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.

View allI've been diagnosed with GERD grade 3 reflux and I'm wondering if surgery is an option for me. I'm really concerned about post-op complications is there a way to avoid them or are there alternatives I should consider?
If your symptoms did not improve with lifestyle changes or drug therapy, you may be a candidate for surgery. Some patients prefer a surgical approach as an alternative to a lifetime of taking medications. The goal of surgery for reflux disease is to strengthen the anti-reflux barrier.

Hey, I was hoping you could help me out with something. My friend has been having some trouble ever since she started drinking milk again after a two-year break. Whenever she has milk on an empty stomach, like in the morning or before bed, she ends up with gas issues and sometimes an upset stomach. Its been going on for about six months now. Could it be the milk that's causing the problem, or do you think it might be something else? And are there any ways to deal with this or things she should be doing differently?
It is possible that she may have developed lactose intolerance. Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest lactose, the sugar found in milk and dairy products. Symptoms include gas, bloating, and stomach upset after consuming dairy products. To help alleviate these symptoms, your friend can try taking lactase enzyme supplements before consuming milk or dairy products. These supplements help break down lactose and may reduce the symptoms of lactose intolerance. Additionally, she can try consuming lactose-free milk or dairy products, such as lactose-free milk or almond milk. It is important for your friend to consult with a doctor or a gastroenterologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I'm a bit confused because the pharmacy gave me Sucrafil solution instead of the Sucrafil O gel solution that my doctor prescribed. Are they the same thing? Can I use the Sucrafil solution, or do I need to get the exact one my doctor mentioned? Just to give you a bit more context, here's what my prescription looks like: Rablet 20 mg before breakfast, Ganaton OD after breakfast, Rantac 150 after dinner, and the Sucrafil O gel solution before breakfast and dinner. Would love your advice on what to do next.
