View allI'm really worried because I've been having black vomiting and stomach pain. Could these symptoms mean I might have stomach cancer, and does it affect my ability to digest food? What should I do?
Methotrexate) as it can affect liver function. With a history of gallbladder surgery and HCV detection, your liver health is a concern. Although RNA quantification is negative, your doctor will assess the risks and benefits. Methotrexate can cause liver toxicity, so monitoring is crucial. Your doctor may recommend alternative treatments or adjust the dosage. Regular liver function tests will be necessary.

I've been dealing with this regular mild chest pain that's been moving aroundsometimes it's in my upper abdomen, other times it shifts to the left or right side. I've gone through all the tests like ECG, chest X-ray, lipid profile, USG of the abdomen, thyroid checks, and even had my RBC and WBC levels looked at, and everything came out normal. The doctors said it could be gas-related and suggested PAN 40, which I've been taking, but the pain hasn't really gone away. I havent had any fever since this started happening. Could you advise on what medicine might actually help with this?
Since you have already been taking PAN 40 regularly for your mild chest pain which is suspected to be due to gas, but have not found relief, I would recommend adding another medication to help with your symptoms. You can try taking **Ranitidine (Zantac)** 150mg twice daily before meals. This medication can help further reduce the production of stomach acid and alleviate your discomfort. Make sure to follow the dosage instructions provided on the packaging. Additionally, continue to monitor your symptoms and follow up with your doctor if the pain persists or worsens.

I'm dealing with a lot of saliva production, especially in the mornings when I wake up. Within minutes my mouth gets full of saliva, and I have to keep spitting throughout the day to manage it. It's a bit better after I brush, but it's still an issue. What's going on here, and how can I get this under control?
Excessive saliva production, also known as hypersalivation, can have various causes such as medication side effects, GERD, infections, or neurological conditions. In your case, since the issue improves after brushing, it could be related to oral hygiene. I recommend using a mouthwash containing chlorhexidine gluconate 0.12% solution twice daily after brushing. Additionally, you can try using tablets containing atropine sulfate 0.5mg to reduce saliva production. If the problem persists, consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
