I'm really worried because I've been dealing with this acid reflux ever since I quit smoking about a month ago. Its become quite uncomfortable, and sometimes I even have trouble breathing, which gets worse when I try to exercise. Im not sure if there's any medication I could take to ease these symptoms, or if it's important that I visit a hospital right now. Any advice would be really appreciated.

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.

I have been diagnosed with a stage 2 or 3 hiatus hernia and experience symptoms like chest pain and mild heartburn. Can homeopathy help treat this condition? Also, is surgery the only option if it gets complicated? Would appreciate any doctor recommendations or advice on managing this.

I've noticed a lump just below my rib on the right side, and its really uncomfortable, especially when I try to lie on that side. It kind of feels like somethings pushing against my rib. What could this possibly be? Should I be concerned?

It sounds like you may have a lump or swelling near your rib, which could be due to various causes such as a muscle strain, benign growth, or inflammation. I recommend seeing a doctor for a physical examination and possibly some imaging tests to determine the cause and get appropriate treatment.
