I've been feeling a weird tightness in my chest and throat, and it's not exactly painful, but it's definitely uncomfortable. The only time I feel some relief is when Im eating, drinking hot drinks, burping, coughing, or sneezing but it only lasts for a short time. I also smoke, and yesterday I noticed a mild sensation in my chest, though I can't tell if it's burning or not. I'm really concerned and need some expert advice to figure out what's going on with me.

I've been dealing with lax esophagitis and pangastritis for 10 years and have been on PPIs the whole time. The side effects from the meds are getting to me should I consider surgery or stick with the PPIs?

Long-term PPI use for esophagitis may cause side effects. Anti-reflux surgery (like fundoplication) is considered when lifestyle and medicines fail.

I've been noticing that I'm experiencing a bunch of issues like hair fall, fatigue, weak bones, frequent urination, and even lower back and stomach pain. I used to masturbate a lot, and I think this might be related. I'm currently seeing an Ayurvedic doctor but since last night, I've started having headaches and more stomach problems, like I can't digest food properly. Every time I eat, I feel the urge to use the washroom and my stomach hurts. My bones feel so weak that I can't lift anything without them starting to hurt. What do you think could be causing all these symptoms, and what should I do?

There is no such relation between your habbit and symptoms that you face, visit Physician for evaluation and appropriate management
