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.

View allI've been a bit worried since I recently had some blood work done. My total bilirubin was 1.77, so I took Livopill for 10 days, and my repeated test showed total bilirubin at 1.62, with DB at 0.63 and IDB at 0.99. The other results were total protein 7.6, serum albumin 4.9, globulin 2.7, AG ratio 1.8, SGOT 24, SGPT 25, alkaline phosphatase 92, GGTP 12, and my HBsAg was 0.24. Now, I've been told to take Ensules Plus for a month, but I feel this discomfort or pain just below my right rib. Should I be thinking about taking any other medication or is the pain something to worry about? Feeling a bit unsure about all this.
Your liver function tests show mild bilirubin elevation and normal liver enzymes, and the HbsAg result suggests you're not infected with hepatitis B; considering your symptoms and test results, consult your doctor about adding a liver protective supplement like silymarin or ursodeoxycholic acid to Ensules Plus, and for the rib pain, consider adding an antacid or acid reducer like omeprazole or ranitidine to alleviate discomfort, but only under medical guidance.

My wife has been dealing with gall bladder stone pain since February 25th and the stone is 18.3mm in size. Is there any way to dissolve or break it without surgery, especially since she just had a baby 4 months ago and underwent a delivery operation last November? We're really worried about another surgery so soon and want to explore all options first
A gallbladder stone measuring 18.3 mm (or 1.83 cm) is considered large and carries a higher risk of complications compared to smaller stones. While smaller gallstones often pass unnoticed, larger ones, particularly those over 1 cm, can lead to blockages in the bile ducts, inflammation, and potentially require surgical removal. A stone of this size, combined with other factors like composition, location, and underlying medical conditions, should be evaluated by a doctor to assess the individual risk and determine the best course of action
