I've been noticing something strange with my stomach lately. It moves up and down kind of like a heartbeat but not the usual rhythm you get from breathing. After I eat, it feels like it's more intense, almost like some veins are gathering and feel heavy. This movement continues all day, usually at a normal pace. At first, I thought it was my actual heartbeat, but even when my pulse is 72 bpm, the movement doesn't stop. I looked it up online, and it mentioned something about an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Could that be what I'm experiencing?

I'm a bit worried as I just found out that my AG ratio in the liver function test is 1.41. I'm also dealing with psoriasis. Can you help me understand what this means and what steps I should take next?

An AG (AlbuminGlobulin) ratio of 1.41 is slightly below the normal range (1.5-2.5), indicating a possible imbalance in liver protein production or increased globulin levels; in the context of psoriasis, this could be related to chronic inflammation

I've been dealing with this H. Pylori infection and gastritis, and I'm currently on treatment for it. Today, I've started experiencing some light chest pain and a lot of yawning. I'm really worried these might be signs of something serious like a heart attack. Could this be related to my current condition or something else?

no they are not symptoms of heart attack
