Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone very carefully through your query. Your problem seems to be due to gastritis or gastroesophageal reflux. Our gastrointestinal tract has a forward propulsive movement (peristalsis) that moves the food material forward as it is digested, absorbed and finally expelled as feces. If somehow this movement gets hampered, food along with the digestive juices would stagnate, stomach acid will reflux into the food pipe and on the other hand the bowel habits would not be proper. The mentioned respiratory problems are likely to be a sequel of the reflux. The headache could be related to stress which could be contributory to the increased acid secretion.
In order to relieve yourself, you need to do the following:
* Avoid spicy food. Take small but frequent meals. Avoid long gaps between meals.
* Avoid alcohol intake (if it a part of your habit).
* Take Prilosec (omeprazole) once daily before breakfast.
* Take plenty of green leafy vegetables as well as other sources of dietary fibers. Take fiber supplements like isabgol/psyllium husk or senna. I would insist you to increase your dietary fibre intake.
* Regular morning walk and exercise to keep the bowel movements proper.
* If I had a patient like you I would perhaps have suggested Prodep 20 mg tablet once daily for at least 2 months (it may take time for the action to set in).
* Take curd or yogurt on daily basis. It contains beneficial bacteria and should help.
For the low back pain you need to get a X ray of lumbosacral spine (AP and lateral) done and based on the findings further suggestions can be given. A physical therapist would be able to guide you with the right exercises that would help you. Hot compress should help.
Hope that helps.
Let me know if I could help further. In case I have missed any issues, let me now and I would guide you accordingly.
Regards

Thank you Sir, hope that you have also read my blood report. My testosterone levels is in border line and C Reactive protien is 3.98, iron is 54.1 and total cholesterol is 205. I have been suggested by a doctor here in XXXXXXX to take pantodac d, uprise D3 as vitamin D is less. In case of pain doloneuron tablet. He hasn't given me anything for iron deficiency and for testosterone deficiency. I am feeling too much weak and lethargic for more than a week, can't even go to gym or do any kind of physical work out and also undergoing through a severe headache for almost 24 hours. My blood pressure is also fluctuating from 140/90 to 135/80 yesterday and today 130/90. Sir I am too much worried about any hidden disease. Gastric issue is something which is actually ruining my life. please advice what has to be taken to overcome this weakness and to gain lean muscle.

Thanks for writing back. Sorry for not being able to respond faster.
I have gone through the reports. Your testosterone level is normal and nothing to be concerned about. CRP can be raised due to some inflammatory or infective cause. Clinical evaluation and correlation would be needed to know why it is raised. The Vitamin D levels are normal at present and so you need not worry. You need to bring down the salt intake in order to control your blood pressure.
Worrying does not do any good. Worrying and stress in fact make you more vulnerable to diseases. It essentially is the cause of your gastric problems. So my suggestion to you would be to relax. Yoga and meditation would help. Prodep (fluoxetine) is also an antidepressant and so it has dual action. Taking it should help. You may feel free to discuss about it with your treating physician.

Sir, i shall be uploading photos of affeted area soon. I had visited Dr.Shantaram here in XXXXXXX and his prescriptions has been uploaded for your kind perusal.
Sir, i understand that my Testosterone levels are not as much as it should be.
I don't have much desire for sex. Like ED, also i am not having diabetes, then why there is low sexual desire.
i am feeling the effects in many areas of life. my energy levels have gone down, muscle strength has droped. also there is a substantial change of mood, sometimes low followed by fewer and weaker erections. I am really worried.
As i had already mentioned that i have been doing weight training and running , now i dont feel like hiting the gym or dont find that boost in running. Lacking Endurance.
I am typing the medicines that i am taking at present:
1) Morning 7 AM:- before break fast pantosec d
2) After Break Fast- Fish Oil from Optimum Nutrition
3) After Lunch- Multivitamin from Optimum Nutrition
4) After Dinner and before bed i take Remyelin D
Shall appreciate, if you could please guide me through the process and prescribe suitable medicine to increase my energy, stamina, over all wellness, boost Testosterone levels and overcome sleeplessness as it is effecting my day to day life. I cant sleep well through out the night and at least i have to wake up to pee.
As advises by you, i am practising Yoga and want to start other activities to reduce weight but need that extra thrust which is missing in order to achieve my goal. In this process , without being shy, i am putting my issues as i feel that you can help pinpoint the problem and guide me to the right treatment.
Thanks and Regards,

Suggestions given.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks again for writing back.
Interpersonal relational dynamics between you and your partner play a critical role. You need to introduce passion into your relationship. Prolonged foreplay is required. The resultant arousal will automatically ease out the biochemistry of the body and would be enough to improve your sexual life.
It is good to hear that you are trying to stick to a schedule including exercise and yoga. Keep it up. The extra thrust can only come from within. I am sure that you can generate it.

Thanks for writing back once again.
Yes, I have gone through the prescription.
1. If your sleep is disturbed, you need to reduce the stress and anxiety levels. Your questions reveal your anxious nature, something that you need to deal with. Without it the condition would not improve. Meditation should help but that is not all. The main thing is your approach toward life. Things going wrong is an essential part of life. Take things as they come. Do not keep dying in apprehension that things would go wrong. When things deviate from normal, it does not always mean that you need to worry about it or become panicky. Reducing anxiety provides a better grasp over things and therefore is better in bringing things back to normal. Same about sleep. Prodep is an effective anxiolytic and should help. Other sleep inducers may be taken but all are prescription medicines and you would need to get them written down by your doctor. Zolpidem is a very good medicine in this regard.
2. I would not suggest you to take any medicine for your male hormone issue. Lifestyle modification is the primary thing here. Stop consider reports being the real version of you. Bring out the real you and you would be fine.
