Question

I've been dealing with acid reflux for the past 18 months and have been taking pantoprazole quite often. I've heard that LINX surgery might be a good solution for this issue. Could you please give me some advice on whether this would be a suitable option for me?

LINX Reflux Management System surgery can be an effective treatment for acid reflux, especially for those who haven't responded well to medications like pantoprazole; however, consult your gastroenterologist to discuss potential benefits and risks, and determine if LINX surgery is suitable for your specific condition, considering factors like severity of symptoms, esophageal function, and overall health.

Question

I'm having these weird feelings where it seems like my breath just pauses. It comes from my stomach, almost like there's a bubble that hits my upper abdomen, and then my breath takes a pause. It makes me really nervous when it happens. Is this something serious I should be worried about?

Question

I'm having some trouble with loose motions and a bit of stomach pain. What do you recommend I do? And what kind of diet should I stick to while this is going on?

Question

I've been experiencing this sharp stabbing pain under my right rib for about a week now. It really hurts when I move, laugh, or take deep breaths. The only thing that somewhat helps is Advil, but the pain is still there, just less intense. I've tried waiting it out, but it doesn't seem to go away, and I can't lay down on either side because it hurts. I'm really not sure what's going on, and I'm a bit worried. Any ideas on what this could be?
