I've been having this pain on the right side below my chest for the last two days, especially when I breathe and yawn. I've also been burping all day. This started after I was fasting on Saturday and had liquid fasting on Monday. I did take a gas tablet yesterday, but the pain is still there today when I woke up. I can't visit a hospital right now because of the lockdown and the situation outside. Do you think this could just be gas pain?

I'm experiencing this on-and-off dizziness and it's really concerning me. I also have an acute acidity problem. Do you think the dizziness could be related to my acidity, or could it be an issue with my neck? I'm not sure what's going on and would appreciate your advice.
_Lemon and Water for Bloating: Benefits, Side Effects, and Precautions_ Drinking lemon and water in the morning is a popular remedy for bloating, but its effectiveness and potential side effects vary from person to person. _Benefits_ 1. _Digestive stimulation_: Lemon juice may stimulate digestive enzymes and improve gut motility, which can help alleviate bloating. 2. _Hydration_: Drinking water helps maintain proper hydration, which is essential for digestive health and reducing bloating. _Side Effects and Precautions_ 1. _Increased gas and bloating_: As you've experienced, lemon juice can sometimes exacerbate gas and bloating, especially if you're sensitive to citrus or have underlying digestive issues. 2. _Acid reflux and heartburn_: Lemon juice can irritate the esophagus and worsen acid reflux and heartburn symptoms. 3. _Tooth erosion_: Regular consumption of lemon juice can erode tooth enamel due to its acidity. _Recommendations_ 1. _Start with small amounts_: If you're new to drinking lemon and water, begin with a small amount (e.g., 14 lemon slice) and gradually increase as needed. 2. _Dilute the lemon juice_: Mix the lemon juice with a larger amount of water (e.g., 1:10 ratio) to reduce its acidity and potential side effects. 3. _Monitor your body's response_: Pay attention to how your body reacts to drinking lemon and water. If you experience persistent discomfort, bloating, or other adverse effects, consider alternative remedies or consult a healthcare professional. 4. _Consult a healthcare professional_: If you have underlying digestive issues, acid reflux, or other health concerns, consult a healthcare professional before starting any new remedies, including lemon and water.

I'm really concerned about my dad. He has a calcification in his liver that's about 6mm big. On top of that, he's been frequently getting cold and cough. He's already on medication for his heart condition and diabetes. What should we be doing about this? Is there anything specific we should watch out for or any additional treatment options we could consider?
Considering the calcification in the liver (6mm) and recurring cold and cough, consult a hepatologist or gastroenterologist for: Diagnostic Tests 1. Liver Function Tests (LFTs) 2. Ultrasound or CT scan to assess calcification size and location 3. Blood tests: Complete Blood Count (CBC), Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), Creatinine 4. Echocardiogram (for heart condition) 5. Pulmonary function tests (for respiratory issues) Management 1. Monitor liver function and calcification size 2. Adjust diabetes and heart medications as needed 3. Treat respiratory infections with antibiotics (if bacterial) 4. Consider antiviral medications (if viral infection suspected) 5. Lifestyle modifications: - Healthy diet - Regular exercise - Stress management - Adequate sleep Potential Concerns 1. Hepatitis B or C infection 2. Liver cancer risk 3. Metabolic syndrome 4. Pulmonary embolism risk (due to calcification)
