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 allMy mom had a heart attack in mid-March and had to get an angioplasty. Right after she came home from the hospital, she's been having constant diarrhea. She's really scared to eat anything because of it. She's dealing with both high blood pressure and diabetes. Do you have any idea what's causing this and how we can help stop the diarrhea?
In this case, it is important to consult with her doctor to rule out any other underlying causes. To help stop the loose motions, she can take a medication called Loperamide (Imodium) 2mg after each loose stool, up to a maximum of 16mg per day. Additionally, she can try taking a probiotic supplement like Saccharomyces boulardii to help restore the balance of good bacteria in her gut. It is also important for her to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids and to eat small, bland meals throughout the day. If the loose motions persist, her doctor may need to adjust her medications or investigate further

I just found out I have a gall bladder stone and I'm really worried is there any way to treat this without going through surgery? I'd prefer to avoid an operation if possible

I've just found out that I've got hemorrhoids and I'm only 17, so it's my first time dealing with them. Something odd has happenedwhen the hemorrhoids appeared, I noticed a bunch of pimples showing up around my butt and thighs. I usually get one or two pimples on my butt every few months, but now it's more like 20! Do you think this could be connected to the hemorrhoids somehow? It's kinda freaking me out and I'm not sure what to do. Any advice would be really appreciated.
