I'm dealing with some gas that's been trapped in my chest and upper back on the left side for the past two days, and it's making my chest feel really heavy. I've been taking pantoprazole 40mg to help with the gas since then, but it's just not clearing up this heaviness in my chest. Is there any medicine you can recommend that I can take right now? I already took pantoprazole at 8:30 am and had breakfast around 9:30 am. Would really appreciate some advice on what I can do next.

Can I still have small amounts of white flour or alcohol like wine, beer, or vodka if I have gallstones, especially on days when symptoms flare up? What foods should I stick to if I'm delaying surgery for now?
Avoid white flour and alcohol during gallstone flare-ups; stick to low-fat, fiber-rich, bland foods.

I've been dealing with an anal fissure for about a month and a half now. I've been trying homeopathic medicine for the past two weeks, but I haven't noticed any improvement. Should I stick with what I'm taking or consider other treatment options? I'm starting to get worried about the lack of progress.
