I'm on medication for stomach tuberculosis and it's been nine months so far. I've heard that for stomach TB, you need to take the meds for at least a year to avoid the risk of MDR. Is that actually true?

I'm having some issues with my stomach. It's been feeling upset, and I'm getting these sour burps. Plus, my stomach just feels really full, like nothing's moving right. I'm not sure if I should take any medicine for it, or if eating something right now would help or make it worse. Could you advise on what I should do?

I've been having these concerning symptoms lately and I'm not sure what's going on. I was sleeping and suddenly woke up feeling dizzy, short of breath, and with some gas problems that caused a prickling pain in my chest. After that, I couldn't sleep and my body feels really weak, and the dizziness hasn't gone away. I looked it up on Google and came across GERD and acid reflux, which have similar symptoms. Could you help me figure out what this might be?
