I've been dealing with this annoying acidity every morning for the last few days. It's like I wake up and feel this urge to vomit, and sometimes there's a lot of gas too. Lately, it even feels like there's acid being released or something. Could you tell me what might be going on and what I should do?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux. I recommend taking Omeprazole (brand name Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take Simethicone (brand name Gas-X) 125mg after meals to help with gas. Make sure to avoid spicy and acidic foods, as well as eating at least 2-3 hours before bedtime to help alleviate your symptoms.

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with loose motion for the past couple of days. I took Metroquin this morning and again tonight, but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. Is there anything else I should try, or do I need to wait longer for it to work? Also, is there something specific in my diet that I should be avoiding or eating to help with this?

Metroquin is a combination of Metronidazole and Diloxanide. Since the issue persists, I recommend adding a probiotic to help restore the balance of good bacteria in your gut. You can try taking Enterogermina capsule once a day for 3-5 days. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids and consider a light diet.

I had some vomiting last night, and my heart started racing all of a sudden. I'm also feeling like there's a lot of gas in my stomach. Can you help me understand what's going on?

Given your symptoms of vomiting, increased heart rate, and stomach gas, it's possible you're experiencing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acid reflux, stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, avoid solid foods for now, opt for bland liquids like coconut water or clear broth, and consider taking an antacid or acid reducer like ranitidine or omeprazole;

I've been having loose motions since last night and I'm not sure what kind of medicine I should take. I've already been drinking lemon water regularly. Could you help me figure out what else might help?

You can take Redotil 100mg (rececadotril). Make sure to stay hydrated by continuing to drink plenty of fluids like lemon water.
