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 really puzzled right now. I recently finished a course of Flagyl for what my gi doctor suspected was giardia since I was having diarrhea, stomach pains, and nausea. So today, I had a plain hamburger with some ketchup and cheetos, and my diarrhea came back for about 2 hours. I'm trying to figure out why this happened. Could it be something about the food I ate, or is there another issue I might be dealing with?
The return of diarrhea after eating could be related to the foods you ate or your bodys ongoing recovery from the giardiasis infection. Monitor your symptoms and adjust your diet accordingly. If symptoms dont improve or if they worsen, consider following up with your doctor to rule out any underlying issues or complications.

I've been dealing with gastritis for a few months now, and I got diagnosed with LAX LES GERD and H. pylori after an endoscopy. I completed the triple antibiotic treatment for H.pylori, but I'm not sure if it's fully gone. I'm still on acid blockers and antacids because my symptoms aren't getting much better. My stomach always feels bloated, and there's a burning sensation from the ribs down to the belly button, plus some discomfort when it comes to bowel movements. I've looked into allopathic treatments, but it seems like everything is about acid blockers, antibiotics, and lifestyle changes. I'm curious if there's a way to treat this with Ayurveda or if there's any proven method to really cure it. Any advice?
It's good that you have completed the triple antibiotic treatment for H. pylori eradication. Since you are still experiencing symptoms of gastritis and GERD, you can consider trying Ayurvedic treatment. It's important to consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized treatment plan based on your specific symptoms and body constitution. Ayurveda focuses on treating the root cause of the disease and aims for long-term relief. Make sure to follow a healthy diet and lifestyle as advised by the Ayurvedic practitioner for better results.
