Question

I have a stone in my gallbladder and the doctor said it might be affecting my pancreas too. What's the best way to remove it should I try medicines or go for surgery? If medicines work, can you suggest some tablet names? And if surgery is better, could you recommend a good hospital near Vellore or Chennai?

Question

I've been dealing with nausea, stomach pressure, acidity, and weight loss even though I've been eating normally. Recently, after getting an upper endoscopy, they found I have antral gastritis and tested positive for H. pylori. So, I'm on Nexpro L, Gaviscon syrup, an H. pylori treatment kit, and a probiotic. It's been 8 days on these meds, with another week to go. While my symptoms have improved and I'm feeling better, I'm still dropping weight. I'm really confused and a bit worried why this is happening. Could it be because of the H. pylori infection? Once the treatment's over, will I be able to gain weight back? I used to weigh around 71 kg last year; now I'm down to 65.5 kg. I also have piles, and it's kind of freaking me out. How should I approach gaining weight again?

Question

I've been getting these muscle pains that feel just like a heart attack, but every time, it's diagnosed as acidity. This has been happening for six years now. And in the last two years, I've started having panic attacks that again feel like I'm having a heart attack. I've done stress tests and an echo test, and fortunately, they turned out fine. I've also had gastroscopy done twice. What could be causing these symptoms? Could it just be stress or something else? I'm really looking for some guidance on what steps to take next.

Question

I'm a bit nervous about what I should be doing after having my rectal polyp removed. Are there specific precautions I need to take? And what kind of foods would be best for my recovery? I'm really hoping to avoid any complications.
