I'm curious about drinking water and sleeping; does drinking water before taking a nap or going to sleep at night affect digestion? How long should I wait between drinking water and sleeping to avoid any issues?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It is generally fine to sleep after drinking water, both during the day or at night, as long as you don't drink excessive amounts right before lying down. Ideally, it's best to wait 30 minutes to an hour after drinking water before going to bed to avoid discomfort or indigestion. Drinking moderate amounts of water does not typically cause digestive problems, but drinking too much right before sleep can sometimes lead to bloating or frequent urination during the night.

I'm really worried about my wife. She's been dealing with this pain on the right side of her chest for a couple of weeks now. We had an ultrasound and X-ray done, and the doctor mentioned something about liver enlargement and fluid in her lower lungs. The reports also showed WBC lymphocytes at 20 and neutrophils at 76, plus there's an infection in her urine. We've tried different medications, but her pain hasn't gotten much better. What should we do for treatment? Any advice would be really appreciated.

I'm having a bit of trouble with my breathing every evening; it feels like some sort of shortness of breath. I suspect it might be linked to acid reflux because when I manage to get rid of some gas, my breathing seems to return to normal. The feeling's pretty uncomfortable when the gas is there, and I'm starting to worry if there might be a lung issue going on. Could this be something related to my lungs, or is it really just about the reflux? Any guidance would be really appreciated.
