I'm experiencing this on-and-off dizziness and it's really concerning me. I also have an acute acidity problem. Do you think the dizziness could be related to my acidity, or could it be an issue with my neck? I'm not sure what's going on and would appreciate your advice.

Lemon and Water for Bloating: Benefits, Side Effects, and Precautions
Drinking lemon and water in the morning is a popular remedy for bloating, but its effectiveness and potential side effects vary from person to person.
Benefits
- Digestive stimulation: Lemon juice may stimulate digestive enzymes and improve gut motility, which can help alleviate bloating.
- Hydration: Drinking water helps maintain proper hydration, which is essential for digestive health and reducing bloating.
Side Effects and Precautions
- Increased gas and bloating: As you've experienced, lemon juice can sometimes exacerbate gas and bloating, especially if you're sensitive to citrus or have underlying digestive issues.
- Acid reflux and heartburn: Lemon juice can irritate the esophagus and worsen acid reflux and heartburn symptoms.
- Tooth erosion: Regular consumption of lemon juice can erode tooth enamel due to its acidity.
Recommendations
- Start with small amounts: If you're new to drinking lemon and water, begin with a small amount (e.g., 14 lemon slice) and gradually increase as needed.
- Dilute the lemon juice: Mix the lemon juice with a larger amount of water (e.g., 1:10 ratio) to reduce its acidity and potential side effects.
- Monitor your body's response: Pay attention to how your body reacts to drinking lemon and water. If you experience persistent discomfort, bloating, or other adverse effects, consider alternative remedies or consult a healthcare professional.
- Consult a healthcare professional: If you have underlying digestive issues, acid reflux, or other health concerns, consult a healthcare professional before starting any new remedies, including lemon and water.

View allI'm really worried because I wasn't diagnosed with malaria, but the doctor prescribed me Lariago and now I'm experiencing side effects like vomiting every time I burp or eat. It's been hard to eat anything for the past four days since I took Lariago. I don't have a fever anymore, but I've tried taking Rekool and Rabium for the nausea and vomiting, but they haven't really worked. Plus, I've been dealing with a lot of acidity. Could you suggest something to help with the vomiting?
You might be Allergic to lariago,stop taking that tablet, visit your doctor for alternate medicine.

I've been having gallstones and swelling in my pancreas, and the pain is really bad it goes from my back all the way to the front of my chest. The hospital doctor recommended surgery, but I'm really worried about it. Is surgery the only option, or are there other treatments I could try first? The pain is so severe, and I'm not sure what to do next.
It's understandable to be worried about surgery, especially with the severe pain you're experiencing. While surgery is often recommended for gallstone pancreatitis, there are other treatment options, including a procedure called Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). ERCP is a procedure where a long, thin tube with a camera is inserted into your mouth and guided through your digestive tract to identify and remove gallstones that may be causing the pancreatitis.
