I have gallbladder stones but don't experience much pain just occasional mild stomach discomfort from acidity. Should I consider surgery to remove my gallbladder, and if so, when would be the right time to go for it?

View allIve been noticing this weird sensation, like something's moving inside my stomach, especially when I sleep on it. It doesn't hurt, but it feels unusual. Could it possibly be some type of worm or parasite? Any insights would be really helpful.
It is possible that you may have intestinal worms. I recommend taking Albendazole 400mg as a single dose. This medication is effective against a variety of intestinal parasites. It is important to follow up with a repeat dose after 2 weeks to ensure complete eradication of the worms.

I haven't been able to pass stool for four days and it's getting really painful. Yesterday, I realized it's become too hard and won't pass through my rectum. I tried using a suppository but it didn't help, then I had some cremafin syrup and now only a tiny, hard stool comes out with a lot of pain and water. It's unbearable and I'm really struggling. I've never dealt with anything like this before. I'm considering going to the hospital for an enema but I'm also on my period, so I'm kind of worried about that too. Could you give me some advice on what I should do?
Given your severe constipation, painful bowel movements, and failure of suppositories and Cremafin syrup, consider visiting the hospital for further treatment, despite being on your period, as the medical staff can take necessary precautions; enema or other medical interventions like manual removal of stool or prescription medications may be necessary to relieve your symptoms; meanwhile, stay hydrated, apply warm compresses to your abdomen, and avoid straining during bowel movements to minimize discomfort.

I've been having these concerning symptoms lately and I'm not sure what's going on. I was sleeping and suddenly woke up feeling dizzy, short of breath, and with some gas problems that caused a prickling pain in my chest. After that, I couldn't sleep and my body feels really weak, and the dizziness hasn't gone away. I looked it up on Google and came across GERD and acid reflux, which have similar symptoms. Could you help me figure out what this might be?
take antacids for few days it will reduce symptoms
