I had gastric bypass surgery 6 weeks ago and have been experiencing severe nausea from the time I wake up to the time I go to bed. Even small sips of liquids or bites of food make me feel like I'm going to throw up. I'm also constantly constipated, with painful cramps and sharp shooting pains. My surgeon has me on Zofran, phenergan, reglan, a scopalimine patch, Senekot, dulcolax, and a stool softener. I've added miralax to the mix, but it hasn't helped. Could something be wrong due to the surgery? How many days can I go without a bowel movement, and should I be worried?

I have a very bad cold with symptoms including severe congestion causing a tight head and headache, sore throat from constant coughing, slight fever, chills, and a cough. I also have a slight fever and chills. What medication can I take for these symptoms, and can I get cough syrup with codeine?

I am a 37-year-old male experiencing a buzzing or flip-flop sensation in the center of my upper chest, which lasts for a few seconds and occurs sporadically. It often happens after drinking carbonated beverages and sometimes seems to be triggered by heavy meals or excessive alcohol consumption. I have had multiple EKGs that showed no abnormalities. Could this be atrial fibrillation (AFIB) or heart palpitations, and could it be related to stomach issues?

I'm having unexpected diarrhea that lasted 24 hours straight and has returned after taking Imodium. The diarrhea is now coming in random bouts almost every hour. I'm very hungry, slightly bloated, and a bit fatigued, but otherwise feel fine. I haven't traveled recently, haven't been in contact with anyone with similar symptoms, and have no other medical problems or medications besides Imodium. Could this be related to my period starting soon, or is it something else?
