Question

I'm really struggling with my stomach issuesgas, acidity, and constipation. I've visited numerous doctors, but nothing seems to work. All my tests like endoscopy and sonography come back normal, yet I never feel right. I maintain a simple diet and regularly do exercises like jogging, yoga, and pranayam. Despite this, the acidity rises to the upper side of my stomach, making it hard to breathe, and it keeps me up at night. It seriously makes me feel so hopeless sometimes. Can you please advise on what I should do? I dont have a lot of money to see more doctors, so Im desperate for help here.

Question

I've been having some chest pain right in the center of my ribs, and it seems to come and go randomly, lasting just a few minutes each time. It's pretty weird because it also comes with these burps. It's not related to my workouts since I'm usually at the gym without any issues. What could be causing this?

Question

I'm dealing with some gastric issues for the past two days and it's been quite uncomfortable. Could you recommend the best medicine to help with this?
