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'm really stressed out about my health right now. I've been dealing with hemorrhoids and started taking Himalaya Pilex tablets because I heard they could help. I was taking two tablets, twice a day, but after 14 days, my hemorrhoids got worse instead of better. Plus, I've noticed the nerves in my arms and legs are swollen, I'm hearing noises in my ear, and my TSH levels jumped to 9.2 from normal. I've stopped taking the Pilex tablets, but the swelling and noise in my ear keep getting worse. I'm really worried and looking for advice on how to stop the effects and what I should do next. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Your symptoms may be multifactorial and could involve both a side effect from the Pilex tablets and a potential thyroid issue. Stopping the medication was a good first step, but a thorough evaluation by a doctor is essential to rule out other health concerns and guide you on the next steps for treatment. It's crucial to monitor your thyroid function and address any potential underlying issues. Please get medical attention as soon as possible.

I'm a bit worried because after eating spicy food, I noticed some black, sand-like stuff in my mouth. It doesn't taste good and I'm not sure what it is. I used to smoke but quit about four years ago. I'm concerned it might be something serious, like throat cancer. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it normal?
