Question

I've been having this weird issue where sometimes I can't swallow my food without drinking water. I used to eat just fine without it, but now it feels like the food gets stuck halfway. As soon as I drink some water, though, I can swallow it down. It's not happening all the time, just sometimes, but it's got me worried. Any idea why this might be happening?

Question

I'm dealing with heartburn, chest pain, nausea, and shortness of breath, and I've been like this for the last six months. Ive had a 2D echo, ECG, vitamin D check, endoscopy, and blood tests, but everything seems to be normal. What could be causing these symptoms if all my tests are showing up fine? I'm really concerned and would love to understand what's going on.

Question

I'm a bit concerned after my recent routine checkup. During the ultrasound, everything came back normal except for something called "Mild Fatty Infiltration of Liver." My blood and urine tests were all fine too. I don't have any symptoms like pain or digestive issues, and my appetite is good. Should I be worried about this liver thing? Are there precautions I need to take?
