I'm dealing with a diagnosis of lax LES and esophagitis grade A, and it's really frustrating because it feels like food is stuck in my upper abdomen. How long is this going to take to heal completely?

Healing of Grade A esophagitis can take 26 weeks with appropriate treatment. Lax LES can be managed through lifestyle changes and medication, but complete resolution might require ongoing care. Consistent treatment and lifestyle modifications are important for long-term relief.

I'm really concerned and looking for some advice. I started taking Nuroday for my low vitamin B12 levels back in November, but by December, I had a stomach infection with acute diarrhea. Then it happened again in February, and now I've developed irritable bowel syndrome. Every time I take Nuroday, my symptoms seem to get worse and I end up going to the bathroom up to 67 times a day. Could this be a side effect of the Nuroday?

I'm having a lot of trouble with gas choking near my heart when I have dinner at 9 pm. It's making it really hard for me to sleep. Whenever I try to rest, I wake up feeling uncomfortable around my heart. I'm also smoking about 4 cigarettes a day. Could this be causing these issues? What should I do?

It sounds like you might be experiencing acid reflux or indigestion, which can cause discomfort near your heart, especially after a late meal. Smoking can also contribute to this. Try to avoid heavy meals before bed and consider quitting smoking for better heart and digestive health. If the discomfort persists, its important to consult a doctor for further evaluation.

I've been dealing with some really uncomfortable symptoms and I'm getting kinda worried. My stomach has been bothering me a lot with gastritis, and Im burping a lot too. I feel this pain on the left side of my abdomen and this heaviness in the middle of my chest, especially when I try to sleep. There's this weird tight feeling in my throat and one side of my nose swells up. Whenever I take a deep breath, my ear kinda closes off which feels strange. When Im trying to sleep, sometimes my heart starts racing and I find it hard to breathe. My head feels heavy throughout the day which is really annoying. I havent lost any weight, Im not losing my appetite, and I dont smoke or drinkI'm vegetarian too. Does this all sound serious? Any idea what might be going on?

it is due to sinusitis or deviated nasal septum. take steam inhalation
