I'm having some issues with my stomach, especially in the morning. There's this pain that comes along with motions, and it kinda feels like it's burning in my stomach and heart. Not too long ago, my doctor said it was food poisoning or an infection and gave me some meds for three days, which helped at first. But now the pain and motions are back just like before. What could be going on?

The recurring stomach pain, motion, and heartburn despite completing the prescribed medication for food poisoninginfection suggest a possible underlying condition such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), stomach ulcers, or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS); consider consulting your doctor again for further evaluation, potential endoscopy or imaging tests, and adjusted treatment, as well as making lifestyle changes like avoiding trigger foods, eating smaller meals, and managing stress.

I've been having these concerning symptoms lately and I'm not sure what's going on. I was sleeping and suddenly woke up feeling dizzy, short of breath, and with some gas problems that caused a prickling pain in my chest. After that, I couldn't sleep and my body feels really weak, and the dizziness hasn't gone away. I looked it up on Google and came across GERD and acid reflux, which have similar symptoms. Could you help me figure out what this might be?

I've been having some trouble understanding my recent test results. My total bilirubin level has been over 1.5 and my SGOTSGPT levels above 50 since September 2015. I've had all sorts of tests done at MIOT, but everything came back negative. The doctors haven't figured out why it's like this yet, and they're suggesting continued follow-up. I'm just really concerned and would appreciate any advice on what might be going on.

Is it possible to permanently cure GERD chest pain without surgery or is medication the only option I really want to understand if there's a long-term solution for this

While a full cure without surgery for GERD and its associated chest pain is possible for some individuals, it's not a guaranteed outcome for everyone. Lifestyle changes and medications are often the first-line treatments, but surgery can be a long-term solution for some
