I've been dealing with this pressure in my head for quite a while now, and it usually flares up a couple of hours after I eat, especially in the afternoon. I notice my stomach bloats during these times, and it feels somewhat better once I pass gas or have a bowel movement, but that head pressure is really what's bothering me. It's mostly on the right side of my head, although sometimes I feel it on the left too. Ive seen a bunch of doctors, like psychiatry and Gastro Endocrinologist specialists, but I dont have any issues with my stomach or stools. I just can't figure out what's causing this, and it's really stressing me out. Do you have any thoughts on what it could be or what I should do next?

Based on your symptoms, it sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of migraine headaches triggered by food intake and associated with gastrointestinal symptoms. I recommend trying a combination medication like Sumatriptan and Naproxen (brand name Suminat-NT) for relief of your migraine symptoms. The usual dosage is one tablet at the onset of symptoms, followed by another tablet if needed after 2 hours, not exceeding two tablets in 24 hours. Additionally, you may benefit from taking Simethicone (brand name Colicaid) to help with the bloating and gas symptoms. The usual dosage is 40mg to 180mg taken orally after meals and at bedtime as needed. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication regimen.

View allI'm feeling a bit worried because last night, out of nowhere, I felt this weird vibration on the right side of my abdomen and it lasted for around 10 minutes. I also have this tingling sensation below my right rib cage, but it's not near the liver area. An ultrasound came back normal, so I'm confused about what's going on. I didn't feel any severe pain, but it was strange having my entire right side abs vibrating like something's moving inside. Could it have anything to do with the Zifi CV 200 and Zerodol sp I took for my sore throat before bed? Any insight would be appreciated.
since Ultrasonography is normal nothing much to worry. Have a gastritis tablet like pantop 30 min before food for 3 days

I'm having trouble sometimes with taking deep breaths. It's easier when I yawn, but other times it's really tough. My pulmonary function test came back normal, and my oxygen levels are good too. But I've also noticed that whenever I eat, there's this smell and sound from my mouth, reminding me of acidity or gastric issues. Could these be related, and what should I do about it?
Probable diagnosis is GERD .Patient is advised tab pan d ,orally for 14 days and syrup sucralfate 10 ml thrice daily for 7 days .

I'm having trouble with regular bowel movements. It's only happening about once a week. I'd love some advice on how to have them more regularly in the mornings. Also, I'm dealing with some pain on the right side of my stomach. Could you suggest what might be going on and how to address it?
Moving to a new country can be challenging, especially when managing a medical condition like ADHD. In India, you'll find several medications available for ADHD treatment. *Commonly prescribed medications* include: - __Methylphenidate__ (MPH): Available in immediate-release (IR), extended-release (ER), and long-acting (LA) formulations. - __Atomoxetine__ (ATX): A non-stimulant medication. - __Lisdexamfetamine__ (LDX): A stimulant medication, although its availability might be limited in India. - __Clonidine__: Sometimes prescribed off-label for ADHD treatment. To find a doctor in Kanchipuram, you can: 1. *Ask for referrals*: Reach out to friends, family, or colleagues who live in Kanchipuram for recommendations. 2. *Online directories*: Utilize online directories like Practo or Lybrate to find psychiatrists or neurologists in Kanchipuram. 3. *Contact your embassy*: Reach out to the U.S. Embassy in India for guidance on finding medical care in Kanchipuram. Regarding the cost of medication and appointments, it's difficult to provide an exact estimate without knowing the specific doctor or hospital you'll be visiting. However, you can expect the cost of ADHD medications in India to be lower compared to the U.S. Before your move, consider: 1. *Carrying a sufficient supply*: Bring a sufficient supply of your current medication, Vyvanse, to last you a few months. 2. *Obtaining a prescription*: Get a prescription from your current doctor that you can use in India. 3. *Researching Indian pharmacies*: Look into pharmacies in Kanchipuram that can provide you with the necessary medication.
