I've been dealing with this recurring pain on the left side of my upper stomach. I'm 33 and have already done an ultrasound and a CT scan but nothing major showed up. About a year and a half ago, an endoscopy indicated esophagus grade A. I've been on medication since, but the pain still persists and sometimes moves to my back. Plus, I occasionally face gastric issues. It's really frustrating, and there's also this burning sensation and itching during bowel movements. Does anyone have any idea what's going on or what I should do next?

I'm wondering if it's safe to take Normaxin RT for acid reflux after I've had papaya or other fruits in the morning. Here's what I did today: I had giloy juice, then Chyawanprash, then papaya, and finally took Normaxin RT, all with about a half-hour gap in between. Is this okay to do? Would love some guidance.

Steps *General Guidance* 1. *Err on the side of caution*: Even if symptoms seem mild, head injuries can be unpredictable. 2. *Seek medical attention*: Visit a doctor or emergency room to rule out internal injuries. *Red Flags to Watch For* 1. *Worsening headache*: If headache severity increases or persists. 2. *Vomiting*: Especially if vomit contains blood or coffee ground-like material. 3. *Confusion or disorientation*: If you experience dizziness, confusion, or difficulty concentrating. 4. *Vision changes*: Blurred vision, double vision, or sensitivity to light. 5. *Weakness or numbness*: In the face, arm, or leg. *Recommended Next Steps* 1. *Visit a doctor*: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or visit an urgent care center. 2. *Describe symptoms*: Share your experience, including the injury, symptoms, and any concerns. 3. *Get a proper evaluation*: The doctor may perform a physical examination, take a medical history, and potentially order imaging tests (e.g., CT or MRI scans).

I recently recovered from jaundice, and my bilirubin levels were as high as 15. I'm feeling better now, but I'm curious about when it would be safe for me to get back to the gym. Also, is it okay to start taking my protein shakes and other dietary supplements again?

After recovering from jaundice with a bilirubin level of 15, it is important to give your body enough time to fully recover before resuming intense physical activity and taking dietary supplements. It is recommended to wait at least 4-6 weeks after your bilirubin levels have returned to normal before gradually reintroducing exercise. When you do start exercising again, start slowly and listen to your body. As for protein shakes and dietary supplements, it is best to consult with a nutritionist or dietitian to determine the right timing and dosage based on your individual needs. It is important to focus on a balanced diet with whole foods to support your recovery and overall health.
