I've been experiencing this weird feeling of shortness of breath that just comes out of nowhere and then disappears. It's odd because it doesn't mess with my sleep at all - I'm still getting like 8 hours at night. I also make sure to walk for about 2 hours every day and have no other symptoms at all. No fever, no cough, nothing. The strange part is that it only pops up when I'm alone or not doing anything. When I'm busy or eating, it doesn't happen. Ive even checked my pulse, blood pressure, sugar, and oxygen levels, and everything is normal according to my doctor. They just gave me pan 40 and tryptomar tablets. It usually hangs around for 3 to 4 days, then I'm okay for a bit, and out of the blue, it might start up again, maybe in a month or so. I already know I have acid reflux and am on treatment for it, but I still get it sometimes. Can you help me figure out why this might be happening?

I'm a bit worried because today we cooked some paneer, and it seemed fine at first. We didnt notice anything unusual when my mom was preparing it, but once it was cooked and we started eating, it had this tangy smell and a sour taste. I'm concerned about what kind of harm sour paneer might cause? A guest at my house ate some too. Should I be worried about any health issues for us or our guest?
if you have symptoms like vomitting, diarhea then start medicines

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.
That could be GERD avoid late night eating and consume bland diet and maintain healthy lifestyle.
