I've had issues with acidity ever since I was 14, and now I'm 22. It gets really bad during my periods and a week before they start. The acidity is so severe I can't even stomach plain rice, and it causes my stomach to bloat. Plus, I get these headaches that make it hard to focus on anything. Could you please advise on what to do about this?

A movable, wobbly lump on the lower left side of your rib cage could be a lipoma (benign fatty tumor), a sebaceous cyst, or a hernia. Less commonly, it could be a sign of a more serious condition, such as a splenic tumor or cyst. Consult a primary care physician or a general surgeon for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

I've been dealing with this chest pain for the last three months, and it's really starting to stress me out. What's weird is that it happens more when I'm resting or trying to sleep. I've gone through a bunch of tests like a chest X-ray, TMT, Echo, ECG, and an endoscopy, and everything came back normal. Even my cardiologist says it's not a heart issue. I'm taking Nexpro for the gastric stuff, but it hasn't helped much. The pain is always on the left side, never the right. Do you think there's something else I should be checking out, or any advice on what this could be?

Ecg and chest-ray pa view is advised to the patient.

My liver is enlarged with normal shape but shows increased echogenicity and fatty changes on the report, along with very high liver enzymes. My gallbladder looks normal in size and shape but has fat deposits in the wall, which the report calls cholesterosis. I've been dealing with severe indigestion, heartburn, constant burping, excess gas, and constipation. Do I need gallbladder surgery for this

I'm really concerned about this problem I've been having for the last six months. Every time I press on my lower abdomen, it feels like my intestines are being pushed out, and it hurts. After I eat, there's this groaning pain in my stomach and the whole area feels really uncomfortable. I've also been dealing with a lot of indigestion. Could you help me understand what's going on and what kind of treatment I should look into?

try eating several small meals instead of three large ones whenever you can...Avoid foods that irritate your stomach, especially those that are spicy, acidic, fried or fatty... avoid coffee,tea etc... Avoid stress,consider calming activities, such as meditation, yoga etc...sleep with head raised position and have dinner at least 2 hours before sleep..Increasing your fiber intake will help promote soft and bulky stool and may relive your symptoms...Foods that are fiber-rich include beans, fruits, whole grains, beans and vegetables
