I've been experiencing something weird whenever I lie down on my left side. It's a pulsating sensation just under my left rib, and it seems to come and go. There's no pain, but it's definitely noticeable. Any idea what might be causing this sensation?

I've been on amoxicillin for a bacterial infection and I'm about four days into taking 2 tablets of 625mg each per day. I've started noticing that my stool looks black and tar-like. Is this a normal side effect from the meds or should I be worried about something more serious?

Passing black, tar-like stool can be a concerning side effect known as melena, which may indicate gastrointestinal bleeding. It is important to consult your healthcare provider immediately. In the meantime, you can consider taking a probiotic supplement to help maintain the balance of good bacteria in your gut.
