There's currently no cure for Hepatitis A. An infected person usually gets better within few months. Till then symptoms can be managed with supportive treatments, adequate rest and hydration.

Question

I'm sometimes hit with sudden breathlessness, especially after a big meal when my stomach feels really full. This has been going on for around 34 months and I often get these acidic burps. I'm also on medication for panic attacks, taking Serta 100 mg at night. I've also noticed that I've gained weight and my stomach's grown because I haven't been very active. Could this be related to obesity?

Question

My wife went through gall bladder surgery back in 2014 for acute gall stone pancreatitis. Since then, all her blood tests and ultrasounds have come back normal, but she still sometimes gets really bad leg pain at night and in the morning. On top of that, she deals with loose motions and a burning stomach about once a week. Do you have any idea what could be causing these issues and how we can help her feel better?

Question

I've got a 4mm gallstone and multiple small ones do I really need surgery or is there a way to dissolve them? Will they go away on their own or do I have to do something about it?
