I've been feeling this heaviness and tightness on the left side of my chest for over a month now. It all started after eating some oily food. In the mornings, when my stomach is empty, I feel fine, but after breakfast, the heaviness kicks in, though it's not always persistent. Sometimes, I feel normal again. Can you help me figure out what's going on and suggest any treatments or medications? I'm getting a bit concerned.

Chest heaviness and tightness, especially after consuming oily food, may indicate gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acid reflux, or dyspepsia; consider consulting a gastroenterologist

I'm having some trouble and could use your advice. Every time I go to the toilet, there's blood, and I'm really worried it might be piles. I've tried using this cream called beclomethasone, but it hasn't helped at all. Do you have any advice on other ways I can find relief or should I be doing something different?

I've been having this uneasy feeling on the left side of my stomach for the past four months. It's mostly a lot of gas and acidity. I just got an ultrasound done, and it says I have a fatty liver. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I should do next?
