I've been experiencing some pain right in the middle of my chest, and it's been happening whenever I eat spicy or non-veg dishes. It's been going on for a few days now, and I'm starting to get worried. Could it be something to do with the food, or is it something I should be more concerned about?

View allI've been having this non-cardiac pain on the left side of my chest for years now. I've done various tests like X-rays, ECG, blood tests, and PFT, and they all came back normal. The doctors tell me it's nothing to worry about and suggest I just need to distract myself. Some have even mentioned it could be gas. But this pain feels suffocating, and it usually hits when I'm resting and thinking about it. Strangely enough, I can run for an hour without any issues. It's just really frustrating and concerning. Any idea what could be happening?
It sounds like you may be experiencing musculoskeletal chest pain, especially since all your tests have come back normal. This type of pain can be caused by inflammation in the muscles or joints in the chest wall. To help relieve your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen. Additionally, you can apply a warm compress to the painful area and practice relaxation techniques to help manage any stress or anxiety that may be contributing to your symptoms. If the pain persists, you can also try using a topical pain relief gel containing diclofenac, applying it to the affected area up to 3-4 times a day. Remember to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the product packaging.

I'm really worried because I accidentally swallowed some chewing gum earlier. I know people say not to swallow it, but it happened so quickly. I've been drinking a lot of water since then and am wondering if that will help the gum get digested and pass through on its own. Do you think it will just come out naturally or is there something else I should be doing? Id really appreciate your advice on this.
Montair LC and Allegra-M are both antihistamines used to treat allergies, but they have some differences. Key differences:* 1. Levocetirizine (in Montair LC) is more sedating than Fexofenadine (in Allegra-M). 2. Montair LC is often prescribed for asthma, while Allegra-M is primarily for allergies. 3. Allegra-M has a faster onset of action (1-2 hours) compared to Montair LC (2-4 hours).
