I don't have any pain but was diagnosed with gallbladder sludge should I be worried? Does this condition usually require surgery or can it be managed without it? Wondering if I should see a doctor even though I'm not feeling any discomfort right now.

I was wondering how we can really be sure that someone is free of abdominal tuberculosis after they've finished their ATT course. Is there a specific test that can accurately confirm it? I'm feeling a bit anxious about making sure the treatment has been successful.

Patient is advised x-ray chest and sputum for AFB and mmicroscopy.

I found out I have a partially distended gallbladder with multiple stones, the biggest being 19mm, and diffuse wall thickening in the neck and body. My liver shows grade 1 fatty infiltration but other reports and LFT are fine except slightly high SGPT. I'm really scared of surgery what other options do I have?

I'm feeling pretty worried because for the past 10 days, no matter how little I eat, I always feel like my stomach is super full, and I'm dealing with shortness of breath and a lot of burping. It gets even worse when I'm trying to sleep. I saw a gastroenterologist and started taking some meds like pantodac DSR, RCIFAX 550, and GAVISCON syrup for the last 3 days, and I'm feeling a little better. But, recently, I've been noticing my chest feels tight and heavy, and sometimes breathing gets tough. I dont have many other symptoms, just a really rare dry cough, maybe 3-4 times a day. Should I be worried about the coronavirus, or is this something more normal? Looking for some guidance here.
