I've been dealing with antral gastritis and duodenitis for about 8 months now, and sometimes I get this weird sensation like my heart is skipping a beat. Is that something I should be worried about, or is it normal with these conditions?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Antral gastritis and duodenitis can cause discomfort and stress, which can, in turn, lead to sensations of skipped heartbeats or palpitations. This is because the vagus nerve, which runs from the brain to the abdomen, can be irritated, causing changes in heart rhythm. While these sensations can be alarming, they are often benign. However, it's important to rule out any cardiac issues, especially if the sensations are persistent or accompanied by other symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath. Consult with your healthcare provider to ensure proper management of your gastrointestinal condition and to discuss your heart rhythm concerns.

View allI'm really concerned because my sgpt, sgot, and ggt numbers are pretty high and above normal levels. Plus, I noticed my leukocyte count is also elevated. Can you help me understand what this might mean?
Having elevated SGPT, SGOT, and GGT levels along with increased leukocyte count can indicate liver and inflammatory issues. To address this, you can consider taking medications like Ursodeoxycholic acid to support liver function and reduce liver enzyme levels. Additionally, Ibuprofen can help with inflammation and leukocyte count. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Can I dissolve gallbladder stones with medication or do I need surgery to just remove the stones without taking out the whole gallbladder
While medications can sometimes help dissolve small, cholesterol-based gallstones, they are not a primary treatment and often require long-term use. Surgery, specifically laparoscopic cholecystectomy (removal of the gallbladder), is usually the preferred treatment for symptomatic gallstones, as it's effective and the gallbladder is not essential for life. Removing the gallbladder is a common and safe procedure, and you can live without it

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been taking Deriphyllin R 300 for her condition, but now she's having some issues with her stomach. I'm wondering if switching her to Deriphyllin OD 300 might help. Could that make a difference, or should I be concerned about any side effects?
Yes.
