Ive been noticing this weird sensation, like something's moving inside my stomach, especially when I sleep on it. It doesn't hurt, but it feels unusual. Could it possibly be some type of worm or parasite? Any insights would be really helpful.

It is possible that you may have intestinal worms. I recommend taking Albendazole 400mg as a single dose. This medication is effective against a variety of intestinal parasites. It is important to follow up with a repeat dose after 2 weeks to ensure complete eradication of the worms.

I've been dealing with acidity for the past year, especially in the mornings. I've tried a bunch of medicines, and while they help, I end up feeling really weak. What could be causing this, and do you have any suggestions on what I should do next?

I've been feeling a hard lump in my upper stomach and having trouble passing stool, only going a little at a time. My weight has gone up, my stomach feels bloated, and my face looks puffy. What could be causing this? I had surgery to remove my womb two years ago could that be related to these stomach issues?

I'm really concerned about my husband. He went for a sonography because of his stomach pain, and they found something else too. His report says his liver size is normal, but there's an increased echo pattern mentioned. He also has high blood pressure, but he doesn't drink alcohol. I'm worried about what this could mean and how it might develop. Is it something serious?
