I'm experiencing loose motions and joint pain, and my tongue feels tasteless. I'm also feeling drowsy and really tired. Plus, my stomach has this crampy feeling. What could be causing all of this and what should I do about it?

The discoloration and swelling on your arm after a blood test are likely due to a hematoma (blood accumulation under the skin) or bruising. This is a common and temporary reaction, but if you experience:

Increasing pain or swelling

Redness or warmth around the area

Difficulty moving your arm

Seek medical attention to rule out any serious complications.

I've been experiencing some unusual bloating in my stomach, especially around and above my belly button. Even a small amount of food makes me feel super full, which is strange because I've never had this problem before. I did have constipation a few months back, but it's not an issue now. I've noticed that my weight has slightly fluctuated toolike I'll gain a little after eating, but then lose it after going to the bathroom. The main thing is, my stomach just feels and looks really bloated. Any ideas on what might be going on?

I'm really curious about the medications my doctor prescribed for my tiny duodenal polyp. I've been given Nordys 400, Rifaximin, and Menoctyl Tabotilonium Bromide. Can you explain more about how these work and what I should expect during the treatment?

Yes you can take it

I'm dealing with some stomach bloating after recovering from a stomach infection, and I'm feeling a bit concerned. Whenever I walk, especially in the evening, I notice this heaviness or mild difficulty in breathing. Plus, there's pressure and bloating in my upper abdomen. My oxygen levels seem fine while walking, ranging between 98 and 99, but I'm wondering if the breathing heaviness is related to the bloating. Could you shed some light on what's happening?

take tablet pantop once daily for 5 days, it will reduce bloating
