I'm really struggling with some severe issues related to eating, swallowing, and drinking. Every time I swallow anything, it feels like it hits a mass underneath my bra line, and this causes a lot of back pain and discomfort. I had my gallbladder removed four years ago, and I also have a hemangioma growing outside my liver. I'm really worried about these symptoms and looking for some advice on what might be going on. Could this be related to my past surgeries or the hemangioma? What should I do?

To help with swallowing and discomfort, you can try taking a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole (20mg) once a day before breakfast to reduce stomach acid and alleviate any reflux symptoms. Additionally, you can take Simethicone (80mg) after meals to help with gas and bloating. It is important to stay hydrated, so make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I had an episode of vomiting with blood yesterday, and I'm a regular smoker and drinker. Could you help me understand why that might have happened and what kind of doctor I should reach out to?

Back pain from prolonged sitting is common. Shelcal 500 mg (Calcium and Vitamin D3) may help alleviate back pain by: 1. Supporting bone health 2. Relaxing muscles 3. Reducing muscle spasms However, consider the following: 1. Consult your doctor before starting any new supplements. 2. Shelcal 500 mg is primarily for calcium and vitamin D supplementation, not specifically for back pain relief. 3. Everyday intake may lead to excessive calcium consumption. Recommendation: 1. Consult an orthopedic specialist or physical therapist to address underlying causes of back pain. 2. Maintain good posture, take regular breaks, and stretch while sitting. 3. Consider exercises strengthening your core and back muscles. Discuss Shelcal 500 mg with your doctor, and follow their guidance.
