View allI've been dealing with GERD and a hiatal hernia for 20 years and take daily meds should I consider surgery at this point? The constant meds are getting exhausting and I'm worried about long-term effects
Yes, after 20 years of daily medication for GERD and a hiatal hernia, it's reasonable to consider surgery, especially if you're concerned about long-term medication effects and experiencing persistent or bothersome symptoms. Surgery, such as fundoplication, can effectively address the underlying issues of GERD and hiatal hernia, potentially reducing or eliminating the need for daily medication

Generally, eyebrow threading and upper lip threading are safe during pregnancy. However, to minimize risks: 1. Ensure the threading area is clean and sanitized. 2. Use a new, sterile thread. 3. Avoid excessive pulling or tugging. 4. Consider doing a patch test before threading.

I'm dealing with GERD issues and sometimes it feels like my breath gets stuck. To keep an eye on things, I've started using a pulse oximeter daily to check my oxygen level. But here's the thing, I'm getting some really weird readings. It starts at 98 or 99, but then after 20 to 30 seconds, it suddenly drops to numbers like 79, 89, or even 60, before going back up to 98 or 94. These abnormal readings only last for about 3 to 4 seconds. Other than this sensation like somethings stuck, I'm generally active and dont have other major issues. Should I be concerned about these fluctuating numbers, or is this normal with a pulse oximeter? What's going on?
Spirometry and pulmonary function tests is advised to the patient.
