View allFound a 9mm gallstone during my company health checkup what should I do next is there any medicine to dissolve it or do I need surgery could this stone cause problems later
A 9mm gallstone found during a health checkup requires follow-up with a doctor. While medication can sometimes dissolve gallstones, especially cholesterol stones, it's not a guaranteed solution and may take months or years. Surgery (cholecystectomy) to remove the gallbladder is often the preferred treatment for symptomatic gallstones, and it's generally more effective than medication. Whether or not the stone will cause problems later depends on whether it causes symptoms, and if so, what kind of symptoms.

I've noticed that every now and then, after I eat, I get this feeling of suffocation where it's hard to breathe, even when I make sure to eat my food slowly. It's starting to worry me and I just can't figure out why it's happening. Could it be something serious, or maybe just how I'm eating? Any advice on what might be going on would be really helpful.
