I'm really concerned about this chest heaviness I've been experiencing since recovering from COVID. It mostly hits me in the evenings, and I've also been dealing with some gastric issues. There's no pain or trouble breathing, but my gastroenterologist told me to try breathing exercises and meditation. I've been using Ulgel A for about a month and a half now whenever I feel the heaviness. Could you give me some advice or insights on what's going on?

I've been dealing with bleeding piles for the past 10 days and it hasn't stopped, even though I had laser surgery for piles a year and a half ago. I'm currently taking tranexamic acid tablets but the bleeding continues. What else can I do to stop the bleeding or are there other medications you'd recommend?

Since the bleeding persists despite tranexamic acid and your previous laser surgery, it's crucial to seek professional medical advice

Ive been experiencing this pain that gets worse after eating, and its been going on for three years now. I had an abdominal ultrasound, but nothing unusual came up. Some days I dont feel any pain at all. Over the past three years, I've lost about 12 kg, but I've also started walking more, so maybe that's why. Im now 45 kg and I'm 5 feet 3 inches tall. Should I be worried about this weight loss, or does it seem like it's just from being more active? Any idea what could be causing the pain?

You may be experiencing symptoms of gastritis, which is inflammation of the stomach lining. This can cause pain that worsens after eating. Since nothing was found on the abdominal ultrasound, other possible causes could be considered such as acid reflux or peptic ulcer disease. Some common medicines available for gastritis include Pantocid, Omez, and Rabicip. These medications help reduce stomach acid production and provide relief from symptoms. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

My mom recently had a checkup, and it turns out she has a few gallbladder stones, with the largest being 57 mm. I heard about bile acid therapy and was wondering if that's a good way to deal with the stones without surgery since she doesn't have any pain or symptoms right now. Could you suggest the best doctor or treatment approach for this situation?

Bile acid therapy can be used to dissolve gallstones, particularly in patients who are not experiencing any symptoms. One commonly used medication for this purpose is Ursodiol. It is important to note that the effectiveness of this treatment may vary from person to person, and close monitoring by a healthcare provider is necessary. It is advisable to consult with a Gastroenterologist or a Hepatologist for further evaluation and management of the gallbladder stones. They will be able to assess the specific situation and provide guidance on the most appropriate treatment plan for your mother.
