I've been feeling heartburn since yesterday, and it's really bad when I try to sleepduring the day it's there but not as intense. Can you suggest some home remedies that might help?

Hello! It sounds like you are experiencing heartburn that worsens when lying down. For relief, you can try the following home remedies: - Avoiding trigger foods such as spicy, fatty, or acidic foods - Eating smaller, more frequent meals - Avoiding lying down right after eating - Elevating your head while sleeping - Drinking ginger tea or chamomile tea - Taking over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids as needed - Trying over-the-counter H2 blockers like Pepcid AC or Zantac - Using over-the-counter proton pump inhibitors like Prilosec OTC or Nexium 24HR for persistent symptoms - If symptoms persist, it's important to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I just took Redotil for my diarrhea, but it didn't seem to work because I still had a stool about 15 minutes after. I'm a bit worried and unsure about what to do next. I have Roko and Imodium at home, but I'm not sure about the right dosage. Can you please give me some advice on what to do?

I've been experiencing some chest pain that's worrying me, especially when I bend over or first thing in the morning. Its more like a pinning sensation sometimes. I've had an ECG, echo, TMT, and chest X-rays, and they all came back normal. I'm currently on gastric meds like Razl, VSL#3, Sucraloc, and Normaxin. The pain mostly bothers me when I wake up, but not so much during the rest of the day. Could this be muscular or something gastric-related even though I don't have heartburn? I do notice the pain very occasionally while eating, but it doesn't last long. What could be going on?
