I have two fibroids around 2.8 cm and 2.7 cm in size and really don't want to go through surgery. Is it possible to treat them completely with just medicines or are there other non-surgical options that might work for me

Yes, it's possible to treat uterine fibroids non-surgically, including through medication and other procedures. Your fibroids, being around 2.8 and 2.7 cm, fall within a size range where non-surgical options are often considered.

I'm dealing with pain in my lower abdomen that's making it really hard to move around. Walking, turning over in bed, sittingeverything hurts. I've already tried taking the painkiller and antibiotic that my doctor recommended, but nothing's helping. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I should try?

Its likely superficial muscular than internal pain. I would suggest you get ultrasound abdomen if pain persists

I'm wondering if it's normal to have shortness of breath and chest tightness just before my period. It's something I've noticed happening and it's making me a bit anxious. Is this something I should be concerned about or is it generally harmless? Also, could you suggest which tests or checks I might need to consider?

It's not uncommon for some women to experience shortness of breath or chest tightness before their period due to hormonal changes. However, if these symptoms are severe or persistent, it's important to rule out other conditions. I would recommend starting with a physical exam and possibly tests like an ECG, chest X-ray, or blood work to ensure everything is fine.
