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:
- Supporting bone health
- Relaxing muscles
- Reducing muscle spasms
However, consider the following:
- Consult your doctor before starting any new supplements.
- Shelcal 500 mg is primarily for calcium and vitamin D supplementation, not specifically for back pain relief.
- Everyday intake may lead to excessive calcium consumption.
Recommendation:
- Consult an orthopedic specialist or physical therapist to address underlying causes of back pain.
- Maintain good posture, take regular breaks, and stretch while sitting.
- Consider exercises strengthening your core and back muscles.
Discuss Shelcal 500 mg with your doctor, and follow their guidance.

View allI'm a bit worried because I just drank Hot Milk Tea right after having Whey Protein with water. Should I be expecting any stomach issues, or is it okay to mix those two? I'm curious if anyone else had this experience or if it might cause any problems for me.
Consuming hot milk tea immediately after whey protein with water is unlikely to cause significant stomach issues, as milk and protein can complement each other, but potential discomfort may arise from the temperature change, lactose intolerance, or individual sensitivity to dairy or protein, so monitor your body's response and adjust your routine accordingly.

I'm a 23-year-old guy dealing with hypothyroidism and currently taking 100mcg tablets. Last month I had appendicitis surgery, and now I'm struggling with gastric issues. On top of that, I'm taking vitamin D supplements for a deficiency and have persistent left knee joint pain. My digestion is also messed up passing stools is painful and irritating. All these health issues are making me really depressed. Which specialist should I see for all this?

I'm curious about something that keeps coming up in my ultrasound scans. They always mention that the pancreas is obscured by bowel gas. Is it normal to have gas around the pancreas, or should I be concerned about this? Can gas be around other organs too? I'm just trying to understand if there's anything I should be worried about.
The phrase "pancreas obscured by bowel gas" refers to the fact that the pancreas is not clearly visible on an ultrasound because gas in the bowel is blocking the view. This is a common occurrence and not necessarily abnormal
