I'm feeling a bit uneasy because I've had this discomfort and pain in the upper right side of my chest for the past three days. I visited a gastric specialist and he mentioned it might be due to acidity, so he prescribed Pantocid 40mg and Rifagut. I've been taking them for two days now, but the discomfort hasnt improved. Do you think I should get an X-ray to check what's going on? Any advice would be really helpful.

yes do one chest xray

My father has stage 2 internal hemorrhoids and keeps having heavy bleeding episodes. He takes Daflon when it happens, which stops the bleeding for about two months, but then it starts again. Is this cycle going to keep repeating, or is there a permanent fix? Would surgery help, or are there better medicines to stop the bleeding for good?

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.
