I had an endoscopy in January that showed mild gastritis but no Barrett's. I've been experiencing daily heartburn and acid reflux for the last 2-3 months, especially overnight. Could this be Barrett's, or is it unlikely given the January results? Also, is it safe to drink alcohol while taking 40 mg of pantoprazole daily?

It is unlikely that you have developed Barrett's esophagus since your January endoscopy, as Barrett'...

I think I have trapped air in my upper diaphragm. It moves around and comes and goes. Feels better when I lie down. I'm worried that it may be heart related though it probably isn't. What could be causing this and how can I manage it?

My lips feel very sensitive, not burning but uncomfortable. I work in a hot area, so I think it might be sunburn, but I'm not sure. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have been experiencing tiredness for nearly 2 years, initially thought to be due to sleep apnea, but recently diagnosed with stage 3A chronic kidney disease (CKD) in April 2023. My current glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is 55, and my doctor suggests a 'wait and see' approach. I am concerned about the progression of CKD and wonder if starting treatment like Farxiga in the earlier stages could prevent it from advancing to stage 4. What would you recommend?

Is it safe to take 10 mg of Valium and 5-325 mg of hydrocodone/acetaminophen together as prescribed by my doctor for a quick, in-office procedure while I'm awake? If I'm too scared to risk it, are there other pain options comparable to this combination, such as a higher dose of Advil or Tylenol? How long will these drugs stay in my system, and should I be concerned about risks or side effects when I go home?
