I'm experiencing a tight feeling in my stomach and a lot of gas. I don't really want to eat or drink water, and I'm feeling pretty weak because of it. Could you recommend any tablets for better bowel movements? I'm not sure what to do.

I've had the ARMS procedure for GERD and acidity, but I still get constant burping. If I try to hold in a burp, I end up vomiting right away. Is there any permanent solution for this, maybe even surgery or another treatment? It's really affecting my daily life.

Persistent burping after ARMS may be due to altered gastric motility—further testing like manometry or fundoplication revision may help; consult a GI motility specialist.

I'm experiencing this strange sensation like something is crawling in my anus, but I can't see any worms or anything visible. This usually happens after I use the toilet and if I've been using the water pipe a lot. Could it possibly be some kind of infection from the water? There's no itching, just an uncomfortable and weird feeling like something's crawling inside. What could this be?

Possible helminthic infection. I recommend taking a single dose of Albendazole 400mg tablet to treat the possible infection. Additionally, maintaining good hygiene practices, such as washing hands frequently and keeping the anal area clean, can help prevent reinfection. If symptoms persist, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been experiencing this sharp, persistent pain on the right side of my rib cage for about a year now. I've seen a few doctors and they keep prescribing anti-inflammatory meds, but they just aren't doing the trick. Could you provide some guidance on what might be causing this or suggest any other treatment options?

take painkillers to reduce that pain
