I had an endoscopy a few days ago and now my chest is really hurting. Should I be concerned and go get it checked out, or is it okay to wait a bit longer?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Chest pain after an endoscopy can sometimes occur due to irritation from the procedure. However, if the pain is severe or persistent, it is important to seek medical attention to rule out any serious complications. You can take over-the-counter antacids like Tums (dosage: 2 tablets every 4-6 hours as needed) for relief in the meantime. If the pain worsens or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms, such as difficulty breathing or severe heartburn, please seek medical help immediately.

View allHey, so I've started noticing this strange thing where I can actually see my stomach pulsing, mostly when I'm lying down and my belly is flat, but not so much when I'm sitting. It's happening around my belly button area. I'm not really thin, with a height of 5'8" and a weight of 67kg. I also have PCOD, so there's some extra fat around my stomach because of that. Is this pulsing something I should be worried about, or could it be serious?
The visible pulse in your stomach, noticeable when lying down, could be due to various factors, including aortic pulsation, abdominal aortic aneurysm, or increased abdominal pressure, but given your PCOD and stomach fat, it's more likely related to aortic pulsation, which is generally not a cause for concern;

I'm concerned because I seem to be passing motion about 4-5 times a day, especially after 12 hours of eating anything, and it happens more when I'm at the office. But when I'm at home, it's only about twice, like in the morning and evening. Why could this be happening, and is there something specific I should do?
The urge to poop after eating is usually caused by the gastrocolic reflex, a naturalHere are some lifestyle changes that may help with gastrocolic reflex: Eat smaller meals: Eat several smaller meals throughout the day instead of three large meals. Avoid certain foods: Limit or avoid foods that make symptoms worse, such as deep-fried or spicy foods, or meals high in fat. Drink fluids: Drink plenty of fluids, such as water, to keep things moving. Take probiotics: Take a probiotic supplement or eat foods rich in probiotics, like kimchi, sauerkraut, or low-fat yogurt. Manage stress: Try yoga, breathing exercises, guided imagery, or meditation to reduce stress. Exercise: Increasing physical activity can help. Take stool softeners: If stools are hard, take stool softeners with meals. Try peppermint: Take peppermint oil before meals or sip peppermint tea after meals.
