I've been feeling like there's something in my throat, almost like a lump or leftover food. Its kind of weird, and I also notice these small burps or like there's something stuck that makes me want to manually burp. Lately, I've been having some gas issues too, especially after I eat. Any idea what's going on?

Your symptoms suggest acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), where stomach acid flows back into the throat, causing discomfort, lump sensation, and burping; consider antacids, proton pump inhibitors, or H2 blockers, and lifestyle changes like avoiding trigger foods, eating smaller meals, and elevating your head while sleeping.

I've been dealing with acidity for the past six months and I'm getting a bit worried. I've tried staying away from hot milk products like tea and coffee, and that seems to help a little. Whenever it's really bad, I take a PAN 40 tablet and mix some Eno in water. But sometimes I also have this chest pain, especially when I lie down. Are there any medications or lifestyle or food changes you'd suggest? Should I keep using PAN and Eno? Do they have any side effects I should know about?

I've been having pain on my right side for about two weeks now, especially when I lay on my left side. It's pretty uncomfortable, and I'm starting to worry. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

The persistent pain on your right side, exacerbated by lying on your left side, could be related to various factors, including muscle strain, gallbladder issues, kidney stones, or even a herniated disk; consider consulting a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation, including physical examination and potentially imaging tests, to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

I felt a hard lump in the back of my throat, kind of like a bone, and I can touch it with my finger. I have Achalasia, and it's been really tough for me to eat and drink because of the pain. Do you think this lump is related to that, or could it be something I should be worried about?
