Question

I'm experiencing this mild pain around my ribs on both sides, and it's been bothering me whenever I move. I got a chest X-ray, but the results seemed unclear since it was just black and white. I also struggle a lot with acidity and gastric issues, and there's this burning sensation in the middle of my chest. Plus, the pain seems to extend to my right shoulder, coming from the chest area. I'm a bit worried and not sure what's going on. Could you advise on what might be causing these symptoms and which type of doctor I should see to get this figured out?

Question

My mom's been dealing with a burning sensation for the past 7-8 months and the doctor thinks it's due to acidity but it hasnt gotten any better. Shes also on meds for diabetes, high blood pressure, and a 14 mm kidney stone. Heres what shes taking: Glycomet 250, Azulix, Clopivas, Rebagem, Panplus D 40, Nikoran 5, Stonex, Laregab AT LS, Olmat, and Nurokind. I'm worried because nothing seems to help with the burning. Could this mix of medications be causing it, or could it be something else? What should we do next?
