If bleeding is in small quantity and occurs rarely then it might not be serious but need evaluation to know the cause.

Question

I'm having some issues with my stomach that have been bothering me for about a year now. Lately, I've noticed that I'm having trouble when it comes to going to the washroom. It's been happening every morning and then again in the afternoon. It's really inconvenient and causing me a lot of discomfort. Could there be an underlying issue here, and what can I do to address this?

Can hepatitis B be cured totally?

Question

I was just diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux disease last week and I'm dealing with this burning pain on the left side of my back around the breastbone and I'm also having shortness of breath. The doctor said it's GERD and I'm on medication, which is helping, but I'm still facing this breathing issue. Every 10 minutes or so, I feel like I need to take a deep breath or else there's this pressure and tightness in my chest. My blood tests came back normal with an HB of 13. Why do I feel like taking a deep breath every 10 minutes? Could you suggest any breathing exercises or regular exercises that might help with this?
