I'm feeling a bit uneasy because I've had this discomfort and pain in the upper right side of my chest for the past three days. I visited a gastric specialist and he mentioned it might be due to acidity, so he prescribed Pantocid 40mg and Rifagut. I've been taking them for two days now, but the discomfort hasnt improved. Do you think I should get an X-ray to check what's going on? Any advice would be really helpful.

View allI've been having this abdominal pain in my lower groin area, and it seems to get worse when I feel like I need to pass stool, which has been coming out black. There's also a lot of gas and I feel hungry, but every time I eat, I feel an immediate urge to use the bathroom again. It's been a bit worrying, and Im wondering what could be causing it?
Try to identify and avoid the foods that affect you the most. Foods that cause gas problems . Try cutting back on fried and fatty foods.Often, bloating results from eating fatty foods. Fat delays stomach emptying and can increase the sensation of fullness. Reduce your use of dairy products. Try using low-lactose dairy foods, such as yogurt, instead of milk. Try smaller portions-Many of the foods that can cause gas are part of a healthy diet. So, try eating smaller portions of problem foods to see if your body can handle a smaller portion without creating excess gas. Eat slowly, chew your food thoroughly and don't gulp. Don't smoke Cigarette smoking can increase the amount of air you swallow. Physical activity may help move gas through the digestive tract.

I discovered a blood-red worm in my stool and I'm feeling quite worried about it. I'm currently anemic and taking iron syrup as prescribed, but I'm not on any other medication. Could the worm be related to my anemia or the iron syrup? What steps should I take to address this?
Based on your blood report, here are some observations: _Low White Blood Cell (WBC) Count_ 1. _Leucopenia_: Your total WBC count is low (3.83), which can indicate a weakened immune system. 2. _Neutropenia_: Your neutrophil percentage (34.9%) and absolute count (1.34) are low, which can increase the risk of infections. _Other Observations_ 1. _Lymphocytosis_: Your lymphocyte percentage (56.7%) is elevated, which can indicate a viral or bacterial infection. 2. _Anemia_: Your RBC count (5.57) is high, but your MCV, MCH, and MCHC values indicate microcytic anemia. _Typhoid Possibility_ 1. _Fever and throat symptoms_: Your recent fever and persistent throat mucus could be indicative of a bacterial infection like typhoid. 2. _Blood report_: While your blood report doesn't conclusively diagnose typhoid, the low WBC count, neutropenia, and lymphocytosis could be consistent with a typhoid infection.
