Brief Answer:
Take medications as advised
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
You seem to be having constipation and stomach fullness.
This can happen in diabetes, due to drugs like advil.
You should start taking proton pump inhibitors with domperidone like sompraz D, pantoprazole D.
Diet rich in fibers may be helpful.
Avoid taking too much advil.
Heart rate is OK but if palpitations are more you need to get an ecg before increasing drugs.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Do get back to me for further queries.
