I've been diagnosed with cholesterosis of the gallbladder and deal with daily acid reflux even after eating normal foods. I also have fatty liver should I be worried about needing gallbladder surgery? What are my options for managing this?

View allI've been dealing with these mouth ulcers on my tongue for a while now. I've tried using Clogen lozenges and some weekly antifungal meds for the past three months, but they're just not going away. I've even seen a dentist, and they couldn't find anything wrong. They clear up, but then they're back after a few days. I've also been taking Vitamin B supplements. Plus, Ive been having some digestion issueslike I constantly need to go to the bathroom to clear my bowels. Do you have any idea what might be causing this or any suggestions on what I could try next?
I recommend trying a combination of medications to address the possible underlying causes. You can try using a mouthwash containing Chlorhexidine to reduce oral bacteria and promote healing. Additionally, taking a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole can help with your digestion issues and reduce stomach acid, which may be contributing to the mouth ulcers. For the mouth ulcers specifically, you can also use a topical corticosteroid like Triamcinolone acetonide dental paste to reduce inflammation and promote healing. Make sure to follow the prescribed dosage for each medication.

I've been noticing that I sometimes exhale hot air and feel a slight burning sensation in my chest. Is this something to worry about? Occasionally, I also feel a bit light-headed. Just wondering if this is normal or if I should get it checked out.
Feeling like you're exhaling hot air with a slight burning sensation in your chest, accompanied by lightheadedness, is not typical. Although it might not be a cause for immediate concern, it's essential to explore possible explanations. _Possible Causes_ 1. _Acid reflux_: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can cause stomach acid to flow up into the esophagus, leading to a burning sensation in the chest. 2. _Heartburn_: Similar to acid reflux, heartburn can cause a burning sensation in the chest, especially after eating. 3. _Asthma or COPD_: Respiratory conditions like asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can cause shortness of breath, wheezing, and a burning sensation in the chest. 4. _Anxiety or panic attacks_: Anxiety or panic attacks can cause rapid breathing, lightheadedness, and a sensation of burning or tightness in the chest. 5. _Other medical conditions_: Certain medical conditions, such as pneumonia, bronchitis, or pulmonary embolism, can also cause these symptoms. _What to Do Next_ 1. _Consult a doctor_: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician to discuss your symptoms. 2. _Monitor your symptoms_: Keep a journal to track when your symptoms occur, how long they last, and any potential triggers. 3. _Avoid triggers_: If you suspect that certain foods, activities, or situations trigger your symptoms, try to avoid them. Remember, it's always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to your health. Seek medical attention if you experience: - Severe chest pain or pressure - Difficulty breathing - Dizziness or fainting - Severe lightheadedness

I'm having this really uncomfortable pain in my lower left abdomen, and it seems to be spreading to my back. It hurts even more when I'm sitting down, especially on the back side. I'm not sure why this is happening. Should I be worried about it? What could be causing this kind of pain?
Could be indicative of a kidney stone. I would recommend taking over-the-counter pain relief medication such as Tylenol (acetaminophen) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. It is important to drink plenty of water to help flush out the kidney stone. If the pain persists or worsens, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.
