Get urself some antacid or fruits eg orange or even laxatives eg or ducolax tablet.
antacid for what?.....abeg....ahtacid got nothing to do in assisting ur BOWEL MOVEMENT....Laxatives are required for CHRONIC CONSTIPATION....eatin fruit is reliable n drink water....meet a GASTORENTEROLOGIST for any secondary GASTORINTESTINAL problem.

Dude...

Some antacids cause diarrhea. Milk of magnesia is a classic example that can be used for treatment of heartburn as well as constipation. The magnesium component of it specifically.

Nobody knows it all!!!

Go out of ur way.. Goan apply for a community pharmacy job, u'd be able to get hold of good practice if u're under a good pharmacist. I remember after my 200L first semester, I was at work, then sum1 came in to ask for a stool softener. GBOOM!!! I went blank, couldn't remember anything(tho we had done dem antacids, laxatives, electrolyte replenishers dem under pch). I went back home to check my note, little by little I started getting better. Pharmacy depends on how much experience u av bro, not on how u can read and pour.

Hey mate, i asked a Doctor on Tuesday exactly what you just posted. He laughed at me and asked me to stand up, and said "you are even taller than me"! He said abt the body thing, when am married, am gon' put on weight. i couldnt disagree.

But i think there's somethin wrong in the body system! Am the only skinny one in our family too!! I had a rapid growth but when i clocked 19, i stopped growing physically! Now am 22!

Have you taken any iron supplement lately? True, u might need more fibre in ur diet. Atm, u might need a stool softener(liquid paraffin(moko)) or laxative(say bisacodyl) or epsom salt. Walk into a pharmacy and relate this to the pharmacist in charge. If after this, symptoms persist, then pay ur doc a quick visit.. Cheers

lizzy95: (please i copied and pasted this from my orginal question)
Hello i'm elizabeth by name, a
friend of mine told me about
nairaland so i'm here to
discuss soime of my issues
with u guys
I've come to notice that many
things are going wrong with
me for a long tym now like: i'm
having alot of problem with
FOCUSING on task long enough
to get them done, Inability to
notice small
details And paying ATTENTION
(especially when in school, my
lecturer can say a million
words and i will just hold my
pen sterring @ him, @ d end
of d class i will berely jote half
a page whn odas hv written
abt 4_5 pgs),Being easily
distracted when i am doing
smth by noises,people, etc
irrational procrastination (alot
of people hate me 4 dis),
Disorganization and
forgetfulness.
inability to stay on one
topic at a time when leading
discusion or stay
focused while others
speak...hmmmm further more i
always move around restlessly
at times (i.e i just can seem to
be seated in a place 4 lon), i
think i'm also impatient
because i find myself
Constantly interrupting
others....the most painful part
is that no MATTER how i
prepare b4 reading (sleeping/
resting 4 hours) i cant study
for long because my head gets
weary and saturated on time
i.e if @ all i pay any attension 2
it.....please i really need you
help on this matter...because it
makes me cry when ever i
think abt it...[NB i knw i'm nt
dull, because i have a gud
understanding when ever my
attension is active BUT i 4get
most things on tym (e.g i can
explain a STATISTICS (math)
problem to a person that is
lost beside me but in d
evening i will go n meet d
person to explain 2 me again)
2. I dont hv any boy friend
now so am nt distracted by
any guy but rather by
ANYTHING)...please it took me
virtually d whole of today to
write and type this message.

Sounds a lot like ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) to me. But like Sal C said, you should see a Psychiatrist. Hope it helps

Emzybrown: My cousin suffered from partial stroke in 2008, then he was diagnose of hypertension with BP of 180/100,he is on anti-hypertensive therapy, but he complains to me that when ever he is tensed up,angry, talking in-front of large crowd, his pulse rate increases and he feels uncomfortable. Is this normal or what do you guys think, presently his BP is 130/80
Yeah, it's normal, those activities trigger the release of some "chemicals" that shoot the BP. The BP is ok for your dad, but if he's diabetic, it isn't Ok, it has to be lower than that. Tell your dad to take it easy on himself.

What are the symptoms you talked about? It might not be symptoms of HIV. You should also repeat the test to be certain. When next you have such experience don't wait for three months before getting tested, you should immediately go to the nearest Heart to Heart centre, get the test and possibly take prophylaxis.

FYI, abstinence remains the best option anyday .

Bros, if u made all this complains to ur doctor, I doubt ull need to type it here.. Id av replied earlier, buh for the doctors that'll call for my head if i did, buh ill do it anyways.. Okay, ur weight is a serious problem if u want to get back to health if you want to get back to health, it could be the reason for ur BP, ur LDL cholesterol level is prolly very high, preventing normal blood flow. Tiredness and chest tightness could be well related to angina pectoris, u don't want that to progress, trust me... My first point of call would be ur weight loss while still using ur amlodipine, b4 other treatment'll follow.. I could suggest orlistat or any lipid lowering drug plus a muscle relaxant b4 u see ur doc next... U need a weight loss therapy and adequate workout in a gym. U can pm me if there more to it.. Cheers
