I'm having a real struggle with gas. No matter what I eat, it just keeps forming, and it's got me so frustrated. I went on a diet to try to manage it, but now my blood pressure's tanked, and I'm feeling this intense pain on the left side of my chest. It's making it hard for me to breathe. I'm feeling pretty worried about all of this. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I should do?

To help with your gas problem, you can try taking Omeprazole (brand name Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast to reduce stomach acid production. Simethicone (brand name Gas-X) can also be helpful in relieving gas symptoms. For your low blood pressure, increasing your salt intake and staying hydrated can be beneficial. If you are experiencing chest pain and difficulty breathing, it is important to seek immediate medical attention as these could be symptoms of a heart condition.

View allI just ate a mango and then realized I accidentally consumed 23 small white worms. I'm a bit worried now. Should I be concerned about any health issues from ingesting them? Is there anything specific I should do or keep an eye out for after this?
Ingesting small white worms while eating a mango is generally not a cause for immediate concern, as these are likely fruit flies or larvae that may be present in the fruit. However, its advisable to monitor for any signs of discomfort, like stomach pain or nausea. If any symptoms develop, it's best to consult a doctor for further advice.

My mom's been dealing with a burning sensation for the past 7-8 months and the doctor thinks it's due to acidity but it hasnt gotten any better. Shes also on meds for diabetes, high blood pressure, and a 14 mm kidney stone. Heres what shes taking: Glycomet 250, Azulix, Clopivas, Rebagem, Panplus D 40, Nikoran 5, Stonex, Laregab AT LS, Olmat, and Nurokind. I'm worried because nothing seems to help with the burning. Could this mix of medications be causing it, or could it be something else? What should we do next?

I had an ultrasound 5 years ago that showed two small gallstones in my gallbladder. Now I've had another ultrasound because I've been having trouble digesting food, and it says my gallbladder is collapsed. I never had surgery to remove it, so why would it show up as collapsed? What does this mean for my digestion issues?
A contracted or collapsed gallbladder, even without a prior surgical removal, can be caused by various factors, including chronic inflammation, gallstones, or the inability of the gallbladder to contract and release bile. While the ultrasound finding might suggest a gallbladder issue, it's essential to correlate it with your digestive symptoms and other diagnostic tests to determine the underlying cause and its impact on your digestion
