I'm really struggling with a severe gastric issue, and it feels like it's making it hard to breathe, especially after I eat and when I'm about to sleep. It seems like there's this pressure in the center of my chest. What could be happening, and how should I address this?

View allI don't know what's going on, but every morning I wake up feeling like I'm going to puke. No matter what I try to eat or drink, even if it's just milk, I end up throwing up. It's really tough because I can't stand any food smells early in the day. Do you have any ideas on how I can stop this from happening?
It sounds like you may be dealing with morning sickness or a digestive issue. Try having small sips of water or ginger tea in the morning before any food, and avoid strong smells. If this continues, its best to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying conditions.

I'm really struggling with my motions. For the past month, I've needed to go at least three times a day, and it's becoming quite an issue. Since I've been going to the gym for about a year and a half, I had to up my food intake, and it seems like that's when the motion problems started. I also have a gastric problem, and even though my digestion seems fine, I just constantly feel like I need to go. It's been tough to eat because of this sensation. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I might need to change to feel better?

I'm Ajay Sharma from Gurgaon. For the last 15 days, I've been noticing black stools, but there's no abdominal pain. I'm a bit concerned about it. Could you please share what might be going on?
Black stool can be caused by various factors, including bleeding in the upper GI tract, iron supplements, or certain foods; given your symptom of black stool for 15 days without abdominal pain, it's essential to consult a gastroenterologist to rule out underlying conditions like ulcers, gastritis, or gastrointestinal bleeding;
