Question 1

I'm feeling pretty worried because for the past 10 days, no matter how little I eat, I always feel like my stomach is super full, and I'm dealing with shortness of breath and a lot of burping. It gets even worse when I'm trying to sleep. I saw a gastroenterologist and started taking some meds like pantodac DSR, RCIFAX 550, and GAVISCON syrup for the last 3 days, and I'm feeling a little better. But, recently, I've been noticing my chest feels tight and heavy, and sometimes breathing gets tough. I dont have many other symptoms, just a really rare dry cough, maybe 3-4 times a day. Should I be worried about the coronavirus, or is this something more normal? Looking for some guidance here.

Question 2

I've been feeling heartburn since yesterday, and it's really bad when I try to sleepduring the day it's there but not as intense. Can you suggest some home remedies that might help?

Accepted Answer

Hello! It sounds like you are experiencing heartburn that worsens when lying down. For relief, you can try the following home remedies: - Avoiding trigger foods such as spicy, fatty, or acidic foods - Eating smaller, more frequent meals - Avoiding lying down right after eating - Elevating your head while sleeping - Drinking ginger tea or chamomile tea - Taking over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids as needed - Trying over-the-counter H2 blockers like Pepcid AC or Zantac - Using over-the-counter proton pump inhibitors like Prilosec OTC or Nexium 24HR for persistent symptoms - If symptoms persist, it's important to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Question 3

I'm concerned about my health because my bilirubin level has reached 6.2, and despite having a normal MRI of my abdomen, my bilirubin keeps rising. Can you help me understand why this might be happening? I have my blood test report if you need any specific details from it.

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can take Dolo 650 (paracetamol) and Cetirizine together.

No known significant interactions between the two.

However, always follow dosage instructions and consult a doctor if:

- You have pre-existing medical conditions
- Taking other medications
- Exceeding recommended doses

I'm looking at my report and it mentions a fatty liver. Can you explain what that means? Should I be concerned about it?
