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 on these PPI meds for over a year now - dexlansoprazole 60mg daily, esomeprazole 40mg daily, and levosulpiride 75mg daily - but I'm still dealing with acid reflux, esophagitis, and gastritis. What are the long-term side effects of staying on PPIs this long? Is it safe to keep taking them beyond a year? Are there any surgical options that could help cure this instead? I can share my endoscopy report if needed.
Long-term PPI use is generally safe but may cause low magnesium, B12 deficiency, and gut flora changes. Surgery (like Nissen) may help if you're not responding. Share endoscopy for detailed advice.

I have an external hemorrhoid that doesn't hurt much but I can feel it near my anus. What's the best way to get rid of it permanently without surgery?
To address an external hemorrhoid without surgery, focus on lifestyle changes and over-the-counter treatments. Increase fiber intake, drink plenty of water, and avoid straining during bowel movements.

I've been having this issue for about six months now where every time I eat, I start to gag and it kinda feels like I'm gonna vomit. It seems to get worse the more I eat. I tried taking pantoprazole, but it hasn't really helped. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I should try?
There could be multiple reasons for your problem. How healthy are you. Increased weitgh an be one of the causes. Also Change the type of food you eat. Take light and non spicy food for now. Your gagging sensation comes from throat or stomach? Take 1 tab Rabekind DSR daily empty stomach. Tab Emset 4 mg 1 tab daily 2 times a day, Tab Herbolax (Himalaya) 1 tab daily once a day. Continue these for 1 week and inform me. Do mild exercise daily and avoid going to bed immediately after meals. Next Steps if problem persists consult an ENT
