Question 1

I've been dealing with this really weird problem where my breath smells like rotten eggs or sulfur and I just can't figure out why. I brush my teeth three times a dayafter I wake up, after lunch, and before bed. I also floss regularly and use nonalcoholic mouthwash. I used to have tonsil stones and thought that might be the reason, but even after getting my tonsils removed, the smell hasn't gone away. It's like the smell is coming from the top of my mouth or maybe even from my stomach. My diet is pretty normal, and I'm maintaining a healthy weight at 6'2'' and 180 lbs. Plus, I'm pretty active since I'm always on my feet at work. What do you think could be causing this?

Accepted Answer

It could be related to gastrointestinal issues. I recommend trying a medication like omeprazole (Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast to reduce stomach acid production, which can sometimes contribute to bad breath. Additionally, you can try using simethicone (Gas-X) 125mg after meals to help reduce gas in the stomach, which can also cause bad breath. Make sure to follow the recommended dosages for these medications. If the issue persists, consider consulting with a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

Question 2

I've been noticing something strange with my stomach lately. It moves up and down kind of like a heartbeat but not the usual rhythm you get from breathing. After I eat, it feels like it's more intense, almost like some veins are gathering and feel heavy. This movement continues all day, usually at a normal pace. At first, I thought it was my actual heartbeat, but even when my pulse is 72 bpm, the movement doesn't stop. I looked it up online, and it mentioned something about an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Could that be what I'm experiencing?

A  CT abdomen is advised ,follow up with the reports...

Question 3

I've been having this weird feeling like there's something stuck in my throat for the last couple of weeks, and now I've been dealing with chest pain too. About three days ago, the chest pain got worse, but it's kinda settled down now. I saw an ENT specialist who thinks it's Acid Reflux and suggested taking Pan D capsules and Sucrafil syrup for a week. The chest pain is better, but this throat lump feeling won't go away. I even had an Echo stress test when the pain got bad, and luckily that came back okay. The ENT said I should check in with a chest doctor too. Any ideas on how I can get rid of this throat sensation and chest pain? It's really bugging me.
