I've had two endoscopies and my doctor diagnosed me with GERD. They prescribed some tablets, but I'm still struggling with symptoms like constant upper stomach discomfort, feeling like my stomach is always full, and hardly ever burping even after eating. Talking makes me tired, and I can't relax even when taking deep breaths my chest expands, but my stomach muscles stay tense. Sometimes my throat feels tight too. I read about fundoplication surgery for GERD do I really need it, or can tablets still help? I'm really worried about this.

It's understandable to be worried when your GERD symptoms persist despite medication. Fundoplication surgery, which involves wrapping the upper part of the stomach around the lower esophagus, can be an effective treatment option for persistent GERD symptoms. However, it's not always the first approach, and medication may still be sufficient for some. A thorough discussion with your doctor is crucial to determine the best course of action for your individual situation.

View allI usually avoid eating fruits because I'm not a fan, but the other day my friend's mom insisted that I try some papaya. Now, I'm dealing with a pretty bad stomachache and I feel bloated. Do you think the stomach pain is from eating the papaya? How can I get some relief and feel better soon?
Actually pappaya is good for health but some are irratable to pappaya , if you get same symptoms next its better to avoid rather than taking medicines

I'm really worried about my recent test results. My SGPT is at 82, my SGOT is normal, but my GGT is 158, and my LDH is 458. On top of that, my triglycerides are at 178. What does this all mean, and what should I do next?
See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I'm feeling this weird tingling sensation under my left rib cage. Every time I lie on my left side, it feels like something's there, like a slight pressure or touch. I looked it up and it mentioned something about the spleen. Who would be the best specialist to consult about this?
