I've been dealing with constant pain around my chest ribs and lower stomach for the past 15 days. On top of that, my throat hurts, and swallowing food and liquids is difficult. What could be causing all this? Should I be worried, or is there something I can do about it?

View allI've been experiencing some trouble after meals, like having dosa or just a simple meal. My stomach doesn't seem to digest it well, and my belly becomes really hard and heavy. It's making it difficult for me to focus on work, and I get really restless to the point where I just want to close my eyes and sleep. Sometimes it feels like the gas from my stomach is reaching my head. Ive started taking Liv 52 tablets, but I'm not seeing any improvement. I drink 3 liters of water daily, eat chappati and veggies, and even walk about a kilometer after meals, but the problems still there. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
You're experiencing persistent digestive discomfort, bloating, and fatigue despite a relatively healthy diet and lifestyle, and considering your symptoms, it's possible that you may have underlying issues like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), slow digestion, or gut sensitivity, so consider consulting a gastroenterologist for personalized guidance and potential testing, and in the meantime, you may want to try additional strategies like eating smaller, more frequent meals, incorporating digestive-friendly foods like ginger, yogurt, and fermented vegetables, and stress-reducing techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or yoga to help alleviate your symptoms.

I'm really worried about having stones in my stomach. Can you tell me what could be causing this to happen? And if someone has this issue, are there specific foods they should eat or avoid? I'm also curious if it's okay to eat cucumbers or tomatoes. I'd really appreciate your advice on this.
Stomach stones, also known as gastroliths, typically form due to accumulation of calcium salts, bile, and other substances, often caused by factors like excessive gastric acid, bile reflux, or dietary habits; to manage stomach stones, it's recommended to eat foods that are easy to digest, such as bananas, rice, applesauce, and lean proteins, while avoiding spicy, fatty, or acidic foods like citrus fruits, tomatoes, and cucumbers, which can irritate the stomach and worsen symptoms.

I've just found out that my SGOTSGPT ratio is 2.3, and I read that it should be somewhere between 0.7 and 1.4. I'm really concerned about what this means for my health. Can you tell me what kind of treatment I might need? Are there specific foods I should steer clear of, and should I stop drinking alcohol entirely? How serious is this ratio for my liver? Also, I've got a vitamin D level of 14.21 ngml. Is that something to worry about?
A high SGOTSGPT ratio can indicate liver damage. To help lower your ratio and support your liver health, you can take Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). Additionally, you should avoid fatty and fried foods, processed foods, and excessive sugar intake. It is advisable to limit or avoid alcohol consumption as it can further damage the liver. With a ratio of 2.3, it is concerning and indicates potential liver issues that need to be addressed. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring. Your low vitamin D level of 14.21ngml also needs attention, and you can take Vitamin D3 supplements 1000 IU daily to improve your levels.
