I'm feeling this weird tingling sensation under my left rib cage. Every time I lie on my left side, it feels like something's there, like a slight pressure or touch. I looked it up and it mentioned something about the spleen. Who would be the best specialist to consult about this?

My mom is 53 and has both diabetes and high blood pressure. She recently found out she has multiple gallstones. What would be better for her trying ayurvedic or homeopathic treatments, or should she just go for surgery?

For a 53-year-old woman with diabetes and high blood pressure who has multiple gallstones, surgery (cholecystectomy) is generally the most effective and recommended treatment. While Ayurvedic or homeopathic treatments might offer some relief or symptomatic management, they are not likely to eliminate the gallstones or prevent future complications
