Sometimes when I'm sleeping at night, my throat gets really dry, and in the morning, I notice a bad smell. I've also felt a bit of irritation in the middle of my chest while lying down. Plus, there's some sputum that comes up in the morning, but then it's gone for the rest of the day. What could be causing this?

View allI've been diagnosed with a small hiatal hernia and lax LES through endoscopy, and my symptoms include GERD, throat and heartburn, mouth ulcers, and upper abdomen burning. I've tried so many PPI meds but they make me tired, and if I skip them even for two days, the burning, sour burps, and sleepless nights get unbearable. My doctor says the main issue is my lax LES and that I'll need lifelong meds or surgery, but I'm exhausted from taking PPIs for two years and surgery success rates don't seem great. I'm feeling hopeless sometimes the acid attacks and pain are so bad I can't cope. Can homeopathy actually help fix a lax LES or make GERD go away? I already eat clean homemade food with coriander and cumin, no spicy or oily stuff, plus fruits and curd and do yoga daily, but nothing's working. I don't want false hope just honest advice on whether this can improve.
While homeopathy may offer some symptomatic relief for GERD and related issues, it's unlikely to cure a lax LES or hiatal hernia. Homeopathy is a holistic approach that focuses on individual symptoms and constitution, but it lacks robust scientific evidence for treating structural issues like a lax LES.

What are the best medication options to dissolve a 78 mm gallstone without surgery and how long would I need to take them Also what foods or substances should I avoid during this treatment
Large gallstones like 78 mm don’t dissolve well; ursodiol can help in small stones—avoid fatty foods, alcohol, and fried items.

I've been having this weird feeling like there's something stuck in my throat for the last couple of weeks, and now I've been dealing with chest pain too. About three days ago, the chest pain got worse, but it's kinda settled down now. I saw an ENT specialist who thinks it's Acid Reflux and suggested taking Pan D capsules and Sucrafil syrup for a week. The chest pain is better, but this throat lump feeling won't go away. I even had an Echo stress test when the pain got bad, and luckily that came back okay. The ENT said I should check in with a chest doctor too. Any ideas on how I can get rid of this throat sensation and chest pain? It's really bugging me.
Probable diagnosis is Gerd, patient is advised pan d ,orally.once daily for 14 days before food..Avoid spicy foods.
