Question

I'm feeling some really sharp pain under my ribs, like being poked with a nail. It's happening between my 3rd and 2nd last rib, and I've been dealing with it for about 45 years. Sometimes it happens every 2-3 months, but other times it's more regular. I'm starting to worry if it might be something wrong with my liver, or maybe it's just gas-related? I also have constipation issues. What could be going on?

Question

I'm having this weird issue where I'm getting hot air from my anus. It's really uncomfortable to sit down, but I'm sure it's not piles because I've already had that checked out. Can you help me figure out what's going on and how I can deal with it?

Question

I'm really concerned because for the past few years, out of nowhere, I start choking on nothing and end up in a coughing fit that usually makes me gag until I'm sick. This happens every few days. Any idea what could be causing this? It's really starting to worry me.
