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 allMy stomach has been hurting for the past three days. It's like these cramps and sharp pains that come and go every day, lasting about 5 to 10 seconds before it goes back to normal. Do you have any idea what might be causing this? Could it be related to some kind of gastro issue? What can I do at home to feel better?
It sounds like you might be experiencing mild gastrointestinal discomfort, possibly due to indigestion, gas, or even a mild stomach infection. Try taking an over-the-counter antacid or anti-gas medication, drink warm water, and avoid heavy or spicy foods. If the pain persists or worsens, its best to consult a doctor to rule out other causes.

I've been struggling with stomach bloating for about three years now. It's always accompanied by a lot of flatulence, and over the past year, I've noticed my stools becoming pencil-thin. I go to the bathroom 2-3 times a day, and there's always this slight cramping on the upper left side of my stomach. Could you tell me what might be going on and what steps I should take next?
