Question 1

I haven't been able to pass stool for four days and it's getting really painful. Yesterday, I realized it's become too hard and won't pass through my rectum. I tried using a suppository but it didn't help, then I had some cremafin syrup and now only a tiny, hard stool comes out with a lot of pain and water. It's unbearable and I'm really struggling. I've never dealt with anything like this before. I'm considering going to the hospital for an enema but I'm also on my period, so I'm kind of worried about that too. Could you give me some advice on what I should do?

Accepted Answer

Given your severe constipation, painful bowel movements, and failure of suppositories and Cremafin syrup, consider visiting the hospital for further treatment, despite being on your period, as the medical staff can take necessary precautions; enema or other medical interventions like manual removal of stool or prescription medications may be necessary to relieve your symptoms; meanwhile, stay hydrated, apply warm compresses to your abdomen, and avoid straining during bowel movements to minimize discomfort.

Question 2

I've been diagnosed with acalculous cholecystitis my gallbladder is contracted and the wall thickness is increased. Are there any Ayurvedic treatments that can help without needing surgery?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Ayurveda offers treatments for acalculous cholecystitis, focusing on relieving inflammation, reducing pain, and improving gallbladder function without surgery. These approaches often involve herbal remedies, dietary changes, and lifestyle modifications

Question 3

I've been dealing with chest pains for the past year and just recently, theyve gotten really intense. I've had all sorts of tests done  ECG, echo, TMT, chest X-ray, and blood work like hscrp and cholesterol  and everything comes back normal or borderline. Heres the thing, when I take gas tablets, I feel a lot better, but I can't shake off this anxious feeling, and I keep thinking negatively. Ive seen about ten cardiologists, and they all say my heart is fine, but the anxiety just wont go away. Is this heart pain or something like GERD? My heart races when I hear bad news, and it's making me uneasy even though there's no family history of heart issues. I'm 29. The pain sometimes hits my rib side, other times its in the upper chest, and it's sharp. Bloating seems to make it feel easier, and when I overthink, my breathing feels weird but it settles down in about 45 minutes. What could be causing all this?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety along with your chest pain. The fact that your cardiac tests have come back normal is reassuring. To address your symptoms, you can try taking an antacid medication for your possible GERD symptoms and an anti-anxiety medication for your anxiety symptoms. For your chest pain relief, you can take over-the-counter antacids like Tums (calcium carbonate) as needed for gas relief. For your anxiety symptoms, you can try an anti-anxiety medication like Xanax (alprazolam) at a low dose as prescribed by a doctor. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga may also help alleviate your symptoms.

Probable diagnosis is Gerd, patient is advised pan d ,orally.once daily for 14 days before food..Avoid spicy foods.
