What is meant by the term stress response?

Stress itself is caused when we have to deal with something we don't feel we are physically or emotionally able to handle and an example of a stressor could be a big test, or moving to a new city.

How this comes into play is when we have to deal with one of these stressors, we go through a stress response commonly known as fight or flight. You act differently depending on the stressor, but you analyize the situation and then your body and mind decide if you can stay and deal with the threat or if you should leave to avoid it. If your body decides you should choose the fight method you get a big burst of energy to fight the potential threat, if flight is chosen you will try to find the easiest and safest mode of escape.

Keep in mind that this is a very primal thing and is triggered by tons of stuff, but most of the time it is a false alarm; an example could be the test anxiety some people feel which is not an actual physical threat, but sometimes yur mind will treat it as one.

If a patient with symptoms of GERD states that he has been self-treating at home with over-the-counter (otc) ranitidine daily, the next appropriate treatment would be option(b) i.e, Proton pump inhibitor (omeprazole) for 12 weeks.

When stomach acid continually rushes back into the tube between your mouth and stomach, it causes gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) (esophagus). Your esophageal lining may become irritated by this backwash (acid reflux). Many people occasionally have acid reflux.

A digestive disorder is GERD. It is brought on by stomach acid refluxing up into your food pipe (esophagus). The most typical GERD symptom is heartburn. Being overweight, overeating, consuming caffeine and alcohol, as well as eating chocolate and spicy foods, are some lifestyle choices that may contribute to GERD.

Stomach acid is blocked and its production is decreased as a result of the Proton pump inhibitor. This allows for the healing of any damaged esophageal tissue. PPIs can aid in preventing heartburn, which frequently accompanies GERD.

Answer:

Purpura

Explanation:

These raised reddish purple spots are most likely to be caused by a little pooling of blood under the skin and this condition is termed as Senile Purpura. These spots often fade away as the child ages.

There are no serious complication related to this that may need higher medical attention but some rare serious cases have been seen when the patient also has blood clotting disorder.
