I've been diagnosed with Laryngopharyngeal Reflux and I'm currently taking the prescribed medication. I'm a bit confused and worried because I was diagnosed just by the doctor looking into my throat. Is that normal for an LPR diagnosis? My symptoms include frequent coughing, a lot of saliva, and irritation in my throat. I'm particularly concerned about the redness in my throat. Is that a common symptom of LPR? How long does it usually take for my throat to heal from this condition? The doctor advised me to take RABESEC D SR once daily for 20 days, but I'm still feeling anxious about all this. Also, is it okay to take Gaviscon Peppermint? I'd really appreciate any advice as I'm quite concerned about my health.

View allI've been told I have diverticulitis, and I've noticed it hurts more when I'm sitting compared to lying down. Is there something about sitting that puts extra pressure on my colon?
It is most likely that when you sit the position causes a touch or increased pressure over the diverticulitis which may cause the pain. These steps may help in the ailment: - Rest well - A liquid diet may be of help during this time period as it may be easier to digest a liquid diet, you can slowly increase to solid food depending on how you tolerate it. - Drink adequate amount of water, aim to rink 2.5 - 3 lietrs of water per day - Prunes or prune juice may serve as natural laxatives, which would help in easier bowel movements - Have a low-fat diet since fat slows down the passage of food through the intestine. - Eat low-bulk foods such as broths and low-fiber breads - Cooked vegetables, cooked fruits, and apples would help with an inflamed intestine - Avoid milk and milk products (yogurts and cheeses),nuts, corn, popcorn, and seeds which could worsen your illness

I've been experiencing chest pain when I move my upper body, and if I press lightly on my chest, it sometimes makes me burp. It's been worrying me a bit, and I'm not sure what could be causing it. Could it be something serious or just something minor? Would love to get your thoughts on what might be happening.
