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.

View allHey, I was hoping you could help me out with something. My friend has been having some trouble ever since she started drinking milk again after a two-year break. Whenever she has milk on an empty stomach, like in the morning or before bed, she ends up with gas issues and sometimes an upset stomach. Its been going on for about six months now. Could it be the milk that's causing the problem, or do you think it might be something else? And are there any ways to deal with this or things she should be doing differently?
It is possible that she may have developed lactose intolerance. Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest lactose, the sugar found in milk and dairy products. Symptoms include gas, bloating, and stomach upset after consuming dairy products. To help alleviate these symptoms, your friend can try taking lactase enzyme supplements before consuming milk or dairy products. These supplements help break down lactose and may reduce the symptoms of lactose intolerance. Additionally, she can try consuming lactose-free milk or dairy products, such as lactose-free milk or almond milk. It is important for your friend to consult with a doctor or a gastroenterologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
