Found a 5mm gallstone during my checkup but no pain or symptoms yet. Should I consider surgery or try medication to dissolve it? What's the best approach for something this small?

View allI'm really struggling with my stomach issuesgas, acidity, and constipation. I've visited numerous doctors, but nothing seems to work. All my tests like endoscopy and sonography come back normal, yet I never feel right. I maintain a simple diet and regularly do exercises like jogging, yoga, and pranayam. Despite this, the acidity rises to the upper side of my stomach, making it hard to breathe, and it keeps me up at night. It seriously makes me feel so hopeless sometimes. Can you please advise on what I should do? I dont have a lot of money to see more doctors, so Im desperate for help here.
Based on your symptoms, you may benefit from taking over-the-counter antacids like Ranitidine 150mg or Omeprazole 20mg to help with acidity and upper stomach discomfort. For constipation, you can try Duphalac Syrup as needed to improve bowel movements. It is also important to maintain a healthy diet with high fiber content and drink plenty of water throughout the day. Additionally, you may consider lifestyle modifications such as avoiding spicy and oily foods, eating smaller meals, and avoiding lying down immediately after eating. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to seek medical attention.
