I've been feeling something really weird on the left side, just below my ribs for the past three months. It's like a mix of pain, ticklish sensations, and bubbling. At one point, I thought maybe I'd torn a muscle, so I rushed to emergency. They did an ECG, checked my blood pressure, and even took an X-ray, but everything came back normal. I'm on some meds that the doctor gave me from the GD Diabetes Centre like Voveran SR, Pan D, and Trinerve 75. But still, when I touch the area, it hurts a bit, and when I don't, it feels ticklish and painful at the same time. Any idea what's going on or if I should be concerned?

I'm feeling quite worried about a few things. I recently had a general check-up, and they found my gall bladder to be moderately distended but without any calculi or wall thickening. What concerns me is my bloating, indigestion, and irregular bowel movements. The ultrasound mentioned fatty liver grade 1 too, and that has me even more concerned. I've also been experiencing daily stomach cramps, along with back and leg cramps. I've tried a lot of tablets for these issues and even had a colonoscopy and endoscopy done - both were normal. All other tests like my CBC, LFT, and RFT came back normal too. Can you help me understand what might be going on?

A moderately distended gallbladder without calculi or wall thickening is often a benign finding, but given your symptoms of bloating, indigestion, stomach cramps, back pains, and leg cramps, it's understandable that you're concerned; the fatty liver grade 1 is a common condition, often related to diet and lifestyle; consider discussing the following with your doctor: dietary changes to manage fatty liver, potential gallbladder function tests (e.g., HIDA scan), and further evaluation of your symptoms to rule out other underlying conditions.

I'm dealing with a chronic constipation issue that's been ongoing for about a year now. I've been taking Lectihep syrup and Pegmove to try and fix it, but neither seems to be doing the trick. I'm only able to have a bowel movement every five days. Can you give me some advice on how I can find some relief or suggest any home treatments that might help?

Consider combining dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, and supplements to manage chronic constipation; increase fiber intake through foods like whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, and consider adding psyllium husk or methylcellulose fiber supplements; also, try drinking warm water, exercising regularly, and establishing a consistent bowel routine;

I had some vomiting last night, and my heart started racing all of a sudden. I'm also feeling like there's a lot of gas in my stomach. Can you help me understand what's going on?

Given your symptoms of vomiting, increased heart rate, and stomach gas, it's possible you're experiencing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acid reflux, stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, avoid solid foods for now, opt for bland liquids like coconut water or clear broth, and consider taking an antacid or acid reducer like ranitidine or omeprazole;
