I've been feeling a heaviness in my chest after I eat, and it sometimes feels like food is stuck in my throat for a few hours after. It's kinda uncomfortable and I'm worried about what's causing it. Could this be something serious, or is there a simple explanation for why this is happening?

I'm currently dealing with a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis and was given allopathy treatments for it. I'm wondering which would actually be better for me: homeopathy or allopathy? Could you help me figure out which approach might be more effective? I'm really concerned about making the best choice for my health.

I have a 31mm gall bladder calculus but my gallbladder wall thickness and CBD are normal. Is it possible to treat this without surgery? If I do get surgery, will the stones come back again?

Yes, it's possible to treat a 31mm gallbladder calculus without surgery, and the likelihood of stones returning after surgery varies. While surgical removal (cholecystectomy) is often the preferred treatment for symptomatic gallstones, non-surgical options like medication or percutaneous cholangioscopy may be considered. The risk of gallstones returning after surgery is low if the gallbladder is removed.
