Hello. I am 23 years old and I've had heartburn for more than 3 y

Asked for Male | 23 Years

Hello. I am 23 years old and I've had heartburn for more than 3 years. Last year in April I took Dexilant 60mg for about 2 weeks and my symptoms were gone for about 2 months. However, the symptoms started coming back after that and I've been having heartburn almost every day since then. I've occasionally been using Pepcid Complete for my symptoms but I know that this isn't a permanent solution. So can you please tell me when I should be worried about heartburn and what kind of treatments are there for heartburn?

Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar

Seek medical attention as it could indicate an underlying issue like GERD. It can be treated with lifestyle changes, over the counter medications (antacids and H2 blockers), and prescription medications. Untreated heartburn can lead to complications, so don't delay seeking help. Consult with a gastroenterologist.

I am a 59 years old, weigh 120 and 5'6". I am having an issue when I eat something one night everything is fine but I eat leftovers the next night and I get bloating, gas, diarrhea and stomach ache. This does not happen all the time but often enough I have try keeping a food diary but that not working very well because I eat something and nothing happens but next time I eat the same thing I get bloating, gas, diarrhea and stomach ache. I tried the FODMAP diet but some of the food they recommend have caused the issues. So I asked Dr. if they could arrange a test for food intolerant test. I was there is not one.

Male | 59

According to your symptoms of bloating, gas, diarrhea and stomach pain after consuming the leftovers you most likely have cases of food poison or intolerance. Generally, it is better to seek advice from a specialist and undergo testing in order to determine the root of your symptoms. In the meantime, follow simple diet

Yesterday i went to toilet 3 times and each time i had blood with my stool. At the 3rd time even with fart the blood came out. Today i went to toilet. There was no stool came out but with fart blood came out. Also the anul are has burning feeling with pain. What it possibly could be?

Male | 36

You might have hemorrhoids. These are enlarged blood vessels in the anal canal that can bleed and hurt. They usually occur after periods of constipation when people strain too hard during bowel movements or sit for long periods without taking breaks. You should eat more fiber-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while also staying hydrated by drinking at least 8 glasses of water each day. If your symptoms persist or worsen despite these efforts then I recommend seeing a gastroenterologist.

Female | 55

The grade 2 Hiatus hernia, which you were diagnosed with earlier, could be the causing the symptoms. This is a situation in which your stomach part is being pushed back up into your chest. Making changes to your diet, eating less food, and steering clear of your trigger foods can make your symptoms go away. Your gastroenterologist needs to keep checking you to make sure your condition is being managed properly.

However, some tips help. Eat smaller portions. Avoid spicy and fatty choices. Stay upright after meals. Drink water frequently. Try antacids from stores. But if troubles continue, see a gastroenterologist.

I am 18 yeras old.. I actually ate cheetos but the packet was kept open for 2 days in the cupboard..

Female | 18

If you have eaten Cheetos from a bag open for 2 days, you might get a sore stomach, feel sick, or have diarrhea. The reason for this is that when food is left out it gets covered in bacteria. The best way to help yourself is by drinking plenty of fluids such as water or squash eating plain things like toast and rice then resting If your condition deteriorates, visit a gastroenterologist.

25 year old female last night I started experiencing sharp pain on the lower right side of my stomach near pelvic area that radiates down to my hip and leg and now I'm also feeling nausea

Female | 25

You might be dealing with appendicitis. This is the case when a small part of your belly, known as the appendix, gets enlarged and causes severe pain. The pain might be displaced to your hip and leg. Nausea is a typical symptom as well. You must visit a gastroenterologist. The surgical method is warranted in a majority of cases to get rid of the inflamed appendix and help you be in a good state of health again.

Mild stomach pain. Bites after a while. At last I ate chicken and fish in the afternoon

Male | 25

You seem to have food poisoning. Food poisoning symptoms may consist of mild belly upset followed by throwing up or diarrhea after some time. Emissions of undercooked fowl or fish may result in stomach pain only. To cure the situation, get enough rest, drink lots of water, and forgo eating for a couple of hours. If it so happens that the symptoms you have become more severe or remain, it would be better if you visit a gastroenterologist.

Female | 27

You're permitted to drink chamomile tea while taking Nexvennela and Ambitus tablets. Chamomile tea is usually safe and might even assist with relaxation. Feeling nauseous, vomiting, and headaches are common side effects of these medicines. Chamomile tea can sometimes help soothe such symptoms. However, remember: drink chamomile tea moderately. Inform your doctor if you experience any unusual reactions.

I have difficulty in eating and drinking cuz whenever i eat, after a few bites I have difficulty in swallowing food like I feel tightness in chest and shortness of breath like I take deep breaths while eating and I fear while swallowing food as if it might block my trachea or I would choke. Last year, I gave my exams and during my exams I took too much stress and didnt eat anything (eating very little whole day or even just bites of food due to exam stress). After that, I encountered somehow same issue as I developed nausea which interfered with swallowing so I feared swallowing. This time, when I gave my exams, I am encountering the situation I told you. What can be this thing and what measures should I take?

Female | 24

You might have Globus pharyngeus, a condition stress or anxiety triggers. It makes swallowing hard, tightens chests, causes shortness of breath, and scares you while eating. Eat slowly in calm places, and breathe deeply. Relax through deep breathing exercises or meditation helps. Drinking lots of water with meals aids swallowing. Consult a gastroenterologist if issues continue.

If you're experiencing constipation and soft stools, try increasing your water intake, eating a fiber-rich diet, maintaining regular mealtimes, and staying physically active. Stress reduction techniques can also help. Consider consulting a gastroenterologist if the issue persists or worsens, as it may be related to some medical condition.

Stomach pain upper stomach heart below

Female | 19

This kind of pain can be caused by things like indigestion, ulcers, or acid reflux. You need to take notice of your other possible symptoms such as bloating or nausea. It is possible however that the doctors prescribe you medication to help with the side effects due to the bacterial infections, adding natural products as a secondary instance to relieve you of this ailment. You may find that eating smaller meals and steering clear of spicy or greasy food causes discomfort, and eventually, it may disappear. If the pain is still there, then you should see 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.

Male | 35

It seems like you are experiencing constipation. Constipation refers to the difficulty in having a bowel movement. It may happen to people who have an insufficient amount of fiber in their diet, drink less water, or are less active. Eat fruits and vegetables, drink a proper amount of water, and take a short walk. If the issue persists, the best step will be to have a conversation with a gastroenterologist who will give you some advice.
