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?

Question

I've been dealing with acid reflux for the past three months, which seemed to come on out of nowhere. It's still not going away, and I'm taking omeprazole 10mg once or twice daily. I don't drink, I'm not overweight, and I don't smoke or anything like that. Lately, I've also been oversleeping, needing naps, getting some headaches, and feeling low. After some blood tests, my doctor gave me 1000mg of vitamin D and calcium. Could there be a common cause linking all these symptoms together?

Question

I'm having trouble sometimes with taking deep breaths. It's easier when I yawn, but other times it's really tough. My pulmonary function test came back normal, and my oxygen levels are good too. But I've also noticed that whenever I eat, there's this smell and sound from my mouth, reminding me of acidity or gastric issues. Could these be related, and what should I do about it?

Question

I'm really concerned about my husband. He went for a sonography because of his stomach pain, and they found something else too. His report says his liver size is normal, but there's an increased echo pattern mentioned. He also has high blood pressure, but he doesn't drink alcohol. I'm worried about what this could mean and how it might develop. Is it something serious?
