I'm having a really hard time breathing because of this gas and my chest feels really heavy. I'm pretty sure it's because I haven't been eating and sleeping well, and now I've got this terrible gastric problem. Can you help me figure out how to ease this?

My 64-year-old dad was just diagnosed with Crohn's disease and I read it's an autoimmune condition. What are the treatment options for autoimmune diseases like this? Is Crohn's curable or will he have it for life? Does he need surgery or is it managed with medication? Also, is it similar to cancer? We're really stressed and confused about what to expect.

Crohn's disease is a lifelong, chronic condition, not curable, but manageable through medication and potentially surgery. Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation, managing symptoms, and preventing complications, aiming for remission, not a cure. Medication is the primary treatment, but surgery may be necessary for complications like bowel obstructions or strictures. Crohn's is not similar to cancer, though complications like colon cancer may require monitoring

I'm having this pain on the right side of my chest whenever I swallow, even when I just drink water. It gets worse when I burp too. This all began about three weeks ago after a pill my ENT doctor recommended got stuck in my throat, and it almost made me vomit. Since then, the pain just hasn't gone away. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

It sounds like you may be experiencing esophageal irritation or inflammation due to the pill getting stuck in your throat. This can lead to chest pain, especially when swallowing. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Maalox to reduce stomach acid and relieve the pain. Additionally, you can take a proton pump inhibitor like omeprazole (Prilosec) to further reduce acid production in your stomach. Make sure to drink plenty of water and avoid spicy or acidic foods that can worsen your symptoms. If the pain persists or worsens, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and treatment.

My friend has been taking Colimex tablets for about seven months now, kind of using them like a drug. We're a bit worried because his SGPT level is 45. Could this be related to the Colimex, and what should he do about it?

Usually that's not related for your condition, this needs evaluation, visit Gastroenterologist for evaluation and appropriate treatment
