I've been dealing with this navel displacement issue for the past four years, and it's really impacting my digestion and causing constipation. I constantly feel bloated, like there's air trapped in my abdomen. I've tried acupuncture and am currently taking pantocid and other gastric meds, but nothing seems to fully work. Is there any effective treatment out there that I haven't tried yet?

It sounds like you're dealing with a persistent issue, and while treatments like acupuncture and pantocid can help manage symptoms, addressing the root cause of navel displacement might require a more targeted approach, like physical therapy or consulting a specialist in abdominal health. Its important to find a treatment plan that works specifically for your condition, so it may be worth revisiting a gastroenterologist or exploring other holistic options.

I've been getting these muscle pains that feel just like a heart attack, but every time, it's diagnosed as acidity. This has been happening for six years now. And in the last two years, I've started having panic attacks that again feel like I'm having a heart attack. I've done stress tests and an echo test, and fortunately, they turned out fine. I've also had gastroscopy done twice. What could be causing these symptoms? Could it just be stress or something else? I'm really looking for some guidance on what steps to take next.

It sounds like you may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain that is mimicking heart attack symptoms, along with acidity symptoms and panic attacks. Since your stress test, echo test, and gastroscopy have all come back normal, it is reassuring that there are no major cardiac or gastrointestinal issues. For the muscle pains, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Additionally, you may benefit from muscle relaxants such as Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) to help with the muscle pain. For acidity symptoms, you can try antacids such as Tums or Rolaids to help with heartburn and indigestion. For panic attacks, you may benefit from anti-anxiety medications such as Xanax (alprazolam) or Ativan (lorazepam) as needed to help manage the symptoms. It is also important to practice stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, and regular exercise to help manage both the muscle pains and panic attacks. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my dad. We've been feeding him using a Ryles tube, but since yesterday, he's been getting these really strong hiccups not long after we feed him. Is this something we should be worried about or is it normal? What can we do to help him?

My mom accidentally swallowed a small plastic stick that was on a cake. She drank some water, and it seems to have gone down her throat just fine. She's acting normal now, but I'm still a bit worried. What should we do next? Should we just wait and see, or is it better to get it checked out?

Visit Gastro enterologist and get an xray done and follow his advice
