I'm experiencing a lot of saliva and after swallowing it, I feel this burning sensation in my stomach like acidity. Its really uncomfortable. What could be causing this and what should I do about it?

Can be a sign of acid reflux. You can try taking Omeprazole (brand name Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast for relief. Additionally, you can use Antacid syrup like Gaviscon 10-20ml after meals and at bedtime as needed for immediate relief from acidity symptoms. Avoid spicy and acidic foods, eat smaller meals, and avoid lying down immediately after eating to help reduce symptoms.

I've been feeling this fluttering sensation in my left mid-stomach area for about a day now, and I'm just wondering if it's something I should be concerned about. Should I make a trip to the doctor, or is this something that might just go away on its own?
Fluttering sensations in the stomach can be unsettling. While it's often not a cause for concern, it's always best to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying conditions. _Possible Causes_ 1. _Digestive issues_: Gas, bloating, or digestive enzyme deficiencies can cause fluttering sensations. 2. _Anxiety or stress_: Stress and anxiety can manifest physically, including stomach sensations. 3. _Hormonal changes_: Hormonal fluctuations during menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause can cause stomach sensations. 4. _Underlying medical conditions_: In rare cases, fluttering sensations can be a symptom of an underlying condition, such as gastroparesis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). _Next Steps_ 1. _Monitor your symptoms_: Keep track of when the fluttering occurs, how long it lasts, and any triggers. 2. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of water to help with digestion and reduce symptoms. 3. _Consult a doctor_: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a gastroenterologist to discuss your symptoms and determine the best course of action.

I've been feeling like I want to throw up and I'm really weak. I ended up taking Metrogyl 400 in the morning and then again at night. Is that the right thing to do?
