I'm 20 years old and have a height of 5'10'' with a weight of 91 kg. About 4 months ago, I got a checkup, and everything was normal with my ECG and 2d Echo no cholesterol or sugar issues. The only thing was my vitamin B levels were at 93. Lately, I've been experiencing this strange pain every night in my left abdomen, right below the ribs, and sometimes I feel pain in my shoulder, neck area, and even in my arms on the left side. These pains come and go quickly, but the abdomen pain sticks around a little longer. I also have acidity and get reflux at night, with the pain happening around the same time when I'm just settling in bed. I'm just wondering if there's anything I should be concerned about with these symptoms or if there's something I can do to feel better.

I'm really worried about my dad's condition. The doctor mentioned he has to take this Pantocid HP kit, but I'm not sure how we're supposed to use it. Also, are there any side effects we should be aware of? Since he's diabetic too, does that pose any additional risks with these meds? Could really use some guidance here.
The Pantocid HP kit is commonly used to treat Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacterial infection in the stomach, which can cause ulcers. The kit usually contains a combination of three medications: Pantoprazole (40mg), Clarithromycin (500mg), and Amoxicillin (1000mg). It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and duration of the treatment to ensure effectiveness and minimize the risk of side effects. Since your father is a diabetic patient, it is important to monitor his blood sugar levels regularly while taking this medication, as it may interact with his diabetes medication. It is advisable to inform the doctor about his diabetes and any other medications he is taking to avoid any potential drug interactions.
