I'm really worried because I've been dealing with indigestion for a week now. Everything I eat just comes back up with some sour water, and on top of that, I'm experiencing chest and shoulder pains, feeling lightheaded and dizzy, plus there's this burning feeling in my stomach. Is all this just due to acidity, or could it be something more serious like a heart attack? I'm not sure what to think and would appreciate any advice.

Based on your symptoms, it is important to rule out any serious conditions such as a heart attack. However, the symptoms you are describing, including indigestion, sour water regurgitation, chest pain, shoulder pain, light-headedness, dizziness, and burning sensation in the stomach, are more commonly associated with acidity or acid reflux. To help with your symptoms, you can try taking an over-the-counter antacid like Tums or Rolaids to help neutralize the stomach acid. Additionally, you can take a proton pump inhibitor like Prilosec or Nexium to reduce the production of stomach acid. It is important to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm really stressed about my liver enzyme levels; my SGPT is at 274 and SGOT is 290. I did see an ayurvedic doctor and have been on some herbal medication. I've also been cycling 8 km daily and cut out oily and fatty foods for the past couple of weeks, but instead of getting better, my enzyme levels went up! A month ago, my SGPT was 290 and SGOT was 169. I'm worried because Ive got a job abroad and these high levels are causing issues with my medical tests. Could you suggest any treatment or medication I should consider to bring these levels down quickly? I really need guidance on what I should do next.

A 12.5 mm gallstone and fatty liver may or may not require immediate surgery. The need for surgery depends on whether the gallstone is causing symptoms, and the severity of the fatty liver. If the gallstone is causing symptoms like abdominal pain, nausea, or digestive issues, surgery might be recommended.
