I've been having slight chest pain on both sides for about a month, along with flank pain, and now abdominal pain on both sides for 56 days. My ultrasound showed acalculous cholecystitis, pancreatitis, and a 3mm kidney stone on the right side. Endoscopy revealed gastritis too. Is there any way to treat cholecystitis without stones? I really don't want to go through surgery.

View allI have multiple gallstones with a large one measuring 10-12 mm but no pain so far just occasional indigestion, acidity, and gas issues. Should I consider surgery now or wait? Could homeopathy be an option or is that not advisable?
It's best to consult with a surgeon and/or your general practitioner to determine the best course of action for your specific situation. While you're currently asymptomatic, a large gallstone can increase the risk of complications like blockages or infections, potentially requiring surgery. Homeopathy is not a scientifically proven treatment for gallstones and may not be effective, according to medical professionals

I've been feeling strange for the past couple of months, and it's happened twice already. I get this itchy feeling in my throat, and there's a heaviness right in the middle of my chest and the tube that leads from my throat to my stomach. It gets really uncomfortable. Breathing feels really tight, although it's still okay, but then I also get this uneasy feeling in my stomach. After about a week, it settles down, but then I start having pain in my lower abdomen. I used pantocid before, which helped, but now I'm confused. Is this a gastric issue, something heart-related, or maybe a breathing problem? Can you offer any advice?

I've been dealing with acid reflux for a while now, and its been quite uncomfortable. Im feeling a bit better since I started treatment last month, but I'm worried about the long-term effects. Does having acid reflux increase my risk of cancer? Im also really curious if there's a way to permanently cure acid reflux or if its something Ill have to manage forever. Could you shed some light on this?
Acid reflux, if left untreated for a long time, can lead to complications such as Barrett's esophagus, which is a risk factor for esophageal cancer. However, with proper management and treatment, the risk of developing cancer can be minimized. There is no permanent cure for acid reflux, but it can be effectively managed with lifestyle changes and medications. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) such as omeprazole (Prilosec) or esomeprazole (Nexium) are commonly used to reduce stomach acid production and provide relief from symptoms. It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding the dosage and duration of treatment to control acid reflux effectively.
