I've been dealing with a really bad headache for a while now, along with dizziness, nausea, and fatigue. I can't stand noise or bright lights, and being in crowds just makes me feel sick and irritated. Lately, I've noticed I'm constipated too. There was a time when passing stools was painful and difficult, but that seemed to have eased up until yesterday when I saw blood in the toilet. I'm not on my period, and I'm really scared because I'm pretty sure I've seen blood in my stool twice now. What's going on? Could you help me understand this?

I've been dealing with acid reflux for the past 18 months and have been taking pantoprazole quite often. I've heard that LINX surgery might be a good solution for this issue. Could you please give me some advice on whether this would be a suitable option for me?

LINX Reflux Management System surgery can be an effective treatment for acid reflux, especially for those who haven't responded well to medications like pantoprazole; however, consult your gastroenterologist to discuss potential benefits and risks, and determine if LINX surgery is suitable for your specific condition, considering factors like severity of symptoms, esophageal function, and overall health.

I'm going through a tough time dealing with GERD for the past three years, and I've been on Razo D daily. Whenever it gets worse, I pop a few Ulgel A. I'm starting to worry if it's okay to keep using them over the long haul. Are Razo D and Ulgel A safe to use like this for a long period?

I've been really constipated and my USG showed gaseous distension in the stomach are there any treatments besides medicines to get rid of the gas? Like, could surgery or something else help? It's pretty urgent and I'm not sure what to do

For gaseous distension and constipation, lifestyle changes like increasing fiber intake, hydration, and regular exercise can help. Surgery is rarely needed unless there’s a structural issue causing the gas retention.
