I've been dealing with throat pain for about a month now because of acid reflux. I tried taking DSR tablets, but they haven't helped. Can you suggest anything else I can do to ease this pain?

View allMy dad is having loose motion and vomiting right now, and it all seemed to kick in at the same time. It's really late, and we don't have any medicine at home, plus all the pharmacies are closed. Do you know of any home remedies that might help him feel better?
For loose motion and vomiting, you can try giving your father oral rehydration solution (ORS) to prevent dehydration. You can make ORS at home by mixing 6 teaspoons of sugar and 12 teaspoon of salt in 1 liter of clean water. Make sure he drinks plenty of this solution to stay hydrated. Please consult a doctor in the morning for further evaluation and management.

Can acid reflux cause heart palpitations? I've been dealing with really bad acidity and it's freaking me out a bit. My GP suggested some tests like an echo, echocardiogram, and blood tests but everything came back normal. Is it possible that the acid reflux could be causing the palpitations or should I be worried about something else?
Yes, acid reflux can cause palpitations. When stomach acid irritates the esophagus, it can lead to discomfort and sensations that may make you feel like your heart is racing or skipping beats. Anxiety and worry about these symptoms can also contribute to palpitations. Since your ECG, echo, and blood tests all came back normal, it's reassuring that there's likely no underlying heart condition causing your palpitations. Managing your acid reflux through lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, and possibly medications as prescribed by your doctor can help alleviate these symptoms. If your palpitations persist or worsen, follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I've been diagnosed with gallstones but want to avoid surgery are there any other treatments that could help? What options do I have besides going under the knife?
If you have gallstones and want to avoid surgery, several nonsurgical options are available, including oral dissolution therapy, endoscopic procedures, and shock wave lithotripsy. These methods may be suitable if you have small cholesterol stones or are not a candidate for surgery.
