Question

I'm sometimes hit with sudden breathlessness, especially after a big meal when my stomach feels really full. This has been going on for around 34 months and I often get these acidic burps. I'm also on medication for panic attacks, taking Serta 100 mg at night. I've also noticed that I've gained weight and my stomach's grown because I haven't been very active. Could this be related to obesity?

Question

I've been dealing with chronic acidity issues for a long time, and it seems to run in my family as both my mom and dad have a history of gastric problems. It's been particularly tough after relocating to Bangalorethings have become quite unbearable lately. I generally take 150mg of Zintac after lunch, and if it's really bad, I take Omez in the morning too. However, for the past two weeks, I've been waking up with a nauseous feeling and get heartburn within an hour after breakfast. My breakfast is usually at 7 AM, and by 10 AM, the heartburn subsides but I still feel acidic. The same cycle repeats after lunch around 12:30. I even try to eat fruit in between. Things get worse after 4 PM, with more acidity but no heartburn, just a burpy sensation. I notice I have gas mostly at night, but it's not excessive. When I take Zintac after lunch and dinner, it seems to help. Could you advise on what else I might do to manage this persistent acidity?

Question

I'm a bit concerned because for the past month my stool has been kind of granular instead of solid. Should I be worried about this? Would love some guidance.

Question

I'm having some discomfort right at the opening of my anus, but there's no blood in my stools. I am also experiencing loose motions. Can you help me understand what's going on?
