I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with my recent diagnosis from Apollo Hospital. They found 5 ulcers in my digestive tract and said I have IBD, specifically Crohn's disease, along with cough variant asthma. They did a colonoscopy, abdomen CT scan, fecal test, and a bunch of blood tests. Now I'm on medication for IBD and Crohns, and theyve given me an inhaler for the cough. Im a bit worriedshould I expect any side effects from the meds, and how can I manage these conditions effectively on a daily basis? Any advice on diet or lifestyle adjustments would be really helpful.

The diagnosis of Crohn's disease, a type of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), and cough variant asthma is based on comprehensive testing, and the prescribed medications, likely including aminosalicylates, immunomodulators, or biologics for Crohn's, and bronchodilators or corticosteroids for asthma, aim to manage symptoms, induce remission, and prevent complications.

View allI've been having this pain that starts in my right waist and goes through to my abdomen. It starts off in the evening and keeps getting worse as the night goes on, becoming really severe until I take some medicine like Nicip P to help. I'm not sure which specialist I should reach out to for this. Any ideas?

I've been experiencing this weird sharp pain in my stomach whenever I take a deep breath in, like yawning. It's really concerning me because my stomach is also feeling super bloated and hard. I'm just wondering what could be causing this and if it's something I should be worried about?
Could be a sign of gas or indigestion. I recommend taking an antacid like Tums (calcium carbonate) 500mg tablets to help with the bloating and indigestion. You can take 2 tablets as needed, up to four times a day. Additionally, you can try Simethicone (Gas-X) 125mg chewable tablets to help relieve gas.

I've been dealing with this issue for a couple of days now. I saw a doctor who prescribed me Devon and Benalgis, one each daily, but I'm still having the same problem. Plus, my blood pressure was pretty low at that time, like 8070. The burning sensation comes and goes, it's not constant throughout the day. Any ideas on what else might be going on or what I should do next?
