View allI'm having this awful pain in my upper abdomen, right chest, and back whenever I breathe or move, and I think it might be due to gastric issues. Do you have any advice or remedies that could help with this?

I've been dealing with GERD for 3 years now and it's really affecting my breathing. I've been on acid medications but they don't seem to help much - the issue keeps coming back and sometimes gets really bad. Are there any surgical options for this or should I stick to medication?
If GERD symptoms like breathing difficulties persist despite medication, surgical options like Nissen fundoplication may be considered. However, a thorough evaluation by a doctor is crucial to determine the best course of action, as factors like the severity of your GERD, potential complications, and individual health factors need to be assessed

I'm a 31-year-old woman considering laparoscopic surgery to remove just my gallstones without taking out the gallbladder. Will I be okay long-term or is it better to remove the whole gallbladder? Also, could this cause any issues if I have a second pregnancy later?
Removing just the gallstones without the gallbladder is generally discouraged, as the gallbladder is not vital, and removing it can lead to a simpler, more straightforward procedure. While you can live with the gallbladder and just remove the stones, studies show that removal of the gallbladder is the most reliable long-term solution for gallstones. Furthermore, removing the gallbladder doesn't pose long-term problems for women, and it is unlikely to cause any issues with future pregnancies
