Question 1

I'm Rajesh and I've been having this abdominal pain on the left side of my belly button for about 4 years now. I did a colonoscopy and endoscopy and they told me it's IBS. But just last week, I had an ultrasound and they found a 3mm gallbladder polyp. I'm really worried about it and it's making it hard for me to focus on work. Is this something dangerous? What should I do?

Accepted Answer

A 3mm gallbladder polyp is generally not dangerous, but regular monitoring is important.
No immediate treatment is typically required, but keep an eye on any changes in symptoms.
Managing IBS and discussing your stress with your doctor can help improve your overall well-being.

Question 2

I've been dealing with this chest pain for the last three months, and it's really starting to stress me out. What's weird is that it happens more when I'm resting or trying to sleep. I've gone through a bunch of tests like a chest X-ray, TMT, Echo, ECG, and an endoscopy, and everything came back normal. Even my cardiologist says it's not a heart issue. I'm taking Nexpro for the gastric stuff, but it hasn't helped much. The pain is always on the left side, never the right. Do you think there's something else I should be checking out, or any advice on what this could be?

Accepted Answer

Ecg and chest-ray pa view is advised to the patient.

Question 3

I'm really concerned right now because I've been experiencing this tightness in my chest, and it feels like something is stuck in my throat. It's making it really difficult for me to sleep. My dad gave me a pantop tablet yesterday, and now my throat feels clear, and my chest is okayish, but there's still this uneasy feeling in my chest with a very slight pain. Last month, I dealt with a cold and cough with white phlegm for about 20 days, but that's gone now. With everything going on with COVID-19, I'm scared to visit a hospital. Do you think I should be taking any other medication, or is there anything else you can suggest?

I just found out I have a gall bladder stone and I'm really worried is there any way to treat this without going through surgery? I'd prefer to avoid an operation if possible
