I've been dealing with pancreatitis and the stress from my personal life is really getting to me. I'm wondering if there's any way I can still have a drink now and then?

Alcohol consumption should be avoided completely if you have pancreatitis, as it can worsen the condition and increase the risk of complications. It is important to prioritize your health and well-being by abstaining from alcohol. Instead, focus on managing stress through healthy coping mechanisms and seeking support from healthcare professionals or counselors.

My ultrasound report says the gall bladder isn't visible but there's a dilated common bile duct measuring 20mm at the porta with a clump of calculi around 39x19mm in the middle part. Should I be worried about this? What does this mean for my condition? I had gallbladder surgery before and now seeing these findings could this be related to my past surgery or is it something new developing? What are the next steps I should take?

Dilated CBD and calculi post-cholecystectomy may need ERCP‚Äîconsult gastroenterologist soon.

I'm really concerned because for the past few years, out of nowhere, I start choking on nothing and end up in a coughing fit that usually makes me gag until I'm sick. This happens every few days. Any idea what could be causing this? It's really starting to worry me.
