View allI've been experiencing this sharp stabbing pain under my right rib for about a week now. It really hurts when I move, laugh, or take deep breaths. The only thing that somewhat helps is Advil, but the pain is still there, just less intense. I've tried waiting it out, but it doesn't seem to go away, and I can't lay down on either side because it hurts. I'm really not sure what's going on, and I'm a bit worried. Any ideas on what this could be?

I'm really worried because for the last couple of weeks, I've been experiencing this burning sensation and pain right in the middle of my chest, and I'm also feeling pain in my right shoulder and just below it. My ECG and troponin levels are completely normal, so I'm not sure what else it could be. I'm taking medication for acid reflux, but I'm still feeling pain and a sense of fullness in my chest. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
From your description, it sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In addition to the medication you are already taking for acid reflux, I recommend adding a proton pump inhibitor such as omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast to help further reduce stomach acid production and alleviate your symptoms. You can also consider taking an antacid like Tums as needed for immediate relief of heartburn. It's important to avoid trigger foods that may worsen your symptoms, such as spicy or acidic foods, caffeine, and alcohol. Additionally, elevating the head of your bed while sleeping and avoiding lying down right after meals can also help. If your symptoms persist despite these measures, further evaluation by a gastroenterologist may be necessary.

My friend had an endoscopy last week and they found a small hiatal hernia with some LAK lesions. They've been dealing with gastric issues for 3 years now antacids haven't helped at all. Is this something that can improve with meditation or lifestyle changes, or is surgery the only option? How serious is this condition?
A small hiatal hernia, especially with some LAK lesions (likely meaning low-grade acute inflammation), may be managed with lifestyle changes and medication, and surgery isn't always the first option. While antacids might not have been effective, other treatments like H2 blockers or proton pump inhibitors could be helpful. Meditation and lifestyle adjustments, such as weight management, can also help manage symptoms.
