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 really worried because I've been dealing with indigestion for a week now. Everything I eat just comes back up with some sour water, and on top of that, I'm experiencing chest and shoulder pains, feeling lightheaded and dizzy, plus there's this burning feeling in my stomach. Is all this just due to acidity, or could it be something more serious like a heart attack? I'm not sure what to think and would appreciate any advice.
Based on your symptoms, it is important to rule out any serious conditions such as a heart attack. However, the symptoms you are describing, including indigestion, sour water regurgitation, chest pain, shoulder pain, light-headedness, dizziness, and burning sensation in the stomach, are more commonly associated with acidity or acid reflux. To help with your symptoms, you can try taking an over-the-counter antacid like Tums or Rolaids to help neutralize the stomach acid. Additionally, you can take a proton pump inhibitor like Prilosec or Nexium to reduce the production of stomach acid. It is important to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.

I'm having loose motions and sour burps today, and I remember the same thing happened on Wednesday night, but I also had vomiting then. I thought it was just indigestion at the time, but since it's happening again, I'm a bit worried. Could this be some kind of stomach infection?
GIC (Glass Ionomer Cement) fillings can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years on the biting surface of molars. Their durability depends on factors such as: - Size and location of the filling - Oral hygiene and maintenance - Chewing habits and forces Given the cost of each filling (Rs. 500), it's essential to maintain good oral hygiene and attend regular dental check-ups to extend the lifespan of your GIC fillings.

I'm having some concerns and need advice. Yesterday morning, I took an ascazin tab and since then I've been feeling bloated or like my belly is full even without eating. Could it be the ascazin tab causing this, or maybe it's related to the MMR vaccine? Later in the evening on the same day, I also started experiencing shortness of breath and feeling lightheaded. I'm really worried because I have no fever, cough, or cold. Can you help figure out what's going on with my stomach?
