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.

View allI'm having to go to the bathroom 4 to 5 times every morning, and it gets worse if I eat outside or have anything spicy, which then gives me a burning sensation. With plain homemade food, it's okay, except for still having to go several times. My doctor says I have IBS and mentioned its a disorder rather than a disease, and apparently it can't be cured. Can you guide me on this? Is there anything I can do to improve the situation?
It sounds like you are experiencing symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking a medication like Dicyclomine (Bentyl) 20mg before meals to help reduce the frequency of bowel movements and relieve abdominal cramping. Additionally, you can try a probiotic supplement like Align once daily to help regulate your gut flora and improve digestion. It is also important to maintain a healthy diet with plenty of fiber and stay hydrated. Avoiding trigger foods like spicy foods can also help reduce symptoms. Regular exercise and stress management techniques can also be beneficial in managing IBS symptoms.

I'm worried because I've been having stomach problems for the past month. Every time I eat, I quickly get this gas build-up, and it feels like I constantly need to release it. Plus, my bowel movements have increasedI'm going about 4 to 5 times a day. What could be causing this, and how should I handle it?

I'm a female and have been struggling with this issue for about three years now. Every time I masturbate at night, I wake up the next morning with really intense stomach pain that lasts for around four days. During those days, the pain is so bad that I can't even eat because it makes the pain worse. I've noticed this only happens after I masturbate; otherwise, I'm totally normal. I've gone to several gynecologists, but none have been able to help. I'm really desperate to find a solution to this. What could be causing these severe stomach pains after masturbation, and how can I get relief?
Masturbation can sometimes trigger or worsen these cramps in some individuals. To help alleviate the stomach pain after masturbation, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers. Additionally, applying a heating pad to your lower abdomen may also provide some relief. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest during this time. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
