I've been having pain on my right side for about two weeks now, especially when I lay on my left side. It's pretty uncomfortable, and I'm starting to worry. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The persistent pain on your right side, exacerbated by lying on your left side, could be related to various factors, including muscle strain, gallbladder issues, kidney stones, or even a herniated disk; consider consulting a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation, including physical examination and potentially imaging tests, to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

View allI'm a bit worried because I just drank Hot Milk Tea right after having Whey Protein with water. Should I be expecting any stomach issues, or is it okay to mix those two? I'm curious if anyone else had this experience or if it might cause any problems for me.
Consuming hot milk tea immediately after whey protein with water is unlikely to cause significant stomach issues, as milk and protein can complement each other, but potential discomfort may arise from the temperature change, lactose intolerance, or individual sensitivity to dairy or protein, so monitor your body's response and adjust your routine accordingly.

I'm really worried about my dad's liver test results. The bilirubin levels seem a bit off with total at 0.93 mgdl and direct at 0.35 mgdl. The SGPT and AST are at 74 UL and the SGPT ALT is 120 UL; both are higher than they should be. Is it something we should be concerned about? My dad enjoys two pegs of alcohol daily - could that be affecting his liver? What do these numbers mean, and should we be taking any steps to improve his liver health?
STOP ALCOHOL. BLEND DITE. TABLET URSODEX PLUS TWO TIMES A DAY AFTER FOOD FOR FIFTEEN DAYS. REPEAT TEST AFTER THAT. FRESH CURD, BUTTER MILK ARE BENIFICIAL. O.K, BYE.

I've been dealing with this pressure in my head for quite a while now, and it usually flares up a couple of hours after I eat, especially in the afternoon. I notice my stomach bloats during these times, and it feels somewhat better once I pass gas or have a bowel movement, but that head pressure is really what's bothering me. It's mostly on the right side of my head, although sometimes I feel it on the left too. Ive seen a bunch of doctors, like psychiatry and Gastro Endocrinologist specialists, but I dont have any issues with my stomach or stools. I just can't figure out what's causing this, and it's really stressing me out. Do you have any thoughts on what it could be or what I should do next?
Based on your symptoms, it sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of migraine headaches triggered by food intake and associated with gastrointestinal symptoms. I recommend trying a combination medication like Sumatriptan and Naproxen (brand name Suminat-NT) for relief of your migraine symptoms. The usual dosage is one tablet at the onset of symptoms, followed by another tablet if needed after 2 hours, not exceeding two tablets in 24 hours. Additionally, you may benefit from taking Simethicone (brand name Colicaid) to help with the bloating and gas symptoms. The usual dosage is 40mg to 180mg taken orally after meals and at bedtime as needed. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication regimen.
