I've been feeling a bit uneasy ever since this incident a few months back when I was eating crunchy peanut butter and it got stuck in my food pipe. I experienced chest pain for about a week after that. Though it's been three months now, I'm still feeling kind of uneasy. I sometimes notice a vibration on the lower left side of my chest and have been dealing with this back pain for a couple of weeks. Is this something I should be worried about, or could it be related to acidity? Would really appreciate any advice you might have.

View allI'm seeing blood in my mucus pretty often throughout the past month. I did a PT Prothrombin time test, and it was 15 seconds, which seems higher than the normal range of 14.4 seconds. But the INR is 1.17, which I think is okay. I'm wondering if the bleeding is linked to some liver issues or if having a PT of 15 seconds is still considered normal? Do you think I should go for a Liver Function Test (LFT) to check what's going on?
Yes LFT is advised to the patient.

I've been dealing with gastritis for a few months now, and I got diagnosed with LAX LES GERD and H. pylori after an endoscopy. I completed the triple antibiotic treatment for H.pylori, but I'm not sure if it's fully gone. I'm still on acid blockers and antacids because my symptoms aren't getting much better. My stomach always feels bloated, and there's a burning sensation from the ribs down to the belly button, plus some discomfort when it comes to bowel movements. I've looked into allopathic treatments, but it seems like everything is about acid blockers, antibiotics, and lifestyle changes. I'm curious if there's a way to treat this with Ayurveda or if there's any proven method to really cure it. Any advice?
It's good that you have completed the triple antibiotic treatment for H. pylori eradication. Since you are still experiencing symptoms of gastritis and GERD, you can consider trying Ayurvedic treatment. It's important to consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized treatment plan based on your specific symptoms and body constitution. Ayurveda focuses on treating the root cause of the disease and aims for long-term relief. Make sure to follow a healthy diet and lifestyle as advised by the Ayurvedic practitioner for better results.

I've been struggling with high bilirubin levels for a couple of years now, and I'm feeling quite worried. The doctors checked for gallstones with an ultrasound and didn't find any. They said I need to follow a good diet, but my bilirubin levels went from 1.8 to 2.2 and haven't improved. What could be causing this, and what kind of treatment should I consider? Could it be something other than diet? I have my lab reports if that helps.
High bilirubin levels can be concerning, especially if they have been persisting for 2 years despite following a good diet and ruling out gallstones in the bladder. One possible treatment option to help lower bilirubin levels is to use Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). UDCA can help improve bile flow and reduce the amount of bilirubin in the blood. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment and make any necessary adjustments.
