I've been feeling this weird movement in my lower abdomen for the past 67 months. It feels like a fast expansion and contraction, kinda like my heart is beating in my stomach, happening 3 or 4 times in a row and then again after a few hours. It's even visible if I look at my abdomen. Do you have any idea what might be causing this?

It's normal peristaltic movement of our gut which can be seen in some people.

View allI'm really worried because I wasn't diagnosed with malaria, but the doctor prescribed me Lariago and now I'm experiencing side effects like vomiting every time I burp or eat. It's been hard to eat anything for the past four days since I took Lariago. I don't have a fever anymore, but I've tried taking Rekool and Rabium for the nausea and vomiting, but they haven't really worked. Plus, I've been dealing with a lot of acidity. Could you suggest something to help with the vomiting?
You might be Allergic to lariago,stop taking that tablet, visit your doctor for alternate medicine.

I've been dealing with gallstones and came across a couple of alternative treatments extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy ESWL and methyl tertiary butyl ether MTBE. Are these actually effective compared to gallbladder surgery? I'm a bit worried about going under the knife and wanted to know if these options are safe or worth considering.
While extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) are sometimes considered for gallstones, gallbladder surgery (cholecystectomy) is generally the preferred and most effective treatment for symptomatic gallstones. ESWL and MTBE have limited use and are often not recommended for long-term management due to the high likelihood of stone recurrence.

I've had the ARMS procedure for GERD and acidity, but I still get constant burping. If I try to hold in a burp, I end up vomiting right away. Is there any permanent solution for this, maybe even surgery or another treatment? It's really affecting my daily life.
Persistent burping after ARMS may be due to altered gastric motility—further testing like manometry or fundoplication revision may help; consult a GI motility specialist.
