I'm a bit concerned because for the past three days it feels like something's stuck in my chest. It all started after I felt like food was coming back up from my stomach into my food pipe one night. Since then, I've been burping a lot after meals and drinks. What could be going on?

I'm a bit concerned because for the past month my stool has been kind of granular instead of solid. Should I be worried about this? Would love some guidance.

Granular stools for a month can be a concern, and it's great that you're seeking help. Here are some potential causes and next steps: Potential Causes 1. Malabsorption: Issues with nutrient absorption can lead to changes in stool texture. 2. Pancreatitis: Inflammation of the pancreas can cause digestive enzyme deficiencies. 3. Gastrointestinal infections: Bacterial, viral, or parasitic infections can alter stool consistency. 4. Dietary factors: Consuming high amounts of sugar, dairy, or processed foods can affect gut health. 5. Underlying medical conditions: Certain conditions, such as celiac disease, Crohn's disease, or ulcerative colitis, can cause changes in stool texture. Next Steps 1. Consult a gastroenterologist: Schedule an appointment with a specialist to discuss your symptoms and determine the underlying cause. 2. Stool tests: Your doctor may order stool tests to check for infections, inflammation, or malabsorption. 3. Imaging studies: Depending on your symptoms, your doctor may recommend imaging studies, such as an endoscopy or colonoscopy, to visualize your digestive tract. 4. Dietary changes: Your doctor may recommend dietary modifications, such as increasing fiber intake or avoiding trigger foods. 5. Follow-up appointments: Regular follow-up appointments with your doctor will help monitor your symptoms and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

I've had issues with acidity ever since I was 14, and now I'm 22. It gets really bad during my periods and a week before they start. The acidity is so severe I can't even stomach plain rice, and it causes my stomach to bloat. Plus, I get these headaches that make it hard to focus on anything. Could you please advise on what to do about this?

A movable, wobbly lump on the lower left side of your rib cage could be a lipoma (benign fatty tumor), a sebaceous cyst, or a hernia. Less commonly, it could be a sign of a more serious condition, such as a splenic tumor or cyst. Consult a primary care physician or a general surgeon for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.
