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 allBeen noticing that my stool has whole chunks of watermelon, tomatoes, and carrots in it for the past couple of days. Just got over a cold and was taking Cefixine as prescribed by my doctor. This all started happening after that. It's not like they're partially digested; they're whole pieces. Should I be worried about this? Never had anything like this before. What do you think could be going on?

I recently had an abdominal ultrasound that showed multiple small gallstones in my gallbladder, the largest being 4mm. I haven't had any pain or issues so far do I still need surgery? Also, the scan showed Grade 1 fatty liver how serious is that? Should I be worried?

I've been dealing with chronic gastritis since October 2013, but back then my liver tests were normal and my liver fibroscan didn't show any issues. Recently, my lab results showed total bilirubin at 1.46 with direct at 0.36 and indirect at 1.10, SGOT at 22.90, and SGPT at 28.30. Ive been taking Rekool10 for a few months as well as avas 10 since February 2015 for cholesterol and olsartan AM 205. Should I be worried about my liver or these test results? How is this connected to my ongoing gastritis problem? Just want to make sure I'm not missing anything here.
. You are taking dyslipedemic tablet, anti hypertensive ,gastritis has to be managed with changed lifestyle and diet.. You have to avoid fatty foods , restrict salt intake.. Have buttermilk, curd rice in each meal... Drink lot of water.. Moderate physical activity is required for any human.
