My wife had acute gall stone pancreatitis back in 2014 and got her gallbladder removed. All her blood tests and USG reports came back normal, but she still gets really bad leg pain at night and in the mornings. She also has loose motions once a week with a burning feeling in her stomach. Could these issues be related to her past condition or is something else going on?

It's possible that your wife's symptoms could be related to her past history of acute gallstone pancreatitis and gallbladder removal, even if her blood tests and USG are normal. However, it's also important to rule out other potential causes, especially if the symptoms are significant or persistent.

View allMy mom's got an 11mm gallbladder but she doesn't show any symptoms. What options do we have to clear it up? Does she need surgery, or is there a chance it could resolve on its own? I'm really looking for some guidance on the best steps to take.
There is no permanent medical cure for gallstones. Although there are medical measures that can be taken to remove stones or relive symptoms, they are only temporary. If a patient has symptoms from gallstones, surgical removal of the gallbladder is the best treatment. Asymptomatic (producing no symptoms) gallstones do not require treatment.

I was just diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux disease last week and I'm dealing with this burning pain on the left side of my back around the breastbone and I'm also having shortness of breath. The doctor said it's GERD and I'm on medication, which is helping, but I'm still facing this breathing issue. Every 10 minutes or so, I feel like I need to take a deep breath or else there's this pressure and tightness in my chest. My blood tests came back normal with an HB of 13. Why do I feel like taking a deep breath every 10 minutes? Could you suggest any breathing exercises or regular exercises that might help with this?
yes go ahead

I've been dealing with nausea, stomach pressure, acidity, and weight loss even though I've been eating normally. Recently, after getting an upper endoscopy, they found I have antral gastritis and tested positive for H. pylori. So, I'm on Nexpro L, Gaviscon syrup, an H. pylori treatment kit, and a probiotic. It's been 8 days on these meds, with another week to go. While my symptoms have improved and I'm feeling better, I'm still dropping weight. I'm really confused and a bit worried why this is happening. Could it be because of the H. pylori infection? Once the treatment's over, will I be able to gain weight back? I used to weigh around 71 kg last year; now I'm down to 65.5 kg. I also have piles, and it's kind of freaking me out. How should I approach gaining weight again?
Kindly discuss for your concern.
