I'm noticing mucus sometimes even without any stool. It's got me a bit worried, especially since there's occasionally a little blood. Could my weight of 94kgs or something related to my digestion be causing this issue?

My mom is 65 with multiple 9mm gallstones but her appetite is fine. She has occasional gas and mild pain, nothing severe. The doctor recommended surgery but mentioned it's high risk because of her severe sleep apnea. Can we just continue Udiliv for 2 years to dissolve the stones or is surgery really necessary?
Surgery is generally recommended for gallstones if the patient has symptoms. However, given your mom’s sleep apnea, non-surgical options like ursodeoxycholic acid (Udiliv) may help in the short term, though the stones are unlikely to fully dissolve. Consider discussing surgery timing based on her condition.

I'm really worried because I had this sharp, stabbing pain on the left side of my chest yesterday. My family doctor prescribed me some gastric tablets like Ocid and Topnac P. But now, whenever I burp, it feels like something is poking or pricking me on the left side of my chest. I'm wondering if this is just muscle tightness or if it could be something more serious like a heart issue or just gastric problems. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing gastric issues rather than heart-related problems or muscle tightness. The medications you have been prescribed are Ocid for gastric issues and Topnac P for pain relief. Ocid helps reduce stomach acid production and Topnac P is a pain reliever. The symptoms you are describing, such as sharp pinning pain in the left side of your chest and a pricking feeling when burping, are common symptoms of gastric problems. It is important to take the medications as prescribed by your doctor and follow up with them if the symptoms persist or worsen.
