I'm experiencing this weird sensation where whenever I drink water, I feel a cold sensation in the right side of my chest. It's been happening for about a month now, along with moderate chest pain that comes and goes, and it feels like something is stuck in my throat. I'm getting a bit worried about what this could mean. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on and what I should do next?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), where acid from the stomach can irritate the chest and throat. The sensation of something stuck in your throat could be due to acid reflux affecting the esophagus. I recommend consulting a healthcare provider to evaluate your symptoms and discuss possible treatments like antacids or lifestyle changes.

View allThe other night I got pretty drunk and ended up throwing up, but it was this weird black, like coffee ground color vomit. I actually felt okay when I woke up the next morning though. Is this something I should be worried about?
The black ground coffee color vomit you experienced could be due to the presence of blood in your vomit. This can be a sign of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. I recommend you to take Pantoprazole 40mg once daily before breakfast for 2 weeks. If the symptom persists, please consult a doctor for further evaluation.

I'm really confused about my H. pylori infection results. I've been dealing with gastritis for about three months now. After finishing two rounds of antibiotics, the first test still showed a positive result for H. pylori. I just had an endoscopy and the RUT test came back positive too. But then, on the other hand, the histopathology report from six biopsy samples says there's no H. pylori colonization. Which one should I trust?
It seems there is a discrepancy between the RUT (rapid urease test) and the biopsy results. The RUT is positive, suggesting H. pylori presence, while the biopsy shows no colonization. In such cases, the biopsy results are generally considered more accurate as it involves a deeper tissue sample. It would be advisable to consult your doctor for further evaluation, as other factors could influence these results.
