Question

My mom recently had an abdominal ultrasound that showed a 14mm gallstone in her gallbladder. The doctor recommended surgery, but she can't afford it right now. Are there any non-surgical ways to dissolve or remove the gallstone? What options do we have besides surgery?

Question

I'm really struggling with some severe issues related to eating, swallowing, and drinking. Every time I swallow anything, it feels like it hits a mass underneath my bra line, and this causes a lot of back pain and discomfort. I had my gallbladder removed four years ago, and I also have a hemangioma growing outside my liver. I'm really worried about these symptoms and looking for some advice on what might be going on. Could this be related to my past surgeries or the hemangioma? What should I do?

Question

I'm having a tough time with acidity. I've been dealing with a burning sensation in my upper stomach and it often makes me feel breathless. Sometimes I even have to catch my breath, and I've noticed this happening for about 6 years now. There's occasionally a wheezing sound and I often feel bloated too. Could all these symptoms be connected and what should I do about it?
