I've been experiencing this pain in my left side rib area since last week. Could you help me figure out why this might be happening and what could be causing it? What kind of treatment should I consider, or is there a specific type of doctor I should see for this?

View allI've been taking rabeprazole and domperidone for a year now because of my hiatal hernia, but I'm only 22. Is surgery a better option or will I have to stay on these meds forever? How long is it safe to keep taking them?
You’re young, and long-term PPI use can affect bone health, B12, and magnesium levels. If symptoms persist despite meds, consider surgery.

I've been dealing with some discomfort lately where I get a lot of acidity, and the gas won't release, causing sharp pain around my food pipe. I'm really not sure what to do about it. Are there specific foods I should avoid to help with this?
To help alleviate these symptoms, you can take an antacid like Tums (calcium carbonate) to neutralize the excess stomach acid. Additionally, you can take simethicone, found in Gas-X, to help break up the gas bubbles and facilitate their passage out of the body. To prevent further episodes, it is advisable to avoid foods that can trigger acidity and gas such as spicy foods, carbonated beverages, fried foods, and foods high in fat. Instead, opt for a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins to help maintain a healthy digestive system.

I've been dealing with some breathing issues and chest tightness over the past couple of weeks, especially after eating. It's like I need to yawn just to feel like I get a full breath sometimes, and there's also a little bit of chest pain here and there. My thyroid's fine, and I've never had asthma. Two years ago, I had the same kind of problems and saw a doctor who thought it was anxiety and gastritis. He gave me antacids, and that cleared it up back then. Could this really just be the same thing happening again? Any advice would be great.
according to your symptoms its because of gastritis only, kindly take tablet pantoprazole once a day for 5 days
