I'm having some issues after taking this ayurvedic weight gain powder for a few months. I don't feel hungry, sometimes there's vomiting, and even food smells weird to me now. My blood tests show high SGOT and SGPT levels, and I'm tired all the time. I'm really worried about what's going on. What steps should I take to feel better?

View allI've been having these recurring stomach aches every time I try to go to the toilet, but nothing actually happens, just pain on that side. It's really frustrating because it doesn't seem to improve. Should I be worried about this, or is it something that might just clear up on its own? I've been trying to figure out what could be causing it. Any insights?

I've had a fever for a couple of days and some stomach pain. I was eating normal khichdi and rice, and I drank milk with turmeric twice. For the fever, I took Dolo 650. Earlier, I was having loud farts almost every hour, but last night, instead of that, I started having watery diarrhea, and there was no solid stool. It was happening every five minutes. What do you think could be going on? Should I change something in what I'm eating or take any other medicines?

I've been feeling a bit uneasy ever since this incident a few months back when I was eating crunchy peanut butter and it got stuck in my food pipe. I experienced chest pain for about a week after that. Though it's been three months now, I'm still feeling kind of uneasy. I sometimes notice a vibration on the lower left side of my chest and have been dealing with this back pain for a couple of weeks. Is this something I should be worried about, or could it be related to acidity? Would really appreciate any advice you might have.
Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
