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've been having really bad pain when passing stool for the past 3 weeks - it's gotten so bad I can't even go to work. A doctor back home recommended surgery but I'm not sure what to do. Are there other treatment options I could try first or should I go ahead with the surgery?
It sounds like you're dealing with significant pain while passing stool, and it's impacting your ability to work. Given the doctor's recommendation for surgery, it's wise to explore all options, but it's also crucial to get a second opinion. You could start with conservative treatments for painful bowel movements, such as dietary changes, over-the-counter medications, and warm baths. If these don't provide relief, discuss with your doctor if other options like prescription medications or physical therapy might be appropriate before considering surgery.

I've been dealing with antral gastritis and duodenitis for about 8 months now, and sometimes I get this weird sensation like my heart is skipping a beat. Is that something I should be worried about, or is it normal with these conditions?
Antral gastritis and duodenitis can cause discomfort and stress, which can, in turn, lead to sensations of skipped heartbeats or palpitations. This is because the vagus nerve, which runs from the brain to the abdomen, can be irritated, causing changes in heart rhythm. While these sensations can be alarming, they are often benign. However, it's important to rule out any cardiac issues, especially if the sensations are persistent or accompanied by other symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath. Consult with your healthcare provider to ensure proper management of your gastrointestinal condition and to discuss your heart rhythm concerns.
