I'm really worried because I'm dealing with some intense pain in my stomach that's stopping me from moving around. I can't remember the size of the glass piece that might have caused it. What should I do?

View allI've been feeling heartburn since yesterday, and it's really bad when I try to sleepduring the day it's there but not as intense. Can you suggest some home remedies that might help?
Hello! It sounds like you are experiencing heartburn that worsens when lying down. For relief, you can try the following home remedies: - Avoiding trigger foods such as spicy, fatty, or acidic foods - Eating smaller, more frequent meals - Avoiding lying down right after eating - Elevating your head while sleeping - Drinking ginger tea or chamomile tea - Taking over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids as needed - Trying over-the-counter H2 blockers like Pepcid AC or Zantac - Using over-the-counter proton pump inhibitors like Prilosec OTC or Nexium 24HR for persistent symptoms - If symptoms persist, it's important to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been feeling a weird tightness in my chest and throat, and it's not exactly painful, but it's definitely uncomfortable. The only time I feel some relief is when Im eating, drinking hot drinks, burping, coughing, or sneezing but it only lasts for a short time. I also smoke, and yesterday I noticed a mild sensation in my chest, though I can't tell if it's burning or not. I'm really concerned and need some expert advice to figure out what's going on with me.
take tablet pantoprazole for 5 days once daily 30 minutes before food

I'm really concerned because my recent tests showed some worrying results. My ultrasound pointed to a fatty liver, and my blood work showed that my levels are a bit off: SGOT is 138, SGPT is 245, GGT is 138, and alkaline phosphatase is 117. Plus, my globulin level is at 3.5. What could be causing these issues?
Indicative of liver inflammation and damage. To address this condition, you can take Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA. Additionally, it is important to make lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding alcohol to improve your liver health.
