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?

View allMy wife has external hemorrhoids and wants to manage them through diet to avoid surgery for now. Can you suggest foods that help control and reduce the problem? Also, what foods should she avoid?
Your doctor may recommend that you eat more foods that are high in fiber. Eating foods that are high in fiber can make stools softer and easier to pass and can help treat and prevent hemorrhoids. Drinking water and other liquids, such as fruit juices and clear soups, can help the fiber in your diet work better.

I often find myself vomiting bile when I wake up if I haven't slept for at least six hours. I've also noticed my appetite isn't what it used to be. It's starting to worry me a bit. Could you shed some light on what's going on and how I might address this?
Vomiting bile after waking up, especially with less than 6 hours of sleep, and experiencing low appetite, may indicate an underlying issue such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acid reflux, or a digestive disorder; consider consulting a gastroenterologist
