I've been feeling this heaviness and tightness on the left side of my chest for over a month now. It all started after eating some oily food. In the mornings, when my stomach is empty, I feel fine, but after breakfast, the heaviness kicks in, though it's not always persistent. Sometimes, I feel normal again. Can you help me figure out what's going on and suggest any treatments or medications? I'm getting a bit concerned.

Chest heaviness and tightness, especially after consuming oily food, may indicate gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acid reflux, or dyspepsia; consider consulting a gastroenterologist

I've had gallstones for 10 months now and tried homeopathic treatment from four different doctors some gave constitutional remedies, others specific gallstone medicines. While it helped with gas and pain, my stones actually increased from 4-5 to over 10. The biggest is 13mm and the rest are around 8-10mm. Is there still hope with homeopathy, or should I consider surgery as my last option? Can Ayurvedic medicine dissolve stones larger than 10mm?
A 13 mm stone in the gallbladder is considered a medium-sized stone, posing a moderate risk of complications. While it may not always necessitate immediate surgery, it warrants careful monitoring and may require surgical intervention if symptoms develop.

I'm really confused about how long I should wait after recovering from typhoid before I can drink alcohol again. I've been getting conflicting advice from different people. Can you give me a clear and practical answer on this?
It's generally recommended to avoid alcohol for at least 3-6 months after recovering from typhoid to allow your liver and body to fully recover from the infection
