I have had GERD for approximately 15 years and have had several endoscopies, including one that detected a small segment of Barrett's esophagus (no dysplasia). My last endoscopy, almost 6 years ago, did not detect Barrett's esophagus. I am currently experiencing increased chest pain and heartburn due to stress and anxiety. Given my history, age, and symptoms, am I most likely overreacting or is there a real reason to suspect esophageal cancer?

I accidentally ingested rubbing alcohol from a nail salon. I tasted it on my mouth and tongue, and my lips feel weird. I have GERD and my chest has been hurting, but it's not new. Will I be okay, and is there anything I can do to make the taste go away?

I had knee replacement surgery 5 weeks ago and have been having trouble falling asleep since then. I lay in bed tossing and turning and feeling tingly for hours. I have never had a problem falling asleep in the past. What could be causing this and what can I do to improve my sleep?
