I noticed something hard right below my ribs on the right side, but it doesn't hurt. I'm a bit concerned about what it could be. Could you tell me which type of doctor I should see about this?

I've been struggling with stomach bloating for about three years now. It's always accompanied by a lot of flatulence, and over the past year, I've noticed my stools becoming pencil-thin. I go to the bathroom 2-3 times a day, and there's always this slight cramping on the upper left side of my stomach. Could you tell me what might be going on and what steps I should take next?

I'm having some weird symptoms that are really worrying me. Sometimes my stomach makes these burping sounds, and I have this cough-like feeling and a lump in my throat. My chest feels tight, mostly on the left side but sometimes on the right too, and it gets really hard to lie down comfortably. I'm getting anxious and scared that it might be a heart attack or something serious. I haven't been able to sleep well for a long time. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

I have been diagnosed with a stage 2 or 3 hiatus hernia and experience symptoms like chest pain and mild heartburn. Can homeopathy help treat this condition? Also, is surgery the only option if it gets complicated? Would appreciate any doctor recommendations or advice on managing this.
