Can someone tell me what this is?

Q: I’m a 21 year old slightly overweight but healthy male. I had been drinking a lot prior to this situation but just wine every night or almost every night. On June 6th I tried gin for the first time and I’ve had other hard liquors before. I drank it on an empty stomach mixed with lemon juice and ginger ale (I don’t usually mix, was experimenting). I drank half the bottle and started feeling the need to take deep breaths so I stopped.In the morning I had the same sensation, and a cough/irritation below my throat. I had every test done including EKG/Gallbladder & Liver scan/endoscopy/barium swallow/blood tests/allergies etc. all were negative aside from the endoscopy finding a 3-4 cm sliding hiatal hernia, which was so small it didn’t show on the barium swallow and doesn’t coincide w/ my symptoms since they happened instantly.I was put on all types of antacids and PPI’s because they thought it was acid reflux. I took Zantac/PepcidAC/Protonix/Zegerid/Aciphex etc. nothing helped. After trying those plus antibiotics and ativan because they thought it was psychological, I started burping a lot. I burp all the time now, especially when I sit up or after I eat(not when I lay down at all).I don’t burp up food, but I get an indigestion feeling like an “mmmph” as if I’ve eaten too much, even on an empty stomach. My tongue is coated white/yellow. My breath is worse in the morning, and I still have a cough/irritation between my collar bones that gets worse when I take a deep breath (feels air related, not swallow related).I don’t regurgitate food nor do I regurgitate acid. I don’t get any heartburn and none of the antacid pills have helped. The endoscopy showed no inflammation or irritation. No one knows what it is but all I know is it started to happen after I drank the gin. I haven’t drank any alcohol and I’m eating a good diet, small meals, all the recommendations for stomach issues.I’m getting acupuncture and treatment through a naturopath, they have some good ideas, and are trying, but I have not been “cured” yet. I am wondering if any of you could give me some info on how gin could cause this and what it could be? I have a very very hearty stomach, I collect hot sauces and used to eat habanero sauce and very very large meals. I have a very high alcohol tolerance and never had this problem before, even after copious amounts, it’s so strange.All I can think of is the day that I drank the gin, I had Japanese food for lunch (Sushi and teriaki beef) along with some spicy beef jerky (the kind they keep in the plastic vats). I’ve had it before so I’m not sure if perhaps I contracted some stomach bug from the food and the gin aggravated it? I have no idea, but this has lasted 2 months and I’m freaking out.Here are my stats taken by the naturopath:Ph of 5.8 (acidic)A pulse of 91 beats per minuteGood blood pressure and zinc levelsLow overall cholesterol, 125High triglycerides (TG’s) 137Very low good cholesterol (HDL) 36Very low calcium 150Low bad cholesterol (LDL) which is a good thing, 61A bit high in the glucose at 98 when the range is 80-95 and found my TC : HDL to be 3.4Body fat percentage 24.7%Only serious answers please, and thank you for reading.I saw a pulmonologist who did a spirometer and flow meter test for the lungs, it came out fine. My main symptom is an irritation below my neck near the collar bones, it’s constant. The shortness of breath has lessened since that day.I had a lot of stress right before this happened, transmission had problems, had to reformat computer, etc. I have college as well and that is also a bit stressful but I don’t feel “stressed” right now, I feel calm. Is it possible to still be stressed even though you feel fine? I also notice my leg shakes a lot (restless leg) since this started.I’m usually not anxious or hypochondriac-like but these sensations are new to me and very unsettling.I also want to add that ever since this started, my bowel movements have been strange. They drop out in strange pieces that fall to the bottom of the toilet and never float. They have a “scattered” “dirt-like” quality with this powdery/murky stuff coming out of them floating all around, it looks like tiny little dots. When I flush, it all billows up in a huge cloud as if flushing flour that has sat on the bottom of the toilet bowl.This can’t just be “GERD”, this makes no sense. Something is in my stomach?

