I've been experiencing some discomfort and I'm really seeking some advice. After eating, my stomach feels bloated and no matter what I do, it doesn't seem to go away. I've consulted an Ayurveda doctor before and they mentioned I have high pitta and vata, but I'm still dealing with these issues. It feels like even after I go to the toilet, it's incomplete and I'm often back there soon after. My intestine area just doesn't feel right. I've also been sweating a lot, feeling tired and struggling with low concentration. My face seems much darker than the rest of my body and my skin is really dry and wrinkled. I'm just trying to figure out what's going on with my body and how I can find some relief. What could be causing all of this?

I've been having this pain under my left rib that keeps coming and going, and it's been like this for a few days now. It actually just got worse today. Any idea what might be causing it? It's starting to worry me a bit.

Aching under the rib on the left side, with pain coming and going since the last few days could be due to various reasons such as muscle strain, gastritis, or even a possible issue with the spleen. However, since the pain has aggravated today, it is important to rule out any serious conditions such as pancreatitis or a kidney infection. I recommend taking a mild pain reliever like acetaminophen (Tylenol) for the pain, and also consider taking an antacid like omeprazole (Prilosec) if you suspect it could be related to gastritis. It is important to rest, avoid heavy meals, and stay hydrated. If the pain persists or worsens, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.
