I've been experiencing chest pain when I move my upper body, and if I press lightly on my chest, it sometimes makes me burp. It's been worrying me a bit, and I'm not sure what could be causing it. Could it be something serious or just something minor? Would love to get your thoughts on what might be happening.

I have a gall bladder stone measuring 19.7 mm and I really don't want to go through surgery are there any effective home remedies that can help dissolve or break it down naturally? What options do I have besides surgery?

Gallbladder stones of nearly 20 mm are quite large and unlikely to dissolve with home remedies. Unfortunately, there are no proven natural treatments to break down such big stones safely. You can discuss with your doctor about non-surgical options like oral bile acid therapy, but these take months and work mainly for smaller cholesterol stones. Close monitoring and surgical removal remain the most effective and safest approach.

Is it OK to remove stool with finger?

Manual evacuation of stool with finger may be done sometimes but it can cause trauma and anal bleeding if more force is used. It is always better to visit a nearest doctor who can safely help in removing stools.
