I was just diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux disease last week and I'm dealing with this burning pain on the left side of my back around the breastbone and I'm also having shortness of breath. The doctor said it's GERD and I'm on medication, which is helping, but I'm still facing this breathing issue. Every 10 minutes or so, I feel like I need to take a deep breath or else there's this pressure and tightness in my chest. My blood tests came back normal with an HB of 13. Why do I feel like taking a deep breath every 10 minutes? Could you suggest any breathing exercises or regular exercises that might help with this?

View allI've been dealing with this issue where I'm producing way too much saliva every day, and it's been going on for years. It's like I constantly need to spit, and if I try to swallow it, I start feeling nauseous. I also get this urge to burp a lot. I work out regularly and stay away from smoking and drinking. It's really getting on my nerves having to spit all the time. Any idea what might be causing this or how to make it stop?
Excessive salivation, along with frequent burping and nausea, can be frustrating, but it's important to identify the underlying cause in order to find the right treatment. Start by considering common causes such as GERD, oral health issues, or stressanxiety. You might also want to speak to a healthcare professional, such as a gastroenterologist or ENT specialist, to help pinpoint the cause and explore appropriate treatment options.

The patient has been on TB medication for a month and has been vomiting continuously for the past two days after eating or drinking anything. Today, she took her TB medicine twice and vomited it up both times almost immediately. Should we skip today's TB dose? And do you have any advice on how to handle the vomiting? Please help.
Yes. Vomiting may be because of AKT induced hepatitis. For that liver function test to be checked and treatment should be modified accordingly

I'm really worried about this breathing problem I've been having for the past three months. Ive done a lung X-ray, which came out normal, and an ultrasound that showed I have PCOD. But now, for the last 10 days, I've also been dealing with acid reflux. I'm taking Pantocid tablets and sometimes Digene syrup, but the breathing issue is still there. I recently had an endoscopy and they found GERD and some ulcers in my food pipe. Could you suggest if there's any specific test I should consider to find out why I'm struggling so much with my breathing? Like maybe a lung test or anything else I should look into?
