Suggest treatment for low hemoglobin and pressure in chest
Patient: My mother has developed low hemoglobin, pressure in upper chest and abd,Loss of appetite, 9 lb weight loss (3 months),  acidosis smelling breath or "rotten tooth" smelling breath and sudden orange/yellow color outlining all of her teeth. Cardiac concerns have been ruled out. ??? Peptic/bleeding ulcers??? Any thoughts??? Doctor: Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your concern. Yes, possibility of slowly bleeding peptic ulcer is more in your mother's case. Bleeding from peptic ulcer is common cause for anaemia (low hemoglobin). She is also having pressure in chest and abdomen, so possibility of hyperacidity and ulcer is more. So better to consult gastroenterologist and get done upper GI (gastrointestinal) scopy for the diagnosis of this. If ulcer is there than endoscopic treatment can be done. Ask her today avoid stress and tension. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. Take proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic drugs. Don't worry, with all these, she well definitely improve. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.
