I'm 22 and have been dealing with gas problems for the past few days. I was admitted to the hospital for similar issues before. Today, since this morning, I've had this sharp pain in the center of my chest. It gets worse when I breathe, sit, or stand up. What could this be, and should I be worried?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux or gastritis, which can cause chest pain along with gas problems. I recommend taking an antacid medication like Tums (calcium carbonate) 500mg tablets for immediate relief of gas and chest pain. You can take 2 tablets as needed, up to 4 times a day. Additionally, you can try avoiding spicy and acidic foods, eating smaller meals, and avoiding lying down right after eating to help manage your symptoms. If the pain persists or worsens, please seek medical attention.

View allI've been dealing with this issue where I keep having this irritating feeling in my throat like there's mucus constantly forming there. I used to get this sensation maybe every 3 or 4 months, but for the past 6 months, it's been happening every single day and it's really affecting my life. On top of that, I've been experiencing what's probably gas reflux, and it's making things even worse. It's become quite miserable, and I'm finding it hard to eat. Do you have any idea what might be going on or how I could get some relief?

I'm dealing with a stomach ache and some chest pain on the right side. I've also got a cold and I'm finding it hard to stand up straight. It's really uncomfortable, and all these symptoms together are worrying me. Could you help me understand what's going on?
Ecg and cardiac markers are advised to the patient. Also tablet levocetrizine 10 mg at bedtime,orally for 5 days is advised . Steam inhalation and saline gargles is also advised to the patient.

I've been struggling with chronic GERD for two years now and it's really affecting my daily life especially the difficulty swallowing food. I've tried medications like Pan tablets and Sucralfate syrup, but they only give temporary relief before the symptoms come back. Is surgery a good option for me at this point? Will it actually provide a permanent solution? The constant discomfort and trouble swallowing from acid reflux are making it hard to function normally.
