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'm dealing with a diagnosis of lax LES and esophagitis grade A, and it's really frustrating because it feels like food is stuck in my upper abdomen. How long is this going to take to heal completely?
Healing of Grade A esophagitis can take 26 weeks with appropriate treatment. Lax LES can be managed through lifestyle changes and medication, but complete resolution might require ongoing care. Consistent treatment and lifestyle modifications are important for long-term relief.

I'm a 25-year-old male and a bit overweight. Lately, I've noticed my stool has been narrower, sometimes even pencil-thin. There's no blood, fever, or stomach pain, but when I looked it up online, I came across something about colon cancer. Now I'm really freaked out. Can you give me some advice on what might be going on?
Less likely to be related to colon cancer. Narrow or pencil-thin stool can sometimes be caused by benign conditions such as changes in diet, dehydration, or a lack of fiber. However, it is important to rule out any serious underlying issues. I recommend you try increasing your fiber intake and staying hydrated. You can also consider taking a stool softener like Colace (docusate sodium) to help with stool consistency. If the issue persists or if you develop any concerning symptoms, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation

My CT scan from 6 months ago showed a few tiny calculi and I'm diabetic. For the past 23 months, I've been dealing with bloating, acidity, and constipation. Is surgery something I should consider for this?
Mild GI symptoms and tiny renal calculi may not need surgery; a gastroenterologist can guide further with imaging and labs.
