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?

View allI'm really struggling with this pain I've had for a month now. I've seen several doctors, and they've given me tablets, but nothing seems to help. I don't have a cough or fever, just this persistent pain in my right upper abdomen. Sometimes the pain spreads to my back and other times to my right chest. I'm worried if I might have broken ribs or a liver issue. What do you think I should do?
it might be due to gastritis, take tablet pantop for 5 days

I'm really worried about my grandmother. She's 56 and has diabetes. Last year, while she was swallowing her prescribed pills, one got stuck in her food pipe. This went unnoticed until it happened a second time, so we thought it might be a stroke. We took her to an ENT specialist and all tests, like the CT scan, came back normal. But now it has happened twice again, first with pills and then with food. This time the doctor has suggested an endoscopy. We haven't done it yet. Could you help me understand what might be going on with her?
Usually in adults foreign body inside windpipe or lower down are expelled by powerful cough reflex. It's unlikely that it will stay in airway without any symptoms. Probably you have injured your upper airway while coughing. Usually it will resolve on its own within few days
