Question 1

I've been dealing with GERD for about 7 months, and I've been switched between a few different antacids during that time. My symptoms have gotten much better lately, and my appetite is finally good again. But now I'm having issues with my menstrual cyclegoing from amenorrhea to oligomenorrhea over the past monthand I'm also feeling a bit drowsy. Could this be because of the Levosulpiride I'm taking? I'm not sure if I should keep on with the treatment or consider stopping it. What do you think?

Accepted Answer

Levosulpiride can indeed cause hormonal imbalances leading to menstrual irregularities like amenorrhea or oligomenorrhea in some cases. Since you have developed these symptoms after starting Levosulpiride, it is possible that it could be the cause. I recommend discussing this with your doctor to explore alternative medications for your GERD that do not have this side effect.

Question 2

I'm having a tough time with this. I saw a general physician who prescribed me flatuna tablets and a gasinoxuni enzyme, but there's been no improvement. Every time I eat, even just a little, I get really breathless for a while afterward. Do you have any other suggestions or medications that might help?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may need further evaluation to rule out other underlying causes of breathlessness, such as digestive issues or respiratory conditions. If the current medication hasn't worked, I suggest revisiting your doctor for a more comprehensive examination or testing. They may consider other treatments, including antacids, proton pump inhibitors, or even a respiratory check.

Question 3

I'm really worried because for the past 23 days I've been having severe problems. I'm experiencing a lot of pain in my anus whenever I'm having a bowel movement, and it feels like I constantly have to go to the bathroom. It's painful all the time and I don't know what to do or which doctor I should see about this. Could you please help me figure this out?

Having pain in my abdomen especially near the belly button since this morning. Had hernia surgery 5 years back and gallbladder surgery 9 years ago could this be related to my past surgeries or something new?
