I'm really concerned about this constant feeling of something pulling in the middle of my stomach between my ribs, and it's paired with heavy breathing. It's been happening for about three months now. I've had tests like Troponin, Stress Echo, X-ray of my chest and lungs, and an ultrasound, and everything came back normal. I've consulted a cardiologist, pulmonologist, and radiologist, but nothing seems to help. A bit of my background: Ive been taking Tolol XR25 for high blood pressure for a few years now and tried gastritis medicine like PanD for the past month, as suggested by my doctor, but it didnt work. My blood and urine tests are mostly normal except for a few things my Bilirubin is 1.99 mgdL, Vitamin D is 55 nmolL, Vitamin B12 is 177 pgmL, Apo A1 is 95 mgdL, and Apo B is 37 mgdL. Sometimes my hands shake, and I feel really lethargic all day, with heavy, labored breathing. I'm constantly aware of my stomach because of this. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

View allI'm wondering if it's okay to give ofloxacin oz for treating piles. The person I'm asking about is already on medication for hypertension. Can you advise me on this?
Using Ofloxacin OZ for Piles (Hemorrhoids)_ 1. _Not the first line of treatment_: Ofloxacin OZ is not typically used to treat piles. Hemorrhoids are usually managed with lifestyle changes, dietary modifications, and topical treatments. 2. _Potential risks_: Using antibiotics like Ofloxacin OZ for piles may lead to unnecessary antibiotic exposure, increasing the risk of antibiotic resistance and side effects. _Interactions with Hypertension Medication_ 1. _Potential interactions_: Ofloxacin OZ may interact with certain hypertension medications, such as beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, or diuretics. 2. _Monitor blood pressure and adjust medication_: If Ofloxacin OZ is prescribed, your doctor should monitor your blood pressure and adjust your hypertension medication as needed.

I've been having this weird pulling sensation in my lower right abdomen and a dull ache just below my right breast, but it doesn't happen all the time. I haven't noticed any problems with my diet or bowel movements. About a month ago, I took some medicine for mild gastritis after talking to my doctor. Should I be concerned about these sensations, or could they be related to the gastritis or something else?
The pulling sensation in the lower right abdomen could be related to muscle strain or even issues with the appendix. The dull ache below the right breast could be due to musculoskeletal pain or even related to gastritis. Considering your history of mild gastritis, it would be advisable to continue with medications that help with gastritis such as Omeprazole (20mg) once daily before breakfast

I'm having some stomach issues and it's got me worried. A couple of weeks ago, I started experiencing anxiety, a burning sensation in my stomach, constipation, and bloating. I saw a gastroenterologist and he prescribed me Rablet D for my stomach and Prothiadan 25 for my sleep and anxiety. Thankfully, my sleep and anxiety seem better now, and the burning sensation has mostly gone, except for that warm feeling when I eat something spicy or from outside. However, I'm still concerned because my stool isn't clearing properly and I feel gassy. My endoscopy came back normal, but my stool is mainly yellow or pale yellow, and I'm worried it might be a sign of malabsorption. I eat out a lot but I don't drink much and I'm a nonsmoker. There's also this knotty feeling on the side of my stomach and some slight back aches when my bowel isn't clear. Could you advise what my next step should be?
Given your persistent gas, indigestion, and yellowish stool despite normal endoscopy results, consult your gastroenterologist about potential malabsorption issues, and consider further tests, such as stool tests for pancreatic elastase or fecal fat, breath tests for small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), or a hydrogen breath test to assess carbohydrate absorption, to determine the underlying cause and guide treatment.
