Question 1

I've been dealing with acidity for the past year, especially in the mornings. I've tried a bunch of medicines, and while they help, I end up feeling really weak. What could be causing this, and do you have any suggestions on what I should do next?

Accepted Answer

To alleviate morning acidity and weakness, consider the following: modify your diet by avoiding trigger foods (spicy, fatty, or citrusy), eating smaller, more frequent meals, and incorporating alkaline-rich foods (fruits, vegetables, and whole grains); in addition to antacids or acid reducers, try natural remedies like ginger, aloe vera juice, or licorice tea;

Question 2

I'm a 45-year-old woman and I was recently advised to take deworming tablets because I had a stomach infection a few days ago. I'm curious about which deworming tablet is recommended for adults in India. Is there just one option available, or are there other alternatives to consider? I'm also wondering if taking the tablet is a permanent solution, or if there's a chance the issue could come back.

Accepted Answer

Tab Albendazole is broad spectrum and widely used one, you can take this tablet

Question 3

I'm having this weird feeling of uneasiness in my chest, but it's only when I'm trying to sleep at night, during the day it's not there at all. When it happens, I usually just get up, drink some water, and I end up belching a lot, and then after a while, I can go back to sleep like normal. I've been keeping an eye on my SpO2 at home and its around 97-98 every time I check it. Also, I went to a general physician yesterday, May 18, and they said my SpO2 is good too. I don't have any other symptoms, especially those related to Covid. My doctor gave me antibiotics to be on the safer side along with some vitamins for three days. I'm just wondering if there's anything else I should be looking into, like, should I get a CT scan of my lungs or anything like that given my situation?
