I'm experiencing some discomfort and it's making me quite worried. I recently dealt with a lower respiratory infection which is now better, but I've been having these digestion issues since. After I eat, it feels like there's gas building up in my chest. It's strange because there's no pain, just a lot of discomfort. Lately, I've been feeling this tightness or gas build-up in my throat area, or maybe it's the food pipe, again without any pain but really uncomfortable. This tightness is mostly around the lower throat, and sometimes I feel it behind my sternum. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do about it?

I'm having this stomach pain for the past two weeks, and I can't seem to figure out why. It doesn't seem to matter what I eatwhether it's homemade rice and dal or even spicy or sweet foodsthe pain just keeps coming back. It feels a bit like gastric pain sometimes, but there's no diarrhea or vomiting. Even with light or non-masala meals, the pain persists. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

get usg done and get back to me it can be due to gall stones

I've noticed that whenever I eat oily foods, I tend to cough a lot, and there's quite a bit of mucus involved. Sometimes it even feels like there's some mucus stuck in my throat. Is this a normal reaction, or should I be concerned about what's going on?

That says you are allergic to oil,try to switch oil or avoid it completely, visit ENT doctor for appropriate management

I'm dealing with some chest heaviness and trouble breathing, especially in the evenings and at night. Ive had acid reflux before, and now I'm taking doxycycline since I'm COVID positive. My fever's been gone for four days, and my breathing was okay a few days ago, but this chest issue started three days back. My oxygen levels are consistently at 98, so that's good. I took ranidommps and digene last night, which seemed to help, but the tightness and breathing issues came back after lunch today. Any idea what's going on or what I should do?

take one more antacid at night and tomorrow morning
