I've been dealing with a stomach ache for the past couple of days, and it's really starting to worry me. The pain only lasts a few minutes each time it hits, but it's happening multiple times a day at random intervals. It feels like something's tightening up inside my stomach and squeezing it hard for a moment. What could be causing this? Any advice would be really appreciated.

View allI've been dealing with GERD and a left-sided hernia near my navel for about a year now, and it's really affecting my daily life. I'm considering surgery for both issues what are my options to get back to living normally?
For your GERD and left-sided umbilical hernia, surgery is a viable option to alleviate symptoms and improve your quality of life. Surgical options for GERD include Nissen fundoplication, which strengthens the lower esophageal sphincter, and for the umbilical hernia, open or laparoscopic repair with mesh or sutures. Lifestyle adjustments like dietary changes and avoiding trigger foods can also help manage both conditions, especially GERD

I've been feeling this weird fullness in my upper abdomen for the last couple of days. At first, I kind of brushed it off thinking it would go away on its own, but now it's really starting to get on my nerves. Should I be worried or is it something that'll likely pass if I just wait it out a bit longer?
Feeling of fullness in your upper abdomen could be due to gas, indigestion, or mild gastritis. Try eating smaller meals, avoid heavy or spicy foods, and drink plenty of water. If it persists or worsens, consult a doctor to rule out any underlying issues.

I found out I had Hepa B a couple of years back after an hbsag screening, and I was told it might go away by itself. So recently, I got my blood screened again, and the result came back as nonreactive. Could this mean the virus has cleared up on its own? I'm a bit confused and would appreciate some insight.
I'm happy to help clarify this for you. *Understanding Your Hepatitis B Test Results* *Initial Diagnosis (2 years ago)* - You tested positive for Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), indicating an active Hepatitis B infection. *Recent Test Results* - Your recent HBsAg test result is "non-reactive," which means the virus is no longer detectable in your blood. *What Does This Mean?* A non-reactive HBsAg result suggests that: 1. *Viral clearance*: Your body may have cleared the Hepatitis B virus on its own, which is possible in some cases. 2. *Viral suppression*: Alternatively, the virus might still be present but at undetectable levels, possibly due to your immune system's response. However, to confirm whether you've truly cleared the virus, you should undergo further testing, such as: 1. *HBsAb (Hepatitis B surface antibody) test*: This checks for antibodies against the Hepatitis B virus, indicating immunity. 2. *HBV DNA (Hepatitis B virus DNA) test*: This measures the viral load in your blood.
