I've been diagnosed with a gallbladder stone and heard surgery might be the only option. Lately, I've been dealing with acidity issues, which isn't usual for me, and sometimes it feels like I'm not getting enough oxygen when I try to take deep breaths. Could the breathing trouble be related to the acidity or the gallbladder stone?

It's common to experience acidity issues when you have gallbladder stones, and while surgery is a frequent recommendation for gallstones, it's not the only option. It's important to discuss both the acidity and gallstone issues with your doctor, as they may be related, and various treatment options exist for both.

I'm trying to figure out what the medicine department at a hospital like AIIMS or RML is all about. What do they specialize in exactly? If someone has a stomach ache, is it okay for them to go to the medicine department?

I've been doing annual medical tests and noticed that my Bilirubin levels are always high. Aside from that, everything else seems fine. My recent test results showed a Total Bilirubin of 2.57, with 0.63 Direct and 1.94 Indirect. Also, my 25OH Vitamin D Total is really low at 8.99 ngml, while the normal range is 30-100 ngml. Is this something to worry about? Do I need to make any changes? I already practice yoga for about 10 hours a week. What do you think?

May be you have congenital hyperbiliubinemia. Vitamin D supplementation is required

I'm having trouble sometimes with taking deep breaths. It's easier when I yawn, but other times it's really tough. My pulmonary function test came back normal, and my oxygen levels are good too. But I've also noticed that whenever I eat, there's this smell and sound from my mouth, reminding me of acidity or gastric issues. Could these be related, and what should I do about it?

Probable diagnosis is GERD .Patient is advised tab pan d ,orally for 14 days and syrup sucralfate 10 ml thrice daily for 7 days .
