I've been dealing with GERD for about 7 months, and I've been switched between a few different antacids during that time. My symptoms have gotten much better lately, and my appetite is finally good again. But now I'm having issues with my menstrual cyclegoing from amenorrhea to oligomenorrhea over the past monthand I'm also feeling a bit drowsy. Could this be because of the Levosulpiride I'm taking? I'm not sure if I should keep on with the treatment or consider stopping it. What do you think?

Levosulpiride can indeed cause hormonal imbalances leading to menstrual irregularities like amenorrhea or oligomenorrhea in some cases. Since you have developed these symptoms after starting Levosulpiride, it is possible that it could be the cause. I recommend discussing this with your doctor to explore alternative medications for your GERD that do not have this side effect.

I've been feeling this cramping-like pain on the right side of my abdomen, and my doctor advised I get an ultrasound and some blood work done, including an LFT. The results came back, and everything looks normal, even my liver size. But then it says I've got a Grade 3 fatty liver. Is it normal to have such a thing when the other tests are fine? How common is this, and what should I be doing about it? Could there be some underlying serious issue I should be worried about?

I've been feeling this burning sensation in my stomach along with constant burping, and it's making me really uncomfortable. It also feels like there's this gurgling in my chest and throat. When I drink water, I notice a sort of gurgle as it reaches my stomach, almost like there's bubbling happening inside. Could this be something serious, or maybe just indigestion?
