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.

View allI've been having this abdominal pain in my lower groin area, and it seems to get worse when I feel like I need to pass stool, which has been coming out black. There's also a lot of gas and I feel hungry, but every time I eat, I feel an immediate urge to use the bathroom again. It's been a bit worrying, and Im wondering what could be causing it?
Try to identify and avoid the foods that affect you the most. Foods that cause gas problems . Try cutting back on fried and fatty foods.Often, bloating results from eating fatty foods. Fat delays stomach emptying and can increase the sensation of fullness. Reduce your use of dairy products. Try using low-lactose dairy foods, such as yogurt, instead of milk. Try smaller portions-Many of the foods that can cause gas are part of a healthy diet. So, try eating smaller portions of problem foods to see if your body can handle a smaller portion without creating excess gas. Eat slowly, chew your food thoroughly and don't gulp. Don't smoke Cigarette smoking can increase the amount of air you swallow. Physical activity may help move gas through the digestive tract.

I'm having trouble with hard stools. I ate some bread and pizza, and since then, I've been dealing with chronic constipation. It kinda feels like there's something really stuck in my colon. Can you suggest a practical and lasting solution for this?
To relieve your constipation and prevent it from becoming a long-term issue, focus on: Increasing fiber (fruits, vegetables, whole grains). Drinking more water. Exercising regularly. Avoiding processed foods that can contribute to constipation. Trying natural laxatives or gentle over-the-counter remedies if necessary. If your symptoms persist or worsen, dont hesitate to reach out to a doctor

I'm experiencing this mild pain around my ribs on both sides, and it's been bothering me whenever I move. I got a chest X-ray, but the results seemed unclear since it was just black and white. I also struggle a lot with acidity and gastric issues, and there's this burning sensation in the middle of my chest. Plus, the pain seems to extend to my right shoulder, coming from the chest area. I'm a bit worried and not sure what's going on. Could you advise on what might be causing these symptoms and which type of doctor I should see to get this figured out?
X-Rays radiographs are black and white itself. Do not expect colors in that. As of now, take a tab. Rantac 150mg twice a day half an hour before food for 10 days. If it still persists, consult a MD consultant physician in person for further evaluation and management.
