I had an episode of vomiting with blood yesterday, and I'm a regular smoker and drinker. Could you help me understand why that might have happened and what kind of doctor I should reach out to?

Back pain from prolonged sitting is common.

Shelcal 500 mg (Calcium and Vitamin D3) may help alleviate back pain by:

  1. Supporting bone health
  2. Relaxing muscles
  3. Reducing muscle spasms

However, consider the following:

  1. Consult your doctor before starting any new supplements.
  2. Shelcal 500 mg is primarily for calcium and vitamin D supplementation, not specifically for back pain relief.
  3. Everyday intake may lead to excessive calcium consumption.

Recommendation:

  1. Consult an orthopedic specialist or physical therapist to address underlying causes of back pain.
  2. Maintain good posture, take regular breaks, and stretch while sitting.
  3. Consider exercises strengthening your core and back muscles.

Discuss Shelcal 500 mg with your doctor, and follow their guidance.

I'm feeling really uneasy and have this terrible vomiting sensation along with gas. I've tried taking pudin hara tablets and even vomited once, but the feeling hasn't gone away. I also took a pantop 40 for the gas, but I'm still not feeling any better. Since it's Dussehra, I'm not sure if I can find a doctor right now apart from emergency services. Could you please advise me on what I can do to actually vomit and maybe feel some relief?

drink plenty of water and give some rest it will reduce

Found a 9mm gallstone during my company health checkup what should I do next is there any medicine to dissolve it or do I need surgery could this stone cause problems later

A 9mm gallstone found during a health checkup requires follow-up with a doctor. While medication can sometimes dissolve gallstones, especially cholesterol stones, it's not a guaranteed solution and may take months or years. Surgery (cholecystectomy) to remove the gallbladder is often the preferred treatment for symptomatic gallstones, and it's generally more effective than medication. Whether or not the stone will cause problems later depends on whether it causes symptoms, and if so, what kind of symptoms.
