Question

Ive been noticing this weird sensation, like something's moving inside my stomach, especially when I sleep on it. It doesn't hurt, but it feels unusual. Could it possibly be some type of worm or parasite? Any insights would be really helpful.

It is possible that you may have intestinal worms. I recommend taking Albendazole 400mg as a single dose. This medication is effective against a variety of intestinal parasites. It is important to follow up with a repeat dose after 2 weeks to ensure complete eradication of the worms.

I've just got my Fibroscan report and it says the median stiffness is 7.9 Kpa. I'm really confused about what this means. Does this indicate I've got fatty liver? Could you help me understand this better and let me know what steps I should take next?

Question

I'm dealing with gas and flatulence a lot, like up to 14 times a day for the last three months. My health's pretty good otherwiseall my health check-ups came back normal. I'm 44 years old, weigh 81 kg, and I'm about 5'10". However, about a month ago, I noticed a bit of blood when I was cleaning up after a bowel movement. I went to see a surgeon, and they said I have second-grade external piles. Could the flatulence be causing the piles? What kind of treatment or medicine should I be considering? I work a middle-management job that involves mostly sitting at a desk and some traveling. Right now, I'm using pilorute cream twice a day and taking 15 ml of lactulose at night. Any advice would be really helpful.

Question

I've been having this really strange issue whenever I drink water. It kind of feels like it's getting stuck in my esophagus or something, and then I can't breathe for like a minute or two. It's pretty scary and it seems like I might not be able to breathe again. Do you have any idea what might be going on?
