I'm really concerned about some symptoms I've been experiencing lately. I've been feeling really fatigued, super sleepy, and I've had a few fevers now and then. I've also noticed some weight loss and hair loss, and I've been getting headaches. My ultrasound report says there's decreased echotexture of my liver, which they mentioned could be hepatitis. Could these symptoms all be related, and should I be worried about the possibility of hepatitis? What steps should I take next?

Based on your symptoms of fatigue, sleepiness, occasional fever, weight loss, hair loss, and headache, along with the ultrasound report showing decreased echotexture of the liver suggestive of hepatitis, this points to possible liver inflammation. I recommend further blood tests and a detailed evaluation to confirm the cause and guide treatment effectively.

View allI just turned 17 and accidentally swallowed a jamun seed. I'm kinda freaking out about it. Do you think it's harmless, or could it be something dangerous for my health?
Don't worry, accidentally swallowing a plum seed (jamun) is generally harmless, as the seed's toxic compound, amygdalin, is released only when the seed is crushed or chewed, and the digestive system can pass the intact seed without issues; however, to be cautious, drink plenty of water and monitor your health for any unusual symptoms, and if you experience severe abdominal pain, vomiting, or diarrhea, seek medical attention.

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with indigestion for a week now. Everything I eat just comes back up with some sour water, and on top of that, I'm experiencing chest and shoulder pains, feeling lightheaded and dizzy, plus there's this burning feeling in my stomach. Is all this just due to acidity, or could it be something more serious like a heart attack? I'm not sure what to think and would appreciate any advice.
Based on your symptoms, it is important to rule out any serious conditions such as a heart attack. However, the symptoms you are describing, including indigestion, sour water regurgitation, chest pain, shoulder pain, light-headedness, dizziness, and burning sensation in the stomach, are more commonly associated with acidity or acid reflux. To help with your symptoms, you can try taking an over-the-counter antacid like Tums or Rolaids to help neutralize the stomach acid. Additionally, you can take a proton pump inhibitor like Prilosec or Nexium to reduce the production of stomach acid. It is important to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.

I'm feeling some tightness in my throat that started about 23 weeks ago. There's no pain, and I can swallow and eat without any issues, but it constantly feels like something's stuck in there. Could this be from muscle tightness or maybe something gastric? It's been more than two weeks now, and I'm wondering what I should do next. Which type of doctor should I consult for this? Also, I live around Haralur Road and Sarjapur Road in Bangaloreany nearby doctor recommendations would be really helpful.
It is possible that the sensation of tightness in your throat could be due to muscle tightness or a gastric issue such as acid reflux. To help alleviate this symptom, you can try taking Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast for 2 weeks. Additionally, you can use Gaviscon syrup 10-15ml after meals and at bedtime as needed for relief. If the symptoms persist after trying these medications, you may consult an ENT specialist (Ear, Nose, and Throat) for further evaluation
