I'm really worried about my wife. She's been feeling shortness of breath, but her ECG and chest X-ray came back normal. She has this habit of eating sand, could this be causing her breathing issues? It's really concerning meshould we be looking into this more?

I'm taking Pantocid DSR every morning on an empty stomach, but my chest starts burning whenever I eat something. Sometimes I even get severe pain in my chest and back because of gas, and I feel like I might vomit. Eno helps a bit, but it's not a long-term fix. What do you recommend I do?

You can start by making some diet changes like 1. Avoid oily and spicy foods. 2. Avoid foods that are known to cause the problem to you. 3. Instead of having 3 huge meals a day, have 5 smaller meals. 4. Drink one glass of water every hour or so even if you aren't thirsty. 5. Let there be at least 2 hours gap between dinner and sleep. 6. Walking for about 20 minutes everyday.

I'm dealing with gallstones and some gastric issues, and I've been taking Ursocol 300mg twice a day. I'm wondering if there might be any side effects if I continue this for an extended period, like 6 months to a year. Any insights?

I've been feeling something really weird on the left side, just below my ribs for the past three months. It's like a mix of pain, ticklish sensations, and bubbling. At one point, I thought maybe I'd torn a muscle, so I rushed to emergency. They did an ECG, checked my blood pressure, and even took an X-ray, but everything came back normal. I'm on some meds that the doctor gave me from the GD Diabetes Centre like Voveran SR, Pan D, and Trinerve 75. But still, when I touch the area, it hurts a bit, and when I don't, it feels ticklish and painful at the same time. Any idea what's going on or if I should be concerned?

Orthopedic opinion is advised to the patient.
