I'm a bit confused about how to take Liv 52 tablets. Should I be having them before eating or after meals? Just want to make sure I'm doing it right.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The recommended dosage of Liv 52 is 2-3 tablets, 2-3 times a day, and it's best taken after food to minimize potential stomach upset

View allI'm 32 years old and have been experiencing chest pain when I get angry or cry for the last six months. I checked with ECG and ECHO TMT, and everything came out normal. No palpitations or shortness of breath, but I do have a lot of belching and epigastric pain. Im taking two pantocid tablets now. It's scary because it feels like I might be having a heart attack. My gut says something isn't right, and it's really worrying me. Since the pain started, I've become quieter. Any idea what could be going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux, which can often mimic heart-related issues. The chest pain triggered by emotions, along with belching and epigastric pain, are common symptoms of acid reflux. Since your ECG, ECHO, and TMT results are normal, it is less likely to be related to your heart. To help with your symptoms, continue taking Pantocid as prescribed. Additionally, you can try taking an antacid like Rantac (150mg) when you experience epigastric pain. Avoid spicy and acidic foods, eat smaller meals, and try not to eat close to bedtime. It may also be helpful to elevate the head of your bed while sleeping. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it would be advisable to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and possible referral to a gastroenterologist.

I'm dealing with mild proctitis and my doctor suggested I take Ornicef tablets. However, I've had a reaction to the ornidazole in itmy mouth's lining has swollen and I've taken cetrizine but now my eyes have turned red too. Do you have any advice on what I should do next?
Make a note of the allergic trigger and ensure to add this information to your medical records for future consults. According to your symptoms, the allergic response does not seem to be severe, however, if the swelling and inflammation seem to be worsening, do not delay in visiting a nearby physician. You may require intravenous anthistamines or steroid therapy.

I've been dealing with GERD for 20 years and take PPIs daily. Even after changing my lifestyle, I still feel food getting stuck in my throat. Some doctors recommend surgery while others say it's not needed or might not work. I'm really confused and frustrated because GERD is ruining my life. Is surgery actually a permanent solution for this? I'm ready to consider it if it can help me finally get relief.
While surgery (like laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication) can be highly effective in treating GERD, it's not always a "permanent" solution, and it's not appropriate for everyone. , it's the last treatment option after lifestyle changes and medications fail, and even then, it doesn't guarantee complete eradication of symptoms.
