I've had this really stubborn cough for about 8 months now and it's sometimes so bad that I end up vomiting. I went to see a doctor and got tested for TB, but that came back negative. My X-ray did show some lower lobe subsegmental pulmonary consolidation. I was on medication for a while, and the cough got better, but as soon as I stopped, it came back. I saw another doctor who suggested it might be a gastric issue and told me to avoid spicy foods and fizzy drinks. But the cough is still here, and it's worse at night, sometimes leading to vomiting. I have to admit, Im still eating spicy foods occasionally, and I'm wondering if that's making it worse. What should I do next?

I recently chatted with a dietitian, and she recommended Liv52 to help me gain weight and potentially ease liver issues. I'm currently taking two tablets a day. Is it truly safe to use Liv52 for this purpose?

Liv52 contains plant based extracts. It has general antioxidant and liver protective properties. Liv52 is generally safe to take but you should consult a physician to undergo some liver function tests to be on the safer side.

I've been having these concerning symptoms lately and I'm not sure what's going on. I was sleeping and suddenly woke up feeling dizzy, short of breath, and with some gas problems that caused a prickling pain in my chest. After that, I couldn't sleep and my body feels really weak, and the dizziness hasn't gone away. I looked it up on Google and came across GERD and acid reflux, which have similar symptoms. Could you help me figure out what this might be?
