Is it possible for the heaviness in my chest to be related to gastric issues or anxiety? I've been experiencing this chest heaviness for the past three months, and my heart tests have come back normal. I'm trying to figure out what might be causing it. Any ideas?

Yes, chest heaviness can be caused by both gastric problems and anxiety. For gastric issues, you can try taking antacids like Ranitidine 150mg twice daily before meals to reduce stomach acid. For anxiety, you can try Escitalopram 10mg once daily in the morning to help manage your symptoms. It is important to also make lifestyle changes such as avoiding trigger foods for gastric issues and practicing relaxation techniques for anxiety.

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 two gallstones around 910 mm in size and want to explore non-surgical options to remove them. What are my best alternatives to surgery for getting rid of these stones?
Liver flushes aren’t proven—gallstones ≥9 mm often require surgery; don’t delay if symptomatic.
