I'm dealing with some chest heaviness and trouble breathing, especially in the evenings and at night. Ive had acid reflux before, and now I'm taking doxycycline since I'm COVID positive. My fever's been gone for four days, and my breathing was okay a few days ago, but this chest issue started three days back. My oxygen levels are consistently at 98, so that's good. I took ranidommps and digene last night, which seemed to help, but the tightness and breathing issues came back after lunch today. Any idea what's going on or what I should do?

I'm dealing with functional bowel disease, and my stool consistency is all over the place. Sometimes it's semisolid, and other times it's suddenly hard. I'm wondering if taking Bilwadi lehyam might help improve this? I also have a tendency to get anal fissures, so could it make my stool too hard?

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

Can a 14mm gallstone be healed without surgery and how long would it take Is there a chance it might come back even after treatment I don't have any symptoms right now but I'm wondering if homeopathy can dissolve the stone completely or if surgery is the better option If homeopathy can make the stone disappear, I'd like to know before visiting the clinic

A 14mm gallstone is unlikely to be resolved without surgery. While homeopathy might help manage symptoms, it's not a proven method for dissolving gallstones, especially of this size. Surgery, like laparoscopic cholecystectomy, is the most common and effective treatment for larger gallstones to prevent complications
