I'm a 36-year-old male dealing with a duodenal ulcer. I've been on treatment but it's not helping, and even after a small surgery at Fortis Hospital, the issue keeps coming back. The stomach pain is really bothering me can I take Meftal Spas for relief?

Question

I'm really worried about this chest pain I've been having around the middle part, along with some light back pain in the upper area. It's been going on for like 23 days. I don't have a cough, but I do get a lot of burping. A couple of months ago, I saw a pulmonologist because of some mild chest pain, and my x-ray came back normal. He said it was probably gas. The thing is, I used to smoke for about five years but quit two months ago. Could the smoking have something to do with it, or is it really just gas causing this pain? What should I do next?

Question

I'm really worried because I've had a stomach ache and an upset stomach for the past two days. I feel nauseous all the time and can't seem to get any sleep. On top of that, I've got a bad cough and cold. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on and what I should do?

Question

I'm having trouble with regular bowel movements. It's only happening about once a week. I'd love some advice on how to have them more regularly in the mornings. Also, I'm dealing with some pain on the right side of my stomach. Could you suggest what might be going on and how to address it?
