I'm a bit worried and curious if there's any connection between not masturbating for a while and having stomach issues like acid reflux. I've been experiencing acid reflux and thought maybe it's linked to this. Is there any harm in masturbation related to this, or is it okay if I start again since it's been tough to resist?

There is no direct link between masturbation and acid reflux. Masturbation is a normal activity and, in general, doesnt cause digestive issues like acid reflux. If you're experiencing acid reflux, it may be related to diet, stress, or other factors. If you feel the urge, its fine to engage in the activity in moderation, but focusing on managing your reflux through lifestyle changes and medical advice may help more with your symptoms.

View allI've been diagnosed with a gallbladder stone and heard surgery might be the only option. Lately, I've been dealing with acidity issues, which isn't usual for me, and sometimes it feels like I'm not getting enough oxygen when I try to take deep breaths. Could the breathing trouble be related to the acidity or the gallbladder stone?
It's common to experience acidity issues when you have gallbladder stones, and while surgery is a frequent recommendation for gallstones, it's not the only option. It's important to discuss both the acidity and gallstone issues with your doctor, as they may be related, and various treatment options exist for both.

I've got gallbladder stones and I'm wondering if there are options besides having surgery to remove the gallbladder. Can you give me some advice?

Hey, I've been having some breathing issues for the past six months and it's bothering me a lot. Im a 26-year-old guy with a lean build, but my belly sort of sticks out and I'm wondering if its related. Every night about 20 minutes after I fall asleep, I wake up suddenly feeling breathless and like my throat is narrowing. Drinking a glass of water seems to help, and then I can sleep through the rest of the night. In the morning, there's this discomfort in my upper chest, along with a weird taste in my mouth and it feels dry, which wakes me up. Sometimes I notice I clench my teeth in my sleep too. I've noticed whenever I eat, whether it's lunch or dinner, the discomfort in my stomach and chest gets worse and my breathing problems intensify. If I lie down for a while, it seems to help. And if I have a drink, the next day's breathing and eating feel even more difficult. The tightness in my chest and stomach is really noticeable when Im sitting down. Also, I walk 4 kilometers daily. Could these things be connected, and what should I do about it?
