Almost every day, people experience small health issues — acidity after lunch, tiredness that doesn’t make sense, stomach discomfort, constipation, random headaches.
Most of us simply brush them off thinking:
It’s nothing… maybe stress… maybe food… it’ll go away.
But not all recurring symptoms should be ignored. Some are your body’s way of saying:
Please pay attention.
Here’s a simple, conversation-style guide to the most common health doubts people have and when it’s the right time to meet a General Physician or Gastroenterologist at VSH.
You sleep well. You eat okay. But somehow, you always feel low on energy.
Common reasons:
• Low Vitamin D
• Anaemia
• Thyroid imbalance
• Chronic infections
• Stress or sleep disturbance
• Uncontrolled diabetes
• Poor gut absorption
When to consult:
If tiredness lasts more than 2–3 weeks, it’s time for a routine health check-up.
Acidity once in a while is normal.
Daily acidity is NOT.
This may be due to:
• GERD (acid reflux)
• Gastritis
• Irregular meal timings
• Helicobacter pylori infection
• Stress or alcohol
• Overuse of tea/coffee
When to consult:
If you need antacids every day, it’s a red flag for your GI system.
Bloating is one of the most ignored digestive issues.
Possible causes:
• IBS
• Food intolerance (milk, gluten, fried food)
• Acid reflux
• Constipation
• Gut imbalance
When to consult:
If bloating is frequent and makes you uncomfortable after meals.
If your gut reacts to spicy food, milk, outside food, or even stress, there may be an underlying condition like:
• IBS
• Gastritis
• Lactose intolerance
• Mild infections
• Gut inflammation
When to consult:
If stomach issues affect your daily life or cause anxiety around eating.
Occasional constipation is normal.
But long-term constipation can lead to:
• Anal fissures
• Piles
• Bloating
• Discomfort
• Nutrient malabsorption
When to consult:
If you need laxatives regularly or have discomfort while passing stool.
Yes — unexplained weight loss is never normal.
Could indicate:
• Thyroid issues
• Diabetes
• Gut malabsorption
• Liver issues
• Chronic infections
When to consult:
Immediately — this requires proper medical evaluation.
Common reasons:
• Low immunity
• Eating outside food
• Gut bacteria imbalance
• Contaminated water
• Poor digestion
When to consult:
If infections occur more than 2–3 times a year.
Sometimes they are harmless.
But when they become frequent, they may indicate:
• Acid reflux
• Gastritis
• Ulcers
• Gallbladder issues
• Pancreatic issues
When to consult:
If symptoms last more than a week or keep coming back.
This can signal:
• Gastritis
• Liver disease
• Stomach inflammation
• Digestive slowdown
When to consult:
If early satiety continues for a week or more.
Yes — because early diagnosis prevents future complications.
General Physicians at VSH help identify:
• Whether your symptom is minor
• Whether it needs tests
• Whether you need a GI specialist
• Whether it’s lifestyle-related
Often, simple diet/lifestyle changes solve the issue early.
At VSH Superspeciality Hospital, our General Medicine & Gastroenterology specialists help you understand your symptoms, find the real cause, and guide you toward long-term wellness.
You don’t need to wait for symptoms to become severe.
Even small doubts matter — and answering them early can protect your health.

Thanks to Doctor Razor for the Great miraculous work he did in my life with his herbal remedy. I have been living with this human Papilloma virus and I have shared with my partners my situation because they deserve to have a choice of whether they want to change being with me or not. I unfortunately did not have a choice in this matter leaving me vulnerable and now faced with this HPVirus for the rest of my life or until a cure was discovered. I refused to take the Medical drugs my PCD had told me to take, I surrendered to my fate, because I was careless. On Feb 13 2017, I came across Doc Razor's website https://herbalistrazorherb.wixsite.com/drrazorherbalhome. I browsed about the authenticity of This Doctor, I got to see several Testimonies regarding his works from people he had helped with his medicine. I reached out to him and told him my problems, after we spoke he promised to help me out. I started using his herbal medicine which he sent to me Via the Courier Delivery, and asked me to take the herbal medicine for 18 days. which i did. I am delighted to let you all know that I Got cured of HPV Virus, after the Medical Doctor had confirmed this with the test results, when I went for a medical check up after completing the Herbal Dosage Of 18 days. or Reach out to Doctor razor via email : [email protected] Telephone mobile Number +2349065420442
