I'm feeling this pain and a choking sensation right in the middle of my chest, and I just can't eat or drink anything. It's like there's air trapped in there sometimes. What's going on with me?

It sounds like you may have severe acid reflux or possibly an esophageal spasm. Avoid eating or drinking for now, and sit upright. Try sipping on warm water to ease discomfort, and seek immediate medical attention to rule out any cardiac or severe gastrointestinal issues.

Question

I've been having some issues for about a month now with not being able to completely pass my stools. Even when I try hard, it feels like my bowels aren't getting fully emptied, and I'm constantly feeling tired and sleepy. There's also this pain that's been persistent in my legs, right side of my stomach, and back area. I've noticed I'm coughing more often than usual too. Sometimes my lips feel a little burnt, and I keep getting this odd taste in my mouth. I often feel the urge to have a bowel movement, but when I get to the bathroom, the feeling just slows down. I can't seem to pass gas completely either, and it's like I can feel the gas moving around in my stomach. What could be causing all this?

Question

I've got a few concerns about my liver tests. My SGOT is 66 and SGPT is 106. I'm a female and don't really have any other liver-related symptoms aside from some acidity troubles. My globulin level is at 4 and the albumin-globulin ratio is 1.0. Do you think I should get more tests done, or is there anything specific I should be worried about?

Question

I'm having some really bad backaches at night, and it feels like there's gas building up in my back. When I press certain spots on my back, the gas only seems to release through my mouth, which is really odd. It normally doesn't release otherwise and it's messing with my sleep. This all started happening after I had a C-section. What could be going on? Is there something I can do to fix it?
