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?

take tablet zerodol and tablet pantop for 3 days

I had my gallbladder removed recently and now I'm dealing with a lot of indigestion and stomach issues. I've heard bile salt supplements and choline might help but I'm not sure which ones to take or how much. Can you recommend specific types or brands that would work best for post-surgery digestion problems? Also, are there any side effects I should watch out for?

yes advised ,conservative therapy.
