Question

I'm kind of worried because I've had nosebleeds a couple of times now. The first time it happened was back in February, and then it happened again just this May, lasting about 5 minutes and around 34 drops. On top of that, I've been dealing with stomach pain before and after meals. I work at a power plant and usually eat at the office canteen. Do you think there's something serious going on?

Question

I've had this stomach issue for 7 months where it feels like there's a constant knot in my upper stomach and throat. Did an endoscopy 5 months ago showing small hiatus hernia and some erosions. Tried multiple meds like rabeprazole, levosulpride, montilucast for months with no relief. One doctor now suggests surgery but I'm unsure. What could be causing this persistent discomfort and is surgery really needed?

Question

My mom has gallstones and I'm really worried about her. Surgery seems scary are there any other effective treatments or natural remedies that could help dissolve the stones or manage her symptoms? What would you recommend as the best option?
