Question 1

I've been dealing with indigestion because of gallstones, with the biggest one measuring 7.5mm. A lot of people are telling me to get my gallbladder removed surgically, but I'm not sure about that. Some are suggesting Ayurveda instead. Is there any way to treat gallstones properly with medications alone, without needing surgery?

Accepted Answer

Patient is advised for laparoscopic cholecystectomy or open cholecystectomy procedure.

Question 2

Question 3

I've been having chest pain every day and even though my ECG was normal and I've done HRCT, chest ultrasound, and endoscopy, everything came back normal. But the pain and even a pain in my left hand just wont go away, and its not in a fixed spot. Sometimes I get shortness of breath too. A bunch of doctors have told me it might be GERD. Could you help me figure out what's going on and how to get better?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease). To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking a proton pump inhibitor like Esomeprazole (brand name: Nexium) 40mg once daily before breakfast for at least 4-8 weeks. Additionally, you can take antacids like Ranitidine (brand name: Zantac) 150mg twice daily before meals and at bedtime for quick relief of symptoms. It's also important to avoid trigger foods like spicy, fatty, or acidic foods, and to eat smaller, more frequent meals. If your symptoms persist, you may need further evaluation by a gastroenterologist.

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?

Solution is with you maintain healthy lifestyle and consume balanced diet,when you feel heavy you can take antacid for instant relief
