I'm experiencing a lot of burping and I seem to get short of breath. When I take an antacid and the gas goes away, my breathlessness seems to improve. Could GERD or the excessive burping be causing this breathlessness? It's a bit worrying, and I'd love to understand what's going on.

View allI'm taking ranitidine for acid reflux and my doctor mentioned I should take it twice a day, but she didn't specify how many hours apart. The capsules are 150 mg each. Could you tell me when exactly I should be taking them? I've tried looking it up online but didn't find a clear answer.
For optimal effectiveness, you should take the 150 mg ranitidine capsules about **12 hours apart**. This means taking one dose in the morning and another in the evening, ideally after meals or as directed by your doctor. If you're unsure, it's always a good idea to check back with your doctor for specific timing instructions.

I've just been told I have grade 1 fatty liver, and I'm getting this pain around the liver area sometimes. All my blood work is coming back normal, which is good, but I'm still worried. Any thoughts on what I should do about the fatty liver and the pain I'm feeling there?
Losing 3-5% of body weight through regular exercise and a healthy diet can effectively resolve grade 1 fatty liver in many cases. Limiting alcohol, reducing sugarrefined carbs, increasing fibre, drinking more water and managing conditions like diabetes and high cholesterol also support liver health.
