomach. Do you find that it gets worse with particular foods? Try having smaller meals at a slower pace and see if there’s anything that consistently triggers your stomach ache. If the problem persists, it would be wise to consult a gastroenterologist.

Hello , I have pain in my lower abdomen below my belly button and continues over my belly button and when I press my belly it hurts on the right side , I have COVID and I had some gastrointestinal symptoms could this be something more serious like appendicitis? I also have gas and burping

Male | 22

It's important to seek proper medical evaluation and treatment for your symptoms. Abdominal pain can be caused by appendicitis. And Covid 19 can also cause gastrointestinal symptoms. Inform your doctor about your symptoms, medical history, and covid19 status. Gas and burping alone are not specific to appendicitis.

I have had dizziness for a year now. It only seems to be at night when I am laying down and when I can't get all of my poo out. I get a bit constipated every period and this effects my head every month.

Female | 20

You might have vasovagal syncope. This occurs when there is a rapid drop in blood pressure and heart rate, which causes fainting. Additionally, being constipated can aggravate this condition as it compresses your nerves. To alleviate it, make sure to drink more water, eat foods rich in fiber and consult with a gastroenterologist for further assessment and treatment options.

Female | 17

You should see a gastroenterologist for the assessment of your symptom of chest pain. Whereas the acid reflux might be a possible cause but it is necessary to rule out the other serious diseases like heart problems. Immediate medical attention should be sought without delay to establish an early diagnosis and treatment.

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.

Hlo ma'am mai 3 may ko unwanted 72 tablet Li thi aur kl se mere pet me drd h aur loose motions h kya kru

Female | 25

I understand you’re feeling sick after taking Unwanted 72. The pain in your stomach and diarrhea can be due to the side effects of the drug. This happens because it contains hormones that affect your body. Drink lots of water so that you don’t get dehydrated. Eat light meals such as bananas, rice, and bread. Take a rest and do not eat spicy or greasy foods. If the symptoms persist then please visit a gastroenterologist.

I am a 21 year old. I am experiencing mild stomach cramping and need like pain. And sharp pain on my lower abdomen especially while urinating

Female | 21

It appears that a UTI might be the problem you’re having. UTIs sometimes lead to cramps in the stomach along with pain in the back or a sudden sharp pain in the lower abdomen when you urinate. These occur because bacteria have entered your urethra. You should drink plenty of water and take antibiotics. To avoid getting more UTIs, make sure to urinate after sex and keep good hygiene.
