I'm experiencing pain on the right side of my chest, specifically in the middle area, and it gets worse when I bend down, walk, or move forward. It's been happening since yesterday morning. Even sleeping is tough I feel it when I try to lie down, and it's really painful when I sneeze. I've been on medication for epigastric and antral ulcers for the past five days. Could this chest pain be related to that, or might it be something else? I'm really worried about what's going on.

I've been feeling really concerned lately and I'm hoping you can help. I don't quite understand the difference between erosions and ulcers. What can actually cause these issues? And most importantly, how can I treat or cure them?

Can I dissolve gallbladder stones with medication or do I need surgery to just remove the stones without taking out the whole gallbladder

While medications can sometimes help dissolve small, cholesterol-based gallstones, they are not a primary treatment and often require long-term use. Surgery, specifically laparoscopic cholecystectomy (removal of the gallbladder), is usually the preferred treatment for symptomatic gallstones, as it's effective and the gallbladder is not essential for life. Removing the gallbladder is a common and safe procedure, and you can live without it
