Health Q&A
Bloating after lunch time
I often experience pain in my abdomen and legs in the evening due to gas, even after eating a light meal. This has been happening frequently for the last couple of months.
Breathing problem
Dear Doctor, I would like to seek your advice regarding my 80-year-old father. In 2025, he was admitted to the same hospital with heavy breathing and discomfort in his lower chest and upper abdomen. He was diagnosed with acute gastritis, and we were told that his breathing difficulty could be related to the gastric problem. In 2026, he was admitted again with almost identical symptoms, including heavy breathing and chest discomfort, but without pain or cramps in his chest, jaw or arm. This time, he was diagnosed with acute left ventricular failure (LVF). We are confused as to why similar symptoms led to different diagnoses on these two occasions. He continues to experience these episodes, particularly after lunch and his afternoon sleep. Could you please advise whether these recurring symptoms could be related to gastritis or acid reflux, or a cardiac condition ?
Deworming medication
So I play with dogs cows etc while I am doing my morning walk and recently I was prescribed deworming medication and I was feeling quite an easy and had some digestion problems but now after the deworming I feel better and also while being I have observed some small worm like organisms three times very small thread like but wiggling which of stopped after the medication so my question is whether I should take deworming medication as a routine part I remember the doctor mentioning every 6 months but since I am interacting with animals everyday what is your take on the duration should I be taking it monthly is it harmful?
Breathlessness and restlessness
My 80-year-old father has recurrent episodes of rapid breathing and restlessness, mainly in the evening after lunch and afternoon sleep. He was hospitalized previously with severe breathlessness, diagnosed with acute LVF, and underwent coronary angiography. No angioplasty or repeat bypass was advised. He had bypass surgery 20 years ago. His oxygen saturation remained 98–99% during hospitalization. He also has chronic acidity, constipation, and a history of gastritis. Dytor 10 mg, previously prescribed SOS, was restarted recently as symptoms returned. Could these episodes be cardiac, pulmonary, or gastrointestinal in origin? Why does he remain relatively normal during the first half of the day? What further tests, treatment, or medication adjustments are recommended?
