I've been experiencing this weird sharp pain in my stomach whenever I take a deep breath in, like yawning. It's really concerning me because my stomach is also feeling super bloated and hard. I'm just wondering what could be causing this and if it's something I should be worried about?

Could be a sign of gas or indigestion. I recommend taking an antacid like Tums (calcium carbonate) 500mg tablets to help with the bloating and indigestion. You can take 2 tablets as needed, up to four times a day. Additionally, you can try Simethicone (Gas-X) 125mg chewable tablets to help relieve gas.

View allMy mom ate at a party last night and started throwing up with really bad watery diarrhea afterward. She's also feeling super weak and dizzy. What medicine should we give her and in what dose?
You can give her oral rehydration solution (ORS) to help replace lost fluids and electrolytes. Additionally, you can give her Loperamide at a dose of 2mg to help with the loose motions. If she is still feeling nauseous, you can give her Ondansetron at a dose of 4mg orally, dissolved on the tongue, up to three times a day. However, it is important to monitor her symptoms and if there is no improvement or if she gets worse, please seek medical attention.

I've got 5.3mm gallstones but no major pain, just occasional back discomfort do I really need surgery or are there meds that can dissolve them
Having 5.3mm gallstones and no major pain is common, and in most cases, these gallstones don't require treatment. These are often called "silent stones" because they don't interfere with the gallbladder's function or cause any noticeable symptoms. However, it's important to be aware of potential future issues and to consult with a doctor to discuss your specific situation.

I'm a 45-year-old woman having some trouble with gas and breathlessness. Whenever I get gas, my heart starts racing, I sweat a lot and feel cold, and I just can't breathe right. This can last up to 45 hours, and during this time, I'm stuck and can't move. It's only after I vomit and have to run to the bathroom 23 times that things settle down. But even after all that, my body hurts quite a bit. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?
