Recently Answered Questions on Left side discomfort under ribs

Hi I have severe bloating and feeling heavy/full all the time.  Tummy looks very huge   like 9 months pregnant and always popping out.  I also have burning sensation in the upper abdomen, nausea, heartburn ,regurgitation.   I had an upper endoscopy last month and it showed up reactive gastropathy.  Dr told me to continue PPI medicine.   Been taking it for last 4 months.   No changes yet.   Dr sent me for an right upper abdomen ultrasound and got the results today.  She said she is doing this ultrasound to check for liver, gallbladder.    I am trying to understand myself what this indicates and if anything makes sense to my symptoms and discomfort. Does the report says anything serious? Is this reversible?  I see that it says something about liver size and condition. Is that something serious? Is that reversible? Any medication that helps with it? I don't take much oil or fat. How to reverse the condition? My endoscopy showed reactive gastropathy. Is that because of liver condition.

Dear Practo Support Team, I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to seek assistance regarding some vision-related issues that I have been experiencing recently. I have been facing low vision issues with my eyes, particularly when working on digital devices such as laptops. Without my glasses, I have hazy and blurry vision, making it difficult for me to focus on the screen and work effectively for extended periods of time. Additionally, I have been experiencing dry eye issues, which further exacerbate my discomfort and impact my productivity. Given the nature of my work, which involves extensive use of digital screens, these vision problems have become a significant challenge for me. I am reaching out to seek your guidance on potential solutions or recommendations that could help alleviate my symptoms and improve my ability to work comfortably and efficiently. I would greatly appreciate any advice or assistance you could provide in this matter.

Some Symptoms : Discomfort if someone staring me constantly, facing difficulty doing activities and weird behaviour, going public places meeting new people, attending social gatherings, feeling anxious about judging others, and scrutinising me. Difficulty in eye contact, got blank interacting people. Environment: I rarely go outside of my house, neighbourhoods of my house fears me, in a way that my weaknesses will expose to peoples, and i will do some mistakes or embarrass myself in front of everybody. i don’t want to be an centre point of attraction anywhere. Around my neighbourhood i don’t talk anyone, i just have school buddies for the sake of friends, which is also not close friends, i don’t feel really anxious with them but i didn’t share anything about me with them and they don’t know actual me, they just don’t know anything about me.

I have some minor discomfort in my penis from past few days. Pain is not very intense and I can barely feel it when I am busy. Most of the time I feel like it is in the tip near penis opening, but sometimes i feel like its in the left side of the shaft. I do not have any unusual discharge from my penis and I am washing my glans with clean water daily. I am getting proper erections and they are not painful. I do not have any pain post ejaculation. Apart from this I have noticed few things : 1. If I sit in crossed legs posture, i get relief in pain. 2. Recently I have noticed my penis is slightly curves to the right. 3. Sometimes my pee stream goes in the right direction and not straight. 4. There is a tiny bump like structure on my shaft(right side) which is painless and barely noticeable. I do not have any frequent urge to urinate, neither my urine has any foul smell. My penis including glans look completely healthy. Pain is very less and we can say it has little burning sensation.

Subject: Desperate for Help: Struggling with Overwhelming Anxiety I hope you're well. I'm writing to you because I feel completely lost and desperate for help. Every 3-4 days, I'm hit with this intense anxiety and discomfort that seems to be linked to some hormonal rollercoaster. I've tried everything – spirituality, meditation – but nothing seems to ease this overwhelming feeling. The worst part? I end up resorting to things like masturbation or other dopamine releases, like betting, just to get by. And, honestly, I feel like a wreck afterward – ashamed, weak, and unable to think straight. It's like my brain just shuts down. I'm reaching out because I can't navigate this on my own anymore. I need your guidance to understand what's happening and how to deal with it. It's taking a toll on my daily life, and I'm scared it's only getting worse. I truly appreciate any help you can offer. Sincerely, Sarthak Vatsa

In my childhood, I consumed a significant amount of red chili chips unknowingly. As I grew older, things took a turn for the worse when I moved away from home, living separately. During this time, I began to engage in drinking and smoking for a few years. Subsequently, health issues arose. I sought medical assistance, which helped control the problem for some time. However, one day, I faced a distressing situation when I was unable to use the restroom for an hour due to certain complications. This issue persisted for a few days, causing discomfort and pain. I explored various treatment options, including homeopathic and allopathic medicines. Following these experiences, I decided to make significant changes to my lifestyle. My daily routine now involves drinking a glass of lukewarm water upon waking up, after that five almonds, two walnuts, one fig,  one cup dalia a cup of apples, and a mixed salad. I have also incorporated two multigrain rotis and a glass of butter milk

This is regarding my daughter, she is in early 30's, myopic, he has been using contact lenses for 3 years now(monthly disposable ones),  her eye power has been the same for the past six years through regular check-up on yearly basis, her right eye power is -11.5 for spectacles, earlier the shop from where she bought contact lenses provided her -11 power contact lenses for 2 years but now she has been given -9 power contact lenses for which she's facing problems such as discomfort in vision, haziness upon blinking, dry eyes, on the first day itself she had a bad headache. I want to ask if the eye power is stable then why variation in the power of contact lenses that of earlier, even if I assume the brand is different would this differ drastically this much from -11 to -9, and should she discontinue with these lenses if the shop refuses to replace, it's already bought for a year, any suggestion or advice is appreciated, thank you.

Since the last one month I'm having pain in lower right abdomen that initially started in a very sharp way but gradually became dull ; it was a quite intermittent type of pain..it happened for a few days and also it continues till now but the intensity and frequency of the pain has reduced much but still there happens to be a discomfort in the lower right side and in the upper side sometimes around the belly button..did an USG and the reports said presence of a clear cyst in right ovary 54x32mm.. checked with my gynaecologist he suggested some medicine related to ovarian cyst and also along with that colospa 135 and cifran OZ... I found cifran is used for treating appendicitis..and also my symptoms are matching to it..idk if these are due to the cyst or appendicitis is also there.. though the USG reports didn't mention any comment regarding appendix..idk why...so I'm just scared if the doctor suggested me cifran then could it be appendicitis since I'm also having the symptoms as well..
