I recently finished a 12-week regimen of Nexium for GERD and acidity, and while I feel better, I've noticed increased flatulence and gas, especially after meals and in the early morning. My stools have also become muddy in texture. What could be causing these symptoms, and what can I do to address them?

I have been taking Digoxin to regulate my heart rate, but it has been causing gastric upset (heartburn, pain in the upper stomach). Is there another drug I could take for my heart that would not cause stomach pain? My pulse is usually in the 60s.

My sister has a herniated disk in her back (L4 L5) and recently took a high dose of prescribed medications including Soma 350mg, Percocet 5/325, and a small amount of weed for pain relief. She has since experienced vomiting and is somewhat unresponsive. What is the maximum safe dose of these medications combined, and could her symptoms be due to an overdose or just a negative reaction to the medication?

I was prescribed Enbrel for several years and have been off it for several years. Now I have developed a serious and undiagnosed shaking and balance problem. Could this be the result of my long involvement with Enbrel? I am a victim of FMF.

I have high cholesterol with a total of 292, LDL of 209, and HDL of 232. I was on Crestor but switched to Pravastatin due to muscle aches and back pain. Now, the lower back pain has returned. Should I continue taking Pravastatin, or should I ask to be switched to something else? Can the side effects go away if I stick it out? Is it safe to try to bring my cholesterol down naturally?
