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 experiencing a burning sensation in my food pipe for a few days now. My doctor advised me to get an endoscopy, and it turns out I have an H. pylori infection and some erosions. The doctor prescribed Pantocid HP for 14 days, and I'm currently on the 7th day. I'm still having that burning feeling in my food pipe and stomach. I'm curious to know how long it usually takes for patients to feel relief. Also, should I be taking the Pantocid HP before or after meals?
The treatment for Helicobacter Pylori infection can take more than 14 days. The burning sensation in your throat is a symptom of that infection, which can be manageable through use of antacid tablets and gels, such as Mucaine, Gelusil, Pantocid, or Omez. There is no fixed time after which all patients will invariably feel relief. Some patients respond faster to medication, while some require longer time durations with recalibration of medication and lifestyle modification. Pantocid tablets are to be take 15-30 minutes before food.

I'm really worried about my wife's health. She's been dealing with these severe bleeding hemorrhoids for over three years now, but in the last week, the bleeding has been really bad. It's a tough situation because we can't opt for surgery right now with our baby being just four months old. We're planning to have the surgery in May when our older son has his school break. Until then, do you have any advice on how we can manage or stop the bleeding? Were really concerned about the amount of blood she's losing.
Yes you can opt for conservative management as well,visit surgeon for evaluation and appropriate management.

I've been dealing with acid reflux for the past three months, which seemed to come on out of nowhere. It's still not going away, and I'm taking omeprazole 10mg once or twice daily. I don't drink, I'm not overweight, and I don't smoke or anything like that. Lately, I've also been oversleeping, needing naps, getting some headaches, and feeling low. After some blood tests, my doctor gave me 1000mg of vitamin D and calcium. Could there be a common cause linking all these symptoms together?
-It's possible that a vitamin D deficiency could be contributing to both your symptoms of fatigue, headaches, and low mood, along with acid reflux. The medication and supplementation prescribed might help address this, but you may want to follow up with y