A: I did not see any results for lung studies. If you are having shortness of breath, your oxygen level and scan of your lungs as well as lung studies might not be a bad idea. Psychologically are you anxious about something, how is college going, are you breaking up with a girlfriend, is your family going through changes?The white tongue might be thrush which can happen after a good amount of antibiotic regimen.FYI: Fasting blood Glucose level is 70-110Edit: I am going for stress, if I was to make an educated guess. It could be something physical that is reacting to the stress. I say, see a therapist, if they deem it necessary consider seeing your doctor to start a medication regimine.At least rule it out before considering all your systems are malfuntioning right now.Pellet StoolPellet stool is stool that comes out in small, round balls. In traditional Chinese medicine, pellet stool is caused by a condition known as liver qi stagnation. Liver qi stagnation can be brought on by stress. Lack of exercise can worsen the problem. Find out more about the causes of pellet stool.Stool That Sinks QuicklyRapidly sinking stool can indicate that a person isn’t eating enough fiber-rich foods, such as vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, or drinking enough water. This stool is often dark because they have been sitting in the intestines for a prolonged time. Learn 5 tips to boost your water intake.

35 weeks pregnant. High blood pressure question?

Q: My blood pressure has consistently been high in my 3rd trimester. My doctor has had me take 3 24 hour urine analysis for preeclampsia. Each time it has gone up slightly but still been in the normal range. He started having me do the non stress tests 2x a week. At my first NST appt my blood pressure was high so they kept me in the hospital and my doctor ended up putting me on 100MG of Labetalol 2x a day. He said to take them with a meal. Today I took my morning one about 2 hours after I ate and I have been really light headed and shaky ever since. I tried to eat a little snack when I started to get shaky but it hasnt helped yet. I have been on the Labetalol for about 3 weeks now and I have not felt like this before. I have called the Dr but I am waiting for him to call me back. Is the light headedness and feeling shaky related to having high blood pressure or due to Labetalol or is something else wrong?

A: I have really high blood pressure and i am 36 weeks. i have never been shaky or light headed when my blood pressure was high. i would read the insert for the medicine to see what the side effects might be to see if there is anything you should be worried about, but also consult with your doctor about it. im in your same boat babe, i feel your pain. good luck!!

How far along where you when your morning sickness subsided?

Q: Hi Ladies! I am currently 9 weeks and 1 day with baby number 2! (pregnancy # 3) With my son (who is now 5) I was so lucky, absolutely NO morning sickness and all I had to suffer through in the first 3-4 months was frequent urination and dizzyness, tired, wanting to sleep more but not too fatigued, I felt energetic when I got good sleep. With my second pregnancy, pretty much the same although I unfortunately had a miscarriage at 11 weeks. My husband and I waited a few years to get pregnant again and shortly after I found out (at 5 weeks) I began to feel so terrible it still shocks me how bad I feel every day! Don’t get me wrong, I am so happy to be pregnant (the doctors weren’t sure if I’d be able to) and I know that these signs are a good indication of a healthy pregnancy, so that’s assuring at least! But seriously girls, I have NO energy, I feel so week I feel shaky when I force myself to do things sometimes (othertimes I am ok but still not very productive) I feel like so grouchy and moody that I am depressed. Totally not me normally and I keep reminding myself that it is just the hormones, push through. The nausea lasts all day long and I can’t stand ANY smells or even wear perfume, perfumed soaps etc. Even my favorite bath and body works lotion. I can’t throw up though, sometimes wish I could! I have been eating really healthy, nothing sounds good so I force myself to eat balanced meals, lots of fruit veggies and lean meat, milk. I’ve been bloated as all get out, I never had ANY of this with my son, I guess I was so lucky back then lol. Already been tested for anemia and everything else so I know it’s just the normal pregnancy. The only thing they had to put me on high blood pressure pills already for pregnancy induced hypertension. (I DID have that with my son as well, but towards the end before delivery) I never have high blood pressure when not pregnant. I guess my question for you girls is when did you start feeling better? I know it’s after the first trimester textbook wise but give me some hope here LOL. Sorry for being so long winded, your a trooper if you read all of that, hope I made sense these hormones have turned my brain into mush I tell ya!Thanks for your feedback. 🙂

A: I understand what you mean. With my daughter, I was fine, no morning sickness, no nausea, no nothing, with this one, I was feeling nauseous every day, didn’t throw up everyday but always felt like I had to, it went away at 12 weeks, but I still have episodes of nausea and throwing up, but at the most it lasts a day, and ive only had it happen to me 3 times since my 12 week mark, and I’ll be 19 weeks tomorrow
