My 63-year-old mom has small cystic lesions in the caudate lobe of her liver. Do these always require surgery or can they be treated with medication? I'm worried about the next steps for her.

Small liver cysts, especially in the caudate lobe, are often asymptomatic and don't require treatment. They are typically benign, and only large or symptomatic cysts may need intervention. Surgery is not usually needed for small, simple cysts.

I'm really concerned about my breathing issues that have been going on for 8 months now. It gets worse when I lie down, and when I wake up, I find myself burping a lot. There's also this feeling like somethings stuck in my throat every couple of days. After doing physical activities, I struggle with rapid breathing. I've even had experiences with chest tightness and a bloated stomach. Plus, I can't sleep in air-conditioned rooms or in cooler temperatures. What could be going on, and what should I do?
