Question 1

I'm dealing with a headache on the right side, plus I've got this awful acidity and gas. To make matters worse, I threw up last night. I tried some ajwain churans, and I've been taking Ocid and medigas, but my headache just isn't easing up much. I do yoga every morning, which helps a little, but the headache is still there. Can you suggest anything I can do to feel better?

Accepted Answer

Visit your Physician for evaluation and appropriate management

Question 2

I'm dealing with IBS and every night I feel really bloated. My doctor told me to take Unienzyme three times a day, but I'm still having this issue. Is it safe for me to try the 222 tablet instead? I'm just trying to figure out how to get some relief.

Lower Abdominal Pain, Anal SkinMuscle Formation, and Muscle Lumps

_Symptoms and Possible Causes_

1. _Lower abdominal pain_: Mild pain on both sides of the lower abdomen can be caused by:
    - Constipation
    - Urinary tract infection (UTI)
    - Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
    - Hernia
2. _Anal skinmuscle formation_: The extra skinmuscle formation on the anus, increasing in size over two months, could be:
    - Hemorrhoids
    - Anal fissure
    - Anal abscess
    - Skin tag
3. _Muscle lumps_: Muscle lumps in other parts of the body, present for two years without increasing in size, might be:
    - Benign tumors (e.g., lipomas)
    - Muscle knots or trigger points
    - Fibromyalgia

_Recommendations_

1. _Consult a doctor_: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a specialist (e.g., gastroenterologist, proctologist) to evaluate your symptoms.
2. _Physical examination and diagnostic tests_: Your doctor will perform a physical examination and may order diagnostic tests, such as:
    - Blood tests
    - Imaging studies (e.g., ultrasound, CT scan)
    - Endoscopy or colonoscopy
3. _Treatment and management_: Based on the diagnosis, your doctor will recommend treatment and management options to address your symptoms and underlying conditions.

Question 3

I've been dealing with a fatty liver, and just a couple of months ago, my SGPT levels were at 96. Now, thanks to medication, they've dropped to 63. But now I'm concerned because my direct bilirubin has gone up to 0.6, whereas it was normal before. Should I be worried about this change in bilirubin, and does it mean anything serious about my liver condition or overall health?

Accepted Answer

Your SGPT levels have improved with medication, but your direct bilirubin has increased. This could indicate ongoing liver inflammation or damage. I recommend you continue with your current medication and also consider adding Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) to help improve liver function and reduce bilirubin levels. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for monitoring and further guidance.

Could be hernia, umbilical granuloma, or muscle strain‚Äîget abdominal USG and consult a general surgeon.
