Nutcracker Syndrome
Each kidney typically has one vein that carries blood filtered by the kidney into the circulatory system. These are called the renal veins. Usually there’s one on the right and one on the left. However, there can be variations. In nutcracker syndrome, symptoms are most often caused when the left renal vein coming from the left kidney becomes compressed and blood can’t flow normally through it. Instead, blood flows backwards into other veins and causes them to swell.

Peptic Ulcers
Peptic ulcer disease occurs when open sores, or ulcers, form in the stomach or first part of the small intestine. Many cases of peptic ulcer disease develop because a bacterial infection eats away the protective lining of the digestive system. People who frequently take pain relievers are more likely to develop ulcers.
