I've been having this pain under my left rib that keeps coming and going, and it's been like this for a few days now. It actually just got worse today. Any idea what might be causing it? It's starting to worry me a bit.

Aching under the rib on the left side, with pain coming and going since the last few days could be due to various reasons such as muscle strain, gastritis, or even a possible issue with the spleen. However, since the pain has aggravated today, it is important to rule out any serious conditions such as pancreatitis or a kidney infection. I recommend taking a mild pain reliever like acetaminophen (Tylenol) for the pain, and also consider taking an antacid like omeprazole (Prilosec) if you suspect it could be related to gastritis. It is important to rest, avoid heavy meals, and stay hydrated. If the pain persists or worsens, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.

View allHey, I've been having some breathing issues for the past six months and it's bothering me a lot. Im a 26-year-old guy with a lean build, but my belly sort of sticks out and I'm wondering if its related. Every night about 20 minutes after I fall asleep, I wake up suddenly feeling breathless and like my throat is narrowing. Drinking a glass of water seems to help, and then I can sleep through the rest of the night. In the morning, there's this discomfort in my upper chest, along with a weird taste in my mouth and it feels dry, which wakes me up. Sometimes I notice I clench my teeth in my sleep too. I've noticed whenever I eat, whether it's lunch or dinner, the discomfort in my stomach and chest gets worse and my breathing problems intensify. If I lie down for a while, it seems to help. And if I have a drink, the next day's breathing and eating feel even more difficult. The tightness in my chest and stomach is really noticeable when Im sitting down. Also, I walk 4 kilometers daily. Could these things be connected, and what should I do about it?

I've been dealing with acidity problems for the last 5 years, and it's been really tough. I get these severe stomach aches because of it, and they only seem to go away when I take medicine like meftal spas. I'm really looking for a more permanent solution for this. What can I do?
i understand your concern...try eating several small meals instead of three large ones whenever you can...Avoid foods that irritate your stomach, especially those that are spicy, acidic, fried or fatty... avoid coffee,tea etc... Avoid stress,consider calming activities, such as meditation, yoga etc...sleep with head raised position and have dinner at least 2 hours before sleep..take over pantaprazole 40 mg twice daily before food with above for 15 days.
