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 often find myself vomiting bile when I wake up if I haven't slept for at least six hours. I've also noticed my appetite isn't what it used to be. It's starting to worry me a bit. Could you shed some light on what's going on and how I might address this?

Vomiting bile after waking up, especially with less than 6 hours of sleep, and experiencing low appetite, may indicate an underlying issue such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acid reflux, or a digestive disorder; consider consulting a gastroenterologist

I've had a chronic fissure for the past 6 months and was on cefadroxil plus supportive treatment for 3 months prescribed by a surgeon, then switched to rifaximin 400mg with laxatives and local metrogy for another 3 months but I still have burning around the anal ring. The doctor says my anal canal isn't constricted and spasms have reduced so surgery isn't needed, but when I pass hard stools, my sentinel piles flare up and the burning lasts a long time. Why isn't this healing completely and what else can I try?

conservative therapy is advised to the patient.

Sure, I came across my medical report and it mentions terms like "marginally enlarged", "diffusely increased echogenicity", and "small hypoechoic sol with irregular wall" in my liver. There's also something about "tiny cystic changes" and a similar "smaller sol" at the left lobe. I'm really anxious about what all of this means. Are these findings something to be concerned about, and what kind of follow-up or action should I take?

The ultrasound report suggests that you have two liver lesions: a 46mm x 25mm x 29mm hypoechoic solid mass with irregular walls and tiny cystic changes in the right lobe, and a smaller 21mm x 15mm x 19mm solid mass in the left lobe; these findings may indicate benign liver lesions, such as hemangiomas or focal nodular hyperplasia, but further evaluation, such as a contrast-enhanced CT or MRI scan, and consultation with a hepatologist or radiologist are necessary to determine the nature and significance of these lesions.
