I've been having this chest discomfort that's mostly in the center, but sometimes it's a bit on the left side too. Plus, there's this back pain right in the middle of my back. Last year I talked to a gastroenterologist and had an endoscopy and a chest X-ray. They didn't spot anything except a gastric problem. But here I am, a year later, feeling the same kind of discomfort again. What could be going on? Should I be worried, or is this something common that happens with gastric issues?

I'm dealing with a high fever that started yesterday, but what's puzzling me is there are no signs of a cold or flu. However, my stomach feels really off, like it's indigestion or something. Its also strange because my feet and palms are cold. What could possibly be going on with me?

I've been on these PPI meds for over a year now - dexlansoprazole 60mg daily, esomeprazole 40mg daily, and levosulpiride 75mg daily - but I'm still dealing with acid reflux, esophagitis, and gastritis. What are the long-term side effects of staying on PPIs this long? Is it safe to keep taking them beyond a year? Are there any surgical options that could help cure this instead? I can share my endoscopy report if needed.

Long-term PPI use is generally safe but may cause low magnesium, B12 deficiency, and gut flora changes. Surgery (like Nissen) may help if you're not responding. Share endoscopy for detailed advice.

I've just had some liver function tests, and my bilirubin levels came back at 2.9. Is this something to be worried about? Im not seeing any yellowing in my eyes or skin, and my urine doesnt seem too dark either. Who should I talk to for this? Any advice?
