I've been having this weird issue for the past two months where my stomach feels like it's beating, kind of like a heartbeat. It's freaking me out a little, and I'm not sure what's causing it. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I should do about it?

So I've been taking metronidazole for 4 days and accidentally drank 3 beers. I feel fine right now, but I'm worried if everything will be okay. I'm also usually a heavy drinker, so I'm wondering if that changes anything.

you may not experience any adverse effects from having a few beers, but its important to be cautious. The best course of action is to avoid alcohol for the rest of your treatment and for 48 hours after you finish the medication. If you feel unwell or develop any symptoms, seek medical advice right away.

I've been dealing with hard stools and recently got a painful pimple in my butt crack that hurts every time I use the toilet. It went away after about two weeks but seems to have come back after a month. I drink a cup of coffee daily and I've been doing this for the past 8 years. Could coffee be causing this issue? I also have seasonal allergies and have been taking levocetirizine 5mg daily for about 3 years. Could either of these be contributing to my problems?

The recurring painful pimple in the butt crack, accompanied by hard stools, could be related to anal fissures, hemorrhoids, or perianal abscesses, potentially exacerbated by chronic constipation, straining during bowel movements, or irritation from coffee consumption; levocetirizine may also contribute to dry, hard stools, so consider consulting a gastroenterologist

My mom is 56 years old, 5'2¬ù tall, and weighs 55 kg. She has multiple gallstones ranging from 4mm to 10-11 mm. Can this be treated naturally with homeopathy or ayurvedic medicine, or is surgery the only option? What would you recommend for her condition?

For gallstones, especially those larger than 10mm, surgery (laparoscopic cholecystectomy) is generally recommended for effective removal. While homeopathic and ayurvedic approaches may offer symptom relief and support overall digestive health, they are not proven to dissolve or remove gallstones.
