I'm experiencing this burning sensation in my upper abdomen, mostly on the right side, and it's been getting pretty intense. I also feel some shortage of breath. The pain usually lasts for about 20 to 30 minutes, and it tends to calm down after I drink a lot of water and burp, but the burning feeling lingers for a bit. This has happened 2-3 times over the last few days, and I'm a bit concerned. I have a one-month-old baby who is entirely breastfed could this be a digestive issue? I'm considering trying Ayurvedic remedies, do you think that might be a good idea?

Your symptoms appear to be that of gastroenteritis. You would require an antacid to get relief from the symptoms. Avoid spicy, oily, fried, deep fried and junk food. Aim to drink 3 litres of water per day. Limit coffee, tea and carbonated drinks to just once a day

I noticed this morning that there was pure red blood in my stool, but I didn't experience any pain. I'm really concerned about what this might mean. Is it something serious that I should be worried about?

Seeing bright red blood in your stool without pain could indicate conditions like hemorrhoids, an anal fissure, or less commonly, a more serious issue like a rectal polyp. While it may not always be serious, its important to consult a doctor to identify the cause and rule out anything significant.

I've had this stomach issue for 7 months where it feels like there's a constant knot in my upper stomach and throat. Did an endoscopy 5 months ago showing small hiatus hernia and some erosions. Tried multiple meds like rabeprazole, levosulpride, montilucast for months with no relief. One doctor now suggests surgery but I'm unsure. What could be causing this persistent discomfort and is surgery really needed?

upper GI endoscopy,urea breath test and USG is advised.RW with the report.

I'm 27 and just had a test today because my stomach hasn't been feeling right. I've been having a hard time with it and it feels kind of like dysentery. What could be going on with my stomach?

At 27, experiencing persistent stomach issues and a dysentery-like feeling can be concerning. Its likely an infection or irritation in the gut. Stay hydrated, avoid heavy foods, and consult for a stool test or antibiotics if symptoms worsen. Take care!
