Question

I've been noticing dark blood in my stools over the past week, and I used to have some gastric problems before. I'm really worried about what's causing this. What could be going on, and what's the best care I can take for this? Can anyone help me understand this better?

Question

I'm a bit confused about when I should take my next dose of Buscopan Plus for my tummy ache. Is it okay to have it every 4 hours, or should I wait until 6 p.m.? I just want to make sure I'm taking it correctly.

Question

I've been dealing with black and bloody stools with mucus for about 10 days now, and it's really worrying me. I also get this dull pain in the middle of my stomach after meals and usually see the blood in my stool 2 to 3 hours after eating. I'm having 3 to 4 bowel movements a day with blood and mucus, and it's exhausting. Besides that, I feel really full, weak, and tired all the time, and even breathing seems a bit harder. I've already seen a doctor who prescribed me Enteroquinol and Revkzole, but it's been four days and there's no relief. Could this be something serious? Should I consider getting a second opinion, or maybe ask for more tests?

Question

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with indigestion for a week now. Everything I eat just comes back up with some sour water, and on top of that, I'm experiencing chest and shoulder pains, feeling lightheaded and dizzy, plus there's this burning feeling in my stomach. Is all this just due to acidity, or could it be something more serious like a heart attack? I'm not sure what to think and would appreciate any advice.
