Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am disturbed by persistent butterflies in my stomach, which keeps me awake at night. I often worry about potential heart failure, but I cannot pinpoint any specific symptoms. Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your query and can understand your concern.

There is no need to worry. Could you share your health symptoms, blood pressure, and pulse rate details? Do you have abdominal ultrasound and ECG (echocardiogram) reports? Please reply with details for accurate advice.

In the meantime, it appears to be related to gastric issues. I suggest to follow these recommendations for seven days. Consult your doctor and take the medicines.

  1. Capsule Pan D, consisting of 40 mg of Pantoprazole and 30 mg of Domperidone, I suggest you take one on an empty stomach.

  2. Oral suspension of Ulgel A (Magaldrate 540 mg, Simethicone 50 mg, Oxetacaine 10 mg): I suggest you take 10 ml three times a day.

  3. Tab Macfresh 0.25 (Etizolam 0.25mg), I suggest taking one at night.

I hope this helps.

Revert in case of other queries.

Thank you

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for your reply.

My blood pressure ranges from 115 to 135 mmHg, and my diastolic pressure ranges from 72 to 78 mmHg. My heart rate typically stays between 70 to 80 beats per minute. These readings are based on my checkups over the past month. Occasionally, my blood pressure may register higher when I am extremely tired initially and then decrease. However, the diastolic pressure consistently stays between 72 and 78 mmHg.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

Your blood pressure, pulse, and ECG (echocardiogram) results are all normal (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity). The abdominal sensations resembling butterflies might be due to gas or indigestion, possibly linked to inadequate exercise, insufficient sleep, or irregular meal timings. Avoid relying solely on medication.

I suggest the following treatment plan:

  1. Wake up early for regular morning walks until you break a good sweat.

  2. Practice yoga, pranayama, and meditation regularly.

  3. Increase your intake of salads and fruits.

  4. Temporarily avoid oily, spicy, and non-vegetarian foods.

I suggest you adhere to the prescribed medications for the next seven days. Take one capsule Pan D (Pantoprazole 40 mg and Domperidone 30 mg) on an empty stomach, consume 10 ml of syrup Raciraft (Alginic acid 250mg per 5ml, Calcium carbonate 80 mg per 5 ml, and Sodium bicarbonate 133.5 mg per 5 ml) three times a day, ingest one tab Macfresh 0.25 (Etizolam 0.25 mg) at night, and take one tablet Digipen (Protease 3600.0 Hut, Amylase 1200.0 Skb, Lipase 450.0 Fip, Cellulose 300.0 Cmc U, Alpha galactosidase 50.0 Gal U, and Hemicellulose 600.0 Hcu) twice a day after meals. Consult your doctor and take the medicines.

If you experience any changes or concerns during this period, please report them in your follow-up after three days. Let me know about your progress after three days. If needed, we may recommend further investigations like ultrasound, LFT (liver function test), CBC (complete blood count), urine routine test, thyroid, etc.

I hope this helps.

Please revert back.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
