I'm dealing with some really intense stomach pain that's been going on for about a month now. It hurts a lot when I feel hungry and especially when I need to go to the loo. Even if I eat just a little, my stomach feels really full. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?

View allI'm a bit confused about how to take Liv 52 tablets. Should I be having them before eating or after meals? Just want to make sure I'm doing it right.
The recommended dosage of Liv 52 is 2-3 tablets, 2-3 times a day, and it's best taken after food to minimize potential stomach upset

I'm dealing with drooling for the past few months and I've heard it might be from worms in the stomach. I've had worm issues before, so I'm concerned this might be related. How can I put an end to this problem once and for all? Also, I've noticed a big gain in weight over the past couple of years. Could these be connected? What should I do?
Drooling may be related to various causes, and its important to get an accurate diagnosis from a healthcare provider. Worm infestations are treatable with medications, but they are unlikely to be the direct cause of drooling. For weight gain, a combination of dietary changes, physical activity, and medical consultation is necessary to manage the condition effectively.

I'm really concerned about my health lately. I've been experiencing stomach pain for the past two days and it's been getting worse whenever I pass gas. The pain seems to be focused on the left side. Along with that, I've noticed that I'm going to the bathroom to urinate way more frequently, like every 20 minutes, and I end up going about four times in that period. I'm not sure what's going on and it's starting to worry me. Could you help me understand what might be happening?
Based on your lab results, it appears that you have: 1. _Subclinical hypothyroidism_: Elevated TSH levels (>4.5 UmL) with normal T3 and T4 levels. 2. _Possible Eltroxin (T4) dosage adjustment needed_: Your current dosage might not be sufficient to maintain optimal TSH levels. _Treatment:_ 1. _Dosage adjustment_: Your doctor may increase your Eltroxin dosage to achieve optimal TSH levels (typically between 0.5-4.5 UmL). 2. _TSH monitoring_: Regular blood tests (every 6-8 weeks) to monitor TSH levels and adjust your dosage accordingly. 3. _Consider adding T3 (liothyronine)_: If your TSH levels remain elevated despite T4 dosage adjustments, your doctor might consider adding T3 to your treatment regimen. _Important:_ 1. _Do not adjust your dosage without consulting your doctor_. 2. _Continue taking your current dosage until your doctor advises otherwise_. 3. _Schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor to discuss your lab results and treatment plan_.
