Brief Answer:
symptoms are due to your anxiety.

Detailed Answer:
Hello again XXXX
I apologize for the delay in answering you.

I am glad that you feel better and that your stomach symptoms have subsided.

Your anxiety is presenting now with other symptoms.
Fast heartbeat ,chest pain are the most common symptoms of anxiety.You are too young to have high blood pressure.
If you are too anxious ,your heart will beat faster and your blood pressure will be high but all this is due to anxiety.Having high blood pressure means that your blood pressure is high all the time ,not only when you have anxiety attacks.
Measure your blood pressure when you are relaxed .If blood pressure is normal you have nothing to worry about.

If your symptoms of fast heartbeat and chest pain were due to heart disease ,you would experience these symptoms most of the time and not only when you are anxious.

I suggest to relax and stop thinking about your health.
You may consider consulting a specialist and maybe start a treatment to control your anxiety.
You should stop thinking that you are sick .You are too young to have a serious disease.

Kind Regards,
Dr.Rovena

Brief Answer:
treatment for acid reflux.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX

The fact that your blood pressure is normal and only increases sometimes it indicates that it is due to anxiety.You don't have high blood pressure.

Related with your muscle pain ,yes anxiety can cause it or it might be related with poor sleep habits ,not eating too well or not exercising regularly.
Everyone feels muscle pains time after time ,it is very common and you don't have to worry about it .

Your doctor has prescribed these medications to treat your reflux symptoms.
If you continue having stomach problems (stomach pain ,gas, bloated ,sore throat ) you should take this medication .
If you are feeling well and don't have stomach issues ,you don't need to take the treatment.
You can decide to wait some time without medication to see what happen and if you start having symptoms again ,start this treatment.


Take care,
Dr.Rovena

Brief Answer:
need not worry

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

These noises from stomach and gas before lunch are normal ,they happen because your stomach is empty and you can feel more the contractions of your stomach.

You can eat small frequent meals so your stomach won't be totally empty at lunch.
-Eat slow and don't speak while eating .This will decrease the amount of air that you ingest with food.
-Avoid or restrict foods that create gas in your stomach like carbonated drinks, sugar , foods that are rich in fiber ,diary and some vegetables like broccoli, beans and cauliflower.
-Drink plenty of water.

I wish you all the best.

Brief Answer:
Don't need to take medication for cold.

Detailed Answer:
Hello again dear XXXX

all your questions.

You don't need to take any medicine for the cold that you are having.It is a viral infection that will do its course. It is a self limiting condition that don't need specific treatment.
All you can do is rest a lot, eat healthy and drink fluids to avoid dehydration.
You also can use Ibuprofen if you will have fever.
Usually these symptoms may last up to 1-2 weeks.

Continue taking these medication at least for some more days and see how you will feel.
If these days your stomach symptoms will get worse ,you should consult again your doctor and he may modify the treatment.

The fact that you are having flu these days might make your stomach symptoms worse so continue the mediation at least for 1 week and see if you will feel better.

Hope it helps.
Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care.

Brief Answer:
seems just rash due to shower.

Detailed Answer:
Hi there XXXX
I am sorry for the delay.

I saw carefully the pictures that you send to me.It seems to be just a skin rash that might be due to hot water or a reaction to the shampoo.
The fact that it appeared after the shower ,make other causes less possible.
It doesn't seem of concern.It will go away in a few hours.
If it persist for days and it is itchy ,then we can talk again about the possibilities.

Regarding to the stomach symptoms ,your perception might be right at a certain point.
Probably hard exercising might have done the symptoms worse but they didn't cause acid reflux.
The medications that you took (antibiotics) ,anxiety ,stress might have done these symptoms worse .
The medication that you are taking now (Domperidone and Pantoprazole) are drugs used to treat acid reflux so they won't make your symptoms worse.

I suggest to continue the medications as long as your doctor prescribed them .
Meanwhile try to manage your anxiety ,try to relax and don't think about your health.
Eat healthy and avoid all the foods that can trigger acid reflux.Stay well hydrated (drink plenty of water).
Exercising (not hard exercise but just walking ) every day might make you feel better physically and emotionally .

The aim in treating your stomach problems is to manage your anxiety .As I have told you earlier you can try some things like doing things that your like ,like reading ,listening music, going out ,doing Yoga or other relaxation techniques.

Kind Regards,
Dr.Rovena

Hello!

Yes, it is unnoticeable in this picture.

The fact that this rush gradually disappeared ,indicates that it was just a rash due to shower.Probably hot water or shampoo triggered that.
You have nothing to worry about.
