I'm dealing with a really heavy feeling in my chest because of excess gas. It's happening every day no matter what I do, and whatever I eat seems to only make it worse. Most of the time, I feel like there's a lot of gas trapped near my chest area, and it's super uncomfortable. What can I do about this?

You may be experiencing symptoms of excessive gas and bloating. To help relieve these symptoms, you can try taking Simethicone (Gas-X) 125mg tablets. You can take 1-2 tablets after meals and at bedtime as needed to help break up the gas bubbles in your digestive tract. Additionally, you can try avoiding foods that commonly cause gas such as beans, broccoli, cabbage, and carbonated drinks. Drinking peppermint tea or taking a probiotic supplement like Align can also help improve digestion and reduce gas. If your symptoms persist, it's best to consult with a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

Question

I've just gotten my abdomen sonogram results, and everything seems okay, except there are a few small calculi found in my gall bladder. I'm wondering if this is something I should be worried about. Can these be dealt with without surgery, or what's the best treatment approach?

Question

I'm a female in my late teens and I've been having this weird thing lately, like for over a week now. My stomach's making all these gurgling sounds, and I've got some persistent digestive noises going on. On top of that, my hip area and lower back are feeling sore. I'm getting a bit worried about it. Do you think I should be concerned? Any idea what might be causing this?

Question

I'm a female and have been struggling with this issue for about three years now. Every time I masturbate at night, I wake up the next morning with really intense stomach pain that lasts for around four days. During those days, the pain is so bad that I can't even eat because it makes the pain worse. I've noticed this only happens after I masturbate; otherwise, I'm totally normal. I've gone to several gynecologists, but none have been able to help. I'm really desperate to find a solution to this. What could be causing these severe stomach pains after masturbation, and how can I get relief?
