I'm Nilesh Jain from Mumbai, 35 years old. I don't have diabetes, but I've got cervical spondylosis. Lately, after lunch, I've been having loose motions. It happened yesterday as well, went four times, and noticed my stool was a very dark brown. Could this be a sign of a heart attack?

Loose motion and dark brown stool after lunch are not typical signs of a heart attack. In your case, it may be related to your diet or other gastrointestinal issues. However, it is important to monitor your symptoms and stay hydrated. To address the loose motion, you can take over-the-counter medication like loperamide (Imodium) as directed on the package. If the problem persists or worsens, it would be advisable to consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

View allI've been dealing with a bit of a situation. A week ago, I had a throat infection and was on medication for it, but then I started having stomach upset and loose motions. I decided to stop the medication, and I tried arrowroot powder to help. It seemed to work, but now, for the past three days, I've had stomach pain on both sides. I dont usually have issues with gastric acidity, but the pain gets worse when I walk, go upstairs, or take a deep breath. What should I do about this?
If the pain is severe, constant, or associated with symptoms like vomiting, fever, bloody stools, or significant tenderness, it would be wise to consult with a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying issues, such as an intestinal infection or inflammation.

My ultrasound showed a thickened gallbladder wall with a 15mm polyp and a few small calculi. The doctor prescribed antibiotic drips twice a day for infection, but my stomach feels bloated like there's air inside. Is this serious? Can it be treated with just meds or will I need surgery?
It's important to follow up with your doctor to discuss your concerns and the treatment plan, as they will have the most accurate information about your specific situation. While a thickened gallbladder wall, a 15mm polyp, and small calculi (gallstones) are concerning, they don't necessarily mean immediate surgery is needed. The 15mm polyp does increase the risk of malignancy, and polyps larger than 10mm are often recommended for removal. Your doctor's decision about treatment will depend on several factors, including the size and type of polyp, the presence of gallstones, and whether you are experiencing symptoms
