I'm noticing that I've been producing a lot more saliva recently, and I'm not sure why this is happening. I also tend to drink a lot of water throughout the day. Could these be related, or should I be concerned about something else going on with my health?

Excessive saliva production, also known as hypersalivation or sialorrhea, can be caused by various factors, including drinking excessive water, which can stimulate saliva production; other possible reasons include gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), oral infections, hormonal changes, anxiety, or certain medications; consider consulting a dentist or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist to rule out any underlying conditions and discuss ways to manage excessive saliva production.

View allI'm a teenager and I've developed piles. Should I be worried about having them at this age? Do you think I need to see a doctor or are there any home remedies that might help me get better?
Having piles (hemorrhoids) as a teenager is uncommon, but not unheard of, and it's essential to consult a doctor to rule out underlying conditions like constipation, diarrhea, or inflammatory bowel disease, and in the meantime, try home remedies like increasing fiber intake, drinking plenty of water, exercising regularly, and applying warm compresses or witch hazel to the affected area to alleviate symptoms.

I've been dealing with this issue where whenever I eat, it feels like the food gets stuck between my chest and upper stomach, even though I don't have any acidity or pain. My pulmonologist had me on some meds like rablet d and ab flo, and while they helped a bit, they didn't really fix the problem. My chest X-ray came back normal, so that's good, but I'm pretty confused about what's going on. Just spoke to a friend who's a cardiologist and he thinks it's something to do with motility and stomach stuff, so he recommended a course of ganaton total for five days. I started that today, but I'm still feeling like I need to take a deep breath every few minutes. I've also been taking steam at night. Do you think this new medication will help clear up whatever's going on? I'm a bit anxious about what's causing this and would love some advice.
It sounds like your symptoms might be related to gastric motility or reflux issues, and Ganaton Total could help by improving stomach movement and relieving any discomfort from food getting "stuck." Since you're not experiencing pain and your chest report is clear, it's good that you're already doing yoga and walking. If the discomfort persists or worsens, further investigation into motility or digestive issues might be needed.

I'm really worried about my husband. He's 30 years old, with a height of 5.4 ft and weighs 64 kg. We stay in Germany, and he's been having a rough time with his health lately, especially with frequent gastric issues. His cholesterol levels have been all over the place. The first test showed a triglycerides level of 701, and even though it went down to 516 on the second test after three months, it's still pretty high, right? His HDL is at 21 and LDL at 46, with a Lipase of 46 UI and TSH at 1.22 microUml. Are these numbers something we should be concerned about? What could be causing these gastric problems? We really need some guidance on what steps to take next.
Based on the information provided, your husband's high triglyceride levels and low HDL cholesterol levels may be contributing to his gastric issues. To help manage his triglyceride levels, he can take Atorvastatin 20mg once daily. Additionally, to improve his HDL levels, he can take Niacin 500mg once daily. For his gastric issues, he can take Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast. It is also important for him to follow a healthy diet low in saturated fats and sugars, and to engage in regular physical activity to improve his overall lipid profile and gastric health.
