I've been feeling a bit uneasy ever since this incident a few months back when I was eating crunchy peanut butter and it got stuck in my food pipe. I experienced chest pain for about a week after that. Though it's been three months now, I'm still feeling kind of uneasy. I sometimes notice a vibration on the lower left side of my chest and have been dealing with this back pain for a couple of weeks. Is this something I should be worried about, or could it be related to acidity? Would really appreciate any advice you might have.

I've been having a lot of issues with my stomach being really bloated and hard, like it's filled with gas all the time. It's starting to feel like a rock, and it's making me really uncomfortable. Even when I eat normal foods, I end up with acidity. I talked to my general practitioner, and I've been taking Esoz D when the bloating and acidity hit, but I'm worried its not really solving the issue. Is there something else I can do to get this under control? Should I be looking at my diet or something else?

You may be experiencing symptoms of excessive gas and bloating, which can lead to acidity. In addition to taking esoz D, you can also try taking simethicone (Gas-X) to help relieve gas and bloating. For acidity, you can consider taking ranitidine (Zantac) to reduce stomach acid production. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions for each medication.
