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've been dealing with chronic acidity issues for a long time, and it seems to run in my family as both my mom and dad have a history of gastric problems. It's been particularly tough after relocating to Bangalorethings have become quite unbearable lately. I generally take 150mg of Zintac after lunch, and if it's really bad, I take Omez in the morning too. However, for the past two weeks, I've been waking up with a nauseous feeling and get heartburn within an hour after breakfast. My breakfast is usually at 7 AM, and by 10 AM, the heartburn subsides but I still feel acidic. The same cycle repeats after lunch around 12:30. I even try to eat fruit in between. Things get worse after 4 PM, with more acidity but no heartburn, just a burpy sensation. I notice I have gas mostly at night, but it's not excessive. When I take Zintac after lunch and dinner, it seems to help. Could you advise on what else I might do to manage this persistent acidity?
You may be suffering from GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). Avoid spicy and acidic foods and quitreduce smoking if you are a smoker. Restrict alcohol intake to a minimum. Elevate the headside of your bed by 15-30 degrees, and do not lie down immediately after having a meal. Try to have smaller and more frequent meals and reduce teacoffee. You may need to go on a long term treatment regimen for chronic acidity, for which you should consult a physician.
