I've been diagnosed with hiatus hernia and gastritis and my doctor prescribed meds but the pain hasn't improved much in the last week. How long does it usually take for the meds to work? Also wondering about the approximate cost for laparoscopic hiatus hernia surgery in Bangalore since I might need it if this doesn't get better

I'm having a real struggle with gas. No matter what I eat, it just keeps forming, and it's got me so frustrated. I went on a diet to try to manage it, but now my blood pressure's tanked, and I'm feeling this intense pain on the left side of my chest. It's making it hard for me to breathe. I'm feeling pretty worried about all of this. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I should do?

To help with your gas problem, you can try taking Omeprazole (brand name Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast to reduce stomach acid production. Simethicone (brand name Gas-X) can also be helpful in relieving gas symptoms. For your low blood pressure, increasing your salt intake and staying hydrated can be beneficial. If you are experiencing chest pain and difficulty breathing, it is important to seek immediate medical attention as these could be symptoms of a heart condition.

I'm a bit concerned about my recent blood test results. My SGOT and SGPT levels are 21.3 and 9.20, which are in the normal range, but the ratio is 2.3. Is this something I should worry about? Everything else in the liver function test looks normal. Could you provide some insight into what this might mean?
