I'm having some weird symptoms that are really worrying me. Sometimes my stomach makes these burping sounds, and I have this cough-like feeling and a lump in my throat. My chest feels tight, mostly on the left side but sometimes on the right too, and it gets really hard to lie down comfortably. I'm getting anxious and scared that it might be a heart attack or something serious. I haven't been able to sleep well for a long time. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

View allFound a 9mm gallstone during my company health checkup what should I do next is there any medicine to dissolve it or do I need surgery could this stone cause problems later
A 9mm gallstone found during a health checkup requires follow-up with a doctor. While medication can sometimes dissolve gallstones, especially cholesterol stones, it's not a guaranteed solution and may take months or years. Surgery (cholecystectomy) to remove the gallbladder is often the preferred treatment for symptomatic gallstones, and it's generally more effective than medication. Whether or not the stone will cause problems later depends on whether it causes symptoms, and if so, what kind of symptoms.

I'm a 32-year-old male, and I'm a bit worried about my recent liver test results. My SGOT is 63 and my SGPT is 70. Should I be concerned about these numbers? Also, my bilirubin level is 1.26. Could you please advise me on whether these are dangerous and suggest any medicine or lifestyle changes I should consider?
Smegma is a normal, harmless substance. To get rid of smegma: Retract your foreskin and gently wash the area with warm water and mild soap. Use a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser to avoid irritation. Avoid using harsh or abrasive products. Dry the area thoroughly after washing. Repeat this process 2-3 times a week. Consult a urologist or healthcare professional if you experience discomfort, pain, or difficulty retracting your foreskin.
