I had an endoscopy a few days ago and now my chest is really hurting. Should I be concerned and go get it checked out, or is it okay to wait a bit longer?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Chest pain after an endoscopy can sometimes occur due to irritation from the procedure. However, if the pain is severe or persistent, it is important to seek medical attention to rule out any serious complications. You can take over-the-counter antacids like Tums (dosage: 2 tablets every 4-6 hours as needed) for relief in the meantime. If the pain worsens or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms, such as difficulty breathing or severe heartburn, please seek medical help immediately.

There are many possible diagnoses for a lump in the chest. It depends on the size, extent, pain involvement, consistency, movability and various other factors. Most common lumps are lymph node swellings or lipomas. Consult a physician for further investigation.

I'm 29 and I've been going to the gym regularly. I've started taking Blong tablets, and I'm a bit worried. Could these tablets be causing weight gain and constipation?
yes

I'm really worried because I've just been diagnosed with a grade 2 fatty liver and my sgpt is at 70.05. I've started feeling a dull abdominal pain, and even though I've cut out oily junk food and now walk about 3-4 kms daily, I'm struggling to get a good night's sleep, probably because of stress. Lately, I've noticed that after eating cabbage sabji for dinner, I can smell cabbage in my stool the next day. Could this mean something, or am I just overthinking it? Would love to hear your thoughts.
Its great that youve made positive changes like walking and avoiding oily foods. Fatty liver can cause mild discomfort, and stress might be affecting your sleep. The cabbage smell in your stool is likely due to digestion, which is normal, but if the pain persists or worsens, I recommend consulting your doctor for further guidance. Managing stress and improving sleep quality can also help with your overall health.
