I've been dealing with a hiatus hernia for the past 2 years and have been taking a lot of antacids, but now I'm noticing side effects like burning mouth syndrome, gum irritation, and low vitamin levels. Can Ayurveda help treat hiatus hernia and reduce the gum burning? Also, I'm in Bangalore any recommendations here? Should I consider surgery for this condition?

Ayurveda can help reduce acidity but structural hernias need surgical correction. Look for centers like SDM Ayurveda or Jindal Naturecure in Bangalore.

I'm dealing with this phlegm in my chest for quite a while now, even though I don't have a cough. It's super annoying, especially when I'm eating, and it's making me feel like I'm going to vomit, sometimes to the point where I end up losing all the food I just ate. What could be causing this? Should I be worried, and what can I do to get rid of it?

I've been having some pain just under my ribs for about a month now, and it's mostly on the right side. It gets worse when I stand up after sitting or bending and feels like there's some kind of movement inside my upper abdomen. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
