I'm really confused about how long I should wait after recovering from typhoid before I can drink alcohol again. I've been getting conflicting advice from different people. Can you give me a clear and practical answer on this?

It's generally recommended to avoid alcohol for at least 3-6 months after recovering from typhoid to allow your liver and body to fully recover from the infection

I've been experiencing this tightness or squeezing sensation in the upper right side of my chest for over a year now, and it seems to be getting worse. My chest X-ray came out normal, but I also have Gilbert's syndrome, which is adding to my fatigue. I'm really worried about what's going on. Could you help figure out what's causing this?

Ecg and chest x-ray pa view is advised to the patient.

I've been dealing with chest pains for the past year and just recently, theyve gotten really intense. I've had all sorts of tests done ECG, echo, TMT, chest X-ray, and blood work like hscrp and cholesterol and everything comes back normal or borderline. Heres the thing, when I take gas tablets, I feel a lot better, but I can't shake off this anxious feeling, and I keep thinking negatively. Ive seen about ten cardiologists, and they all say my heart is fine, but the anxiety just wont go away. Is this heart pain or something like GERD? My heart races when I hear bad news, and it's making me uneasy even though there's no family history of heart issues. I'm 29. The pain sometimes hits my rib side, other times its in the upper chest, and it's sharp. Bloating seems to make it feel easier, and when I overthink, my breathing feels weird but it settles down in about 45 minutes. What could be causing all this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety along with your chest pain. The fact that your cardiac tests have come back normal is reassuring. To address your symptoms, you can try taking an antacid medication for your possible GERD symptoms and an anti-anxiety medication for your anxiety symptoms. For your chest pain relief, you can take over-the-counter antacids like Tums (calcium carbonate) as needed for gas relief. For your anxiety symptoms, you can try an anti-anxiety medication like Xanax (alprazolam) at a low dose as prescribed by a doctor. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga may also help alleviate your symptoms.
