I've developed a swelling just below my ribs on the right side, and it's been really painful. Lately, I've also been experiencing shortness of breath, numbness in my hands, and frequent body aches. Could these symptoms be related? What could be causing all this?

I've been told I have multiple small gallstones of different sizes. Can Ayurvedic medicine really dissolve them completely so I won't need surgery? I'm worried about the stones causing problems later if they don't go away
Oral dissolution therapy. Ursodiol link (Actigall) and chenodiol link (Chenix) are medicines that contain bile acids that can break up gallstones. These medicines work best to break up small cholesterol stones. You may need months or years of treatment to break up all stones.

I have a 2.9cm gallstone can it be dissolved with meds or will I need surgery? I've been dealing with a lot of gas and stomach bloating too, is that related?
A gallstone of 2.9cm is relatively large and unlikely to be dissolved with medication alone. Surgery, typically cholecystectomy, is usually the recommended treatment. The gas and bloating you're experiencing could be related to the gallstone, as it can cause digestive issues and potentially lead to bloating.
