I'm really worried about my mom. She's been having shortness of breath for a week now, but she doesn't have a fever or cold symptoms at all. Plus, she's got a lot of gastric issues and just keeps burping. Could you help me understand what's going on with her?

View allI'm feeling this strange cold and minty sensation in my throat, and it's been going on for almost a week now. I stopped smoking because I thought that might be causing it, but it's still there. I read somewhere that it might be acid reflux, but I'm not really sure how that would happen. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
stop smoking avoid spicy foods and immediate sleep after taking food

Why do only some people get anal fissures from occasional hard stool when everyone experiences it at least once? Is there something different about their anal structure? I've had LIS surgery but still worry can the tendency to develop fissures from hard stool be completely eliminated like it is for others?
surgery opinion is advised to the patient
