I'm supposed to get an operation as my doctor recommended, but I'm really not comfortable with endoscopy surgery. On top of that, I'm working and it's tough to get time off. Is there any alternative option that might work for me?

I have a stone in my gallbladder and the doctor said it might be affecting my pancreas too. What's the best way to remove it should I try medicines or go for surgery? If medicines work, can you suggest some tablet names? And if surgery is better, could you recommend a good hospital near Vellore or Chennai?

I've been yawning a lot lately, like way more than usual, and I'm starting to wonder if it's linked to my digestion somehow. I've been feeling some pressure in my neck and back, but it seems to ease up when I yawn. Could too much gas in my body cause this? I'm trying to figure out what's going on.

Excessive yawning can be linked to indigestion or gas buildup, as it may trigger the body to attempt to regulate oxygen levels and relieve pressure. The pressure in your neck and back may be due to muscle tension, and yawning could help release that tension, offering temporary relief. If these symptoms persist, its a good idea to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying digestive issues.
