I used to smoke but quit four months ago. Recently, I visited a pulmonologist because I was having issues with coughing and feeling like I had to take deep breaths. The doctor diagnosed me with bronchitis and GERD and gave me some medicine. However, whenever I stop taking the medicine, my symptoms come back. Now I'm hearing a water-like noise on the left side of my stomach just below my chest. What could be causing these symptoms, and should I be concerned?

The visible pulse in your stomach, noticeable when lying down, could be due to various factors, including aortic pulsation, abdominal aortic aneurysm, or increased abdominal pressure, but given your PCOD and stomach fat, it's more likely related to aortic pulsation, which is generally not a cause for concern;

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.
