I've got this really sharp, needle-like pain in my stomach, and it's been going on since yesterday. Could this be something serious or is it likely to be something that might just pass? Should I be doing something specific to help with the pain?

Lumps in the armpits can be caused by various factors, ranging from harmless to potentially serious conditions. Possible causes include:
- Infected lymph nodes
- Cysts or abscesses
- Lipomas (benign fatty tumors)
- Breast cancer (rarely)

To determine the cause and appropriate treatment, consult a:
- General Surgeon

- Dermatologist (for skin-related issues)
Precautions:

View allI've been dealing with a hiatus hernia for the past 2 years and have been taking a lot of antacids, but now I'm noticing side effects like burning mouth syndrome, gum irritation, and low vitamin levels. Can Ayurveda help treat hiatus hernia and reduce the gum burning? Also, I'm in Bangalore any recommendations here? Should I consider surgery for this condition?
Ayurveda can help reduce acidity but structural hernias need surgical correction. Look for centers like SDM Ayurveda or Jindal Naturecure in Bangalore.

I'm having breathing problems and it's been going on for a week now. I even went for an ECG and it came back normal. I've dealt with gastritis before and was on meds for it. Could this gastritis be causing my shortness of breath?
Yes, gastritis and other gastrointestinal issues like acid reflux can sometimes cause or contribute to shortness of breath. This happens due to the proximity of the stomach to the diaphragm, which can become irritated and lead to feelings of chest discomfort or shortness of breath. Since your ECG is normal, its less likely that your symptoms are heart-related. However, its important to manage your gastritis effectively and monitor your symptoms. If your breathing problems persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation to rule out other potential causes and ensure you receive appropriate treatment.
