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've been experiencing some trouble breathing after I have dinner and then lie down in bed. It's strange because it doesn't really happen all the time, just usually after I eat and go to lie down. I end up having to take these deep breaths through my mouth because it feels like I'm not getting enough air. But what's odd is that if I wake up in the middle of the night, I don't have the same problem. Is this something I should be concerned about?
GERD SYMPTOMS
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
I'm having this really uncomfortable issue with gas that seems to flare up after lunch and gradually gets worse by the evening. It's like my digestive power just isn't what it used to be. I feel hungry, but when I eat, it doesn't seem to digest properly, and my stomach feels tight. Even if I eat just a little bit, I start burping a lot. This has been going on for about 4 to 5 years. Any idea what's going on or what I can do about it?
Your symptoms of gas, bloating, reduced digestive power, feeling uneasy, and difficulty digesting food, which have persisted for 4-5 years, may indicate underlying conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gastroparesis, small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), or enzyme deficiencies, so it's essential to consult a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation, diagnosis, and personalized treatment plan to alleviate your symptoms and improve digestion.

My dad's SGPT levels came back at 125, and I'm really worried about what this means for his health. Is this something serious? Could it indicate liver damage, and if so, how can we go about treating it? I'm really anxious to know more about how we can get this under control.
To address this, it is important to identify and treat the underlying cause. I recommend consulting a doctor for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can consider giving him Ursodeoxycholic acid. Additionally, encourage him to follow a healthy diet, avoid alcohol, and maintain a healthy lifestyle to support liver health.
