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.

View allI've been having chest pain every day and even though my ECG was normal and I've done HRCT, chest ultrasound, and endoscopy, everything came back normal. But the pain and even a pain in my left hand just wont go away, and its not in a fixed spot. Sometimes I get shortness of breath too. A bunch of doctors have told me it might be GERD. Could you help me figure out what's going on and how to get better?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease). To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking a proton pump inhibitor like Esomeprazole (brand name: Nexium) 40mg once daily before breakfast for at least 4-8 weeks. Additionally, you can take antacids like Ranitidine (brand name: Zantac) 150mg twice daily before meals and at bedtime for quick relief of symptoms. It's also important to avoid trigger foods like spicy, fatty, or acidic foods, and to eat smaller, more frequent meals. If your symptoms persist, you may need further evaluation by a gastroenterologist.

I had a 5 mm polyp show up on my ultrasound 23 months ago and I'm not sure what to do next does it need surgery or can it go away on its own
A 5mm polyp found on ultrasound 23 months ago likely requires further evaluation, not necessarily surgery immediately. Whether it requires surgery or not depends on the type and location of the polyp, as well as the individual's overall health and risk factors

My sister has been dealing with dengue and fever for about six days now. Her blood test showed her SGPT level is at 432.80 and SGOT is 551.30. I'm really concerned about what this could mean. Could you explain the implications of these levels and any way we might be able to bring them down?
To help reduce these levels and support her liver function, she can take a medication called Liv 52. The recommended dosage is 2 tablets twice a day after meals. Additionally, she should drink plenty of water, get adequate rest, and avoid alcohol and fatty foods. It is important for her to follow up with her healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of her condition.
