I'm a bit concerned because I've been taking rabeprazole and domperidone for a couple of months now, but I haven't really noticed a lot of relief. Lately, I've also started feeling this soreness at the back of my throat, like there's some food stuck or something, even though there's no pain or trouble swallowing. Is it possible that this could be related to H. Pylori, and is it known to be difficult to treat? I'm just trying to figure out what's going on.

Based on your WBC (White Blood Cell) count:

Normal WBC range: 4,000-11,000 cellsL Your WBC count: 12,100 cellsL (mildly elevated)

Elevated WBC count possible causes:

  1. Stress: Stress can cause a temporary increase in WBC count.
  2. Infection: Mild infections, like a cold or flu, can also cause elevated WBC.
  3. Inflammation: Yoga and pranayama are great, but intense physical activity can cause temporary inflammation, leading to elevated WBC.

Monitor and adjust:

  1. Repeat WBC test: After a few days to see if the count returns to normal.
  2. Manage stress: Continue yoga and pranayama, and consider additional stress-reducing techniques.
  3. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help your body recover from stress and inflammation.

I can't stop going to the bathroom these past few days. My stomach and lower intestines were killing me last night, but it felt a bit better after having diarrhea. Then this morning, right after waking up, I had to go again. I've already been to the bathroom twice in just three hours of being up. I'm feeling super exhausted, stressed out, and I don't even feel like eating. Could you help me understand what's going on?

I've been taking Claribid 500 for a few days now, but I've started experiencing some upper abdominal pain. It's been about three days, and I'm also finding it hard to breathe properly. Could this be a side effect of the medication? Should I be concerned, or is this something that'll go away on its own?

I'm having this awful pain in my upper abdomen, right chest, and back whenever I breathe or move, and I think it might be due to gastric issues. Do you have any advice or remedies that could help with this?
