Swallowed a Coin Without Symptoms: Should I See a Doctor?

Patient's Query

I have swallowed a coin but I have no symptoms of vomiting breathing or swallowing issues or any kind of abdominal pain should I consult a doc then also

Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar

This can be a life threatening issue. If you have accidentally ingested a coin even if there are no symptoms, it is recommended to a doctor. The location and position of the coin can be detected by conducting an X-ray. Therefore, a visit to the gastroenterologist is recommended for further evaluation and treatment.

Hi Sir, kindly help me out to get out confusion and frustration. 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.Sometimes 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 My 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) along with Amixide h(chlorodizapoxide +amitryptiline) . Whenever my gut starts paining I took it and pain fade away.I am very confused about this.Stomach pain goes away and comes back. About year ago this problem has started. And just take 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. Can you guys help me to correctly understand the disease and ways to overcome it.

Sir Yesterday I was sitting and enjoyed some snacks.suddenly I felt uncomfortable my chest was shivering and full body get sweaty.i go near fan and relaxed for a while. But in morning I feel inadequate sleep not feeling well vertigo.

You may have some signs of indigestion, which is the result of gastritis when your stomach is having a difficult time digesting food. This may occur when you are eating fast or spicy food, which causes this. The chest shivering and sweaty sensation may be connected with your stomach feeling uncomfortable. Please try to eat less and don't keep away from spicy food.

I have stomach pain and visit doctor and take medicine but I can't feel better

Female | 23

Different things such as indigestion, gastritis, or infections can cause stomach pains. When you go back to your doctor this time you let the doctor know that what they gave you last time did not work. The doctor might need to run more tests so they can find out what’s happening and give you something that’ll make you feel better.

I (Age 22, male) eat junk food(a sandwich or a roll) every Wednesday. I also eat puri sagu (south indian food - about 7 in quantity) every Sunday. It is not exactly junk food. Is this a bad habit? Should I reduce it? Or is it not a problem?

Male | 22

You're wise to think about e­ating habits. Weekly sandwiches and rolls are­n't ideal. Too much junk food causes weight gain, high chole­sterol, and heart issues. Balance­ meals with fruits, vegetable­s, and whole grains. Swap some junk food for healthie­r choices.

If the gall bladder has wall thickening, patients should get a gastroenterologist as soon as possible. They are experts on diseases of the digestive tract and can effectively report the diagnosis as well as the treatment.

My query is gluten free meal good for high blood pressure

Male | 44

Meals without gluten may help high blood pre­ssure. High blood pressure ofte­n has no symptoms, but it can bring headaches, chest pain, e­xhaustion. A gluten-free die­t with veggies, fruits, lean prote­ins, and whole grains may lower blood pressure­.

Morning have been having stomachpain since Friday cos I ate late and am still having pain and I can't tolerate anything cos whenever I lay down I keep throwing up

Female | 29

It looks like you damaged your gastric mucosa or, perhaps, you have a stomach ulcer. It is crucial to see a gastroenterologist as quickly as you can for the accurate root cause of your symptoms and the best treatment. In the interim, it would be wise to steer clear of foods that may irritate your stomach and drink a good amount of water to remain hydrated.
