I'm experiencing some weird stuff lately and I'm a bit worried. I have this strange pain around my left breast and the left side of my chest, and it's been quite constant. I've also been dealing with a lot of post-nasal drip and burping, plus this odd flapping sensation on the left side of my abdomen. Do you have any idea what could be going on?

I have a 12.5 mm gallstone and fatty liver do I need surgery right away or are there other options I can try first?

A 12.5 mm gallstone and fatty liver may or may not require immediate surgery. The need for surgery depends on whether the gallstone is causing symptoms, and the severity of the fatty liver. If the gallstone is causing symptoms like abdominal pain, nausea, or digestive issues, surgery might be recommended. The fatty liver should also be evaluated, as its severity influences the surgical risk

I've been really constipated and my USG showed gaseous distension in the stomach are there any treatments besides medicines to get rid of the gas? Like, could surgery or something else help? It's pretty urgent and I'm not sure what to do

For gaseous distension and constipation, lifestyle changes like increasing fiber intake, hydration, and regular exercise can help. Surgery is rarely needed unless there‚Äôs a structural issue causing the gas retention.

I've been dealing with GERD and gas issues for 10 years now and my doctor suggested nissen fundoplication surgery would this surgery actually help me or are there other options I should consider first

Nissen fundoplication can be effective for GERD resistant to meds. Discuss surgical risks, especially gas-bloat syndrome. If meds work well, surgery isn‚Äôt urgent.
