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'm feeling a bit worried about my recent bilirubin test results. The direct photometry reading was 0.36 mgdl when it should be between 0 and 0.30, and the indirect calculated bilirubin was at 1.6 mgdl, higher than the normal range of 0 to 0.9. My total photometry was 1.96 mgdl, outside the 0.30 to 1.20 range too. Could you help me understand what these numbers mean? Also, I'm wondering if these levels might affect my health in any way, particularly when it comes to having intercourse. Should I be concerned about anything specific?
Its not significant no need to worry maintain healthy lifestyle and consume healthy food,and its not related to intercourse.

I'm feeling something unusual with my stomach. My upper abdomen feels pretty hard, and it's not painful, but when I eat, it gets really tight and sticks out. What's weird is that my lower abdomen is soft and flat. What could be going on here?
gas, indigestion, food sensitivities, or digestive conditions like IBS. It's important to track your diet, monitor for patterns, and consider lifestyle adjustments such as eating smaller meals, staying hydrated, and possibly taking probiotics. If symptoms persist or worsen, seeing a healthcare provider will help determine the exact cause
