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.

I've been dealing with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and I'm feeling pretty confused about how to find the right treatment. Is IBS something that can actually be treated or am I likely to struggle with this long-term? I'm open to trying out different treatments, whether it's allopathic, homeopathic, or Ayurveda, but I just don't know where to start. Any advice on what might be the best route to take?

I'm a bit confused about how to take Liv 52. Should it be taken on an empty stomach or with food? Also, could you tell me the recommended doses for better digestion and relief?

Liv 52 is a Ayurvedic medicine so you can take either before food or after food but according to my advice any digestive syrup should take after feed .

I started taking Metrogyl 400 for a bad stomach yesterday, took it twice, and now I'm feeling better. Do I still need to keep taking it, or is it okay to stop? Will it cause any issues if I don't continue? I'm just wondering if its important to finish the whole course even if I'm feeling fine now.

-It's important to complete the full course of Metrogyl to ensure the infection is fully treated. Even if you're feeling better, stopping early can lead to a relapse or resistance. If you're unsure, it's best to consult your doctor for advice.
