I've been feeling this discomfort in my left arm, it's not really numbness or sharp pain, but noticeable, especially when I'm trying to lay down and sleep. Plus, I've noticed that sometimes my heartbeat feels irregular for a few seconds. No sleeping position seems to help, and I just can't get comfortable, so I'm having a really hard time sleeping. Even after walking for over 2 hours, I still feel lazy and tired all day. It's even hard to poop. I'm getting pretty worried since I'm stuck with this and can't see a doctor because of the lockdown. Could this be something serious?

Egg-cellent question!

Can Boiled Eggs Cause Gas?

  1. Yes, boiled eggs can cause gas: Eggs are a common gas-producing food, especially for some individuals.
  2. Protein and sulfur compounds: Egg whites contain protein and sulfur compounds, which can be difficult for some people to digest, leading to gas and bloating.

Why Liquid Egg White Might Be a Better Option

  1. Easier to digest: Liquid egg whites might be easier to digest than boiled egg whites, as the protein structure is broken down.
  2. Less gas production: Liquid egg whites may produce less gas, as the digestive system can absorb the nutrients more efficiently.

Solutions to Reduce Gas from Boiled Egg Whites

  1. Try digestive enzymes: Supplementing with digestive enzymes like papain or bromelain can help break down protein and reduce gas.
  2. Experiment with cooking methods: Try cooking egg whites differently, like poaching or scrambling, to see if it reduces gas production.
  3. Reduce portion size: If you're consuming 5-6 boiled egg whites daily, try reducing the portion size to see if it alleviates gas symptoms.

Consult a Healthcare Professional

If you experience persistent or severe gas and bloating, consult a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian for personalized guidance.

I'm a bit worried because I've been diabetic for 35 years and have managed it pretty well until now, but recently, I've started experiencing this sinking feeling and episodes of fainting and dizziness. I got an ECG done and it shows some blockage. Could this be related to my diabetes, and what should I do next?

Given your 35-year history of well-managed diabetes, the recent symptoms of sinking feeling, fainting, and dizziness, along with ECG indications of blockage, suggest a potential cardiovascular issue, such as coronary artery disease or cardiac autonomic neuropathy, so consult a cardiologist to discuss further testing, like angiography or stress tests, and develop a plan to address the blockage and manage cardiovascular risk factors.
