I'm really stressed out about my health right now. I've been dealing with hemorrhoids and started taking Himalaya Pilex tablets because I heard they could help. I was taking two tablets, twice a day, but after 14 days, my hemorrhoids got worse instead of better. Plus, I've noticed the nerves in my arms and legs are swollen, I'm hearing noises in my ear, and my TSH levels jumped to 9.2 from normal. I've stopped taking the Pilex tablets, but the swelling and noise in my ear keep getting worse. I'm really worried and looking for advice on how to stop the effects and what I should do next. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Your symptoms may be multifactorial and could involve both a side effect from the Pilex tablets and a potential thyroid issue. Stopping the medication was a good first step, but a thorough evaluation by a doctor is essential to rule out other health concerns and guide you on the next steps for treatment. It's crucial to monitor your thyroid function and address any potential underlying issues.
Please get medical attention as soon as possible.

View allI've been having issues with acidity and I'm trying to figure out what might be causing it. I have milk, honey, chapati bhaji, rice, and idli sambhar regularly. Can you help me figure out if any of these foods could be contributing to my acidity problems and if I should avoid them?
To control acidity, consider avoiding or reducing the following items from your daily diet: none of the listed foods are inherently acidic, but chapati bhaji (if the bhaji is spicy or made with acidic ingredients) and Sambhar (if it contains acidic ingredients like tomatoes or citrus) might exacerbate acidity; however, the primary culprit is likely something not listed; also, consider avoiding or reducing other common acidity triggers like citrus fruits, tomatoes, spicy or fatty foods, caffeine, and carbonated drinks.

I've been having ongoing stomach pain that isn't getting any better even after taking CYCLOPAM. I'm 68 years old and not sure what to do now. Any advice?
I understand your concern. Persistent stomach pain despite taking Cyclopam could indicate a more serious underlying issue such as gastritis, ulcer, or other gastrointestinal problems. It's important to seek medical attention immediately, preferably with a visit to your healthcare provider or an emergency department, to properly diagnose and treat the cause of your discomfort.

My friend has been dealing with gallstones and keeps having bad stomach pain. The doctor recommended surgery, but is that really the only option? Are there other treatments that could help instead of going straight to surgery?
While surgery to remove the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) is a common treatment for gallstones, it's not always the only option. There are several nonsurgical approaches that may be considered, especially if surgery isn't a good fit or if the patient prefers a less invasive approach
