I've been feeling this heaviness in my chest for a few days now, and it gets more noticeable when I eat. It's not affecting my breathing or swallowing, but I also have this ticklish sensation deeper in my neck that gargling hasn't helped with. Could this be something I should worry about?

I'm really struggling with this pain I've had for a month now. I've seen several doctors, and they've given me tablets, but nothing seems to help. I don't have a cough or fever, just this persistent pain in my right upper abdomen. Sometimes the pain spreads to my back and other times to my right chest. I'm worried if I might have broken ribs or a liver issue. What do you think I should do?

it might be due to gastritis, take tablet pantop for 5 days

I've been diagnosed with hiatus hernia and gastritis and my doctor prescribed meds but the pain hasn't improved much in the last week. How long does it usually take for the meds to work? Also wondering about the approximate cost for laparoscopic hiatus hernia surgery in Bangalore since I might need it if this doesn't get better

Around 4-6 weeks .Cost varies between 55k-1.5L.

I've been feeling like there's something stuck in my throat near my collarbone for the past couple of days, and I've been dealing with some mild gastric issues too. Could these be connected somehow? Should I be worried, or is there anything I can try at home to feel better?

use pantop
