I've been dealing with this issue where I'm producing way too much saliva every day, and it's been going on for years. It's like I constantly need to spit, and if I try to swallow it, I start feeling nauseous. I also get this urge to burp a lot. I work out regularly and stay away from smoking and drinking. It's really getting on my nerves having to spit all the time. Any idea what might be causing this or how to make it stop?

Excessive salivation, along with frequent burping and nausea, can be frustrating, but it's important to identify the underlying cause in order to find the right treatment. Start by considering common causes such as GERD, oral health issues, or stressanxiety. You might also want to speak to a healthcare professional, such as a gastroenterologist or ENT specialist, to help pinpoint the cause and explore appropriate treatment options.

I'm a bit worried because I recently found out I have a 3.7mm gall bladder polyp. My doctor told me I don't need further investigations for now and just to check again in six months to see if it grows. But I'm curious about why it might be there in the first place. Should I be doing something more about this now or is it okay to wait?
Elevated ALT (SGPT) levels can be a concern. ALT (SGPT) Levels: Normal range: 0-40 UL (units per liter) Your result: 107 UL Possible Causes: 1. _Liver damage or inflammation_: Elevated ALT levels can indicate liver cell damage or inflammation. 2. _Fatty liver disease_: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or alcoholic liver disease can cause elevated ALT levels. 3. _Medication side effects_: Certain medications, such as statins, antibiotics, or anti-seizure medications, can increase ALT levels. 4. _Other medical conditions_: Thyroid disorders, muscle damage, or other medical conditions can also contribute to elevated ALT levels. Next Steps: 1. _Repeat the test_: To confirm the results, your doctor may recommend repeating the ALT test. 2. _Liver function tests (LFTs)_: Your doctor may order additional LFTs, such as AST (SGOT), bilirubin, or albumin, to assess liver function. 3. _Imaging tests_: Ultrasound or other imaging tests may be recommended to evaluate liver health. 4. _Consult a hepatologist or gastroenterologist_: If your doctor suspects liver damage or disease, they may refer you to a specialist for further evaluation and guidance. Lifestyle Changes: 1. _Maintain a healthy weight_: If you're overweight or obese, losing weight can help reduce liver inflammation. 2. _Exercise regularly_: Regular physical activity can improve insulin sensitivity and reduce liver inflammation. 3. _Avoid excessive alcohol consumption_: Limit or avoid alcohol to reduce liver damage. 4. _Eat a balanced diet_: Focus on whole, nutrient-dense foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.

I'm a bit concerned because for the past three days it feels like something's stuck in my chest. It all started after I felt like food was coming back up from my stomach into my food pipe one night. Since then, I've been burping a lot after meals and drinks. What could be going on?
That could be GERD, visit Gastroenterologist for appropriate treatment.
