I've been having some discomfort on the left side just below my ribs for the past two weeks. It's really tender to the touch and gets quite painful. Plus, I've been experiencing a lot of stomach bloating, especially after I eat. It even affects my breathing at times, making it short, and my heart seems to race when my stomach is bloated. Does this sound familiar, and what might be causing these symptoms?

Usual causes of stomach pain are acidity, indigestion, gall stones, intestinal disorders, kidney stones and infections. Most of them can be mild and be treated at home under doctor's guidance but sometimes, any of them can cause sudden sharp pain with intense vomiting and diarrhea. So, it is better to consult with doctor and take treatment as early as possible.

I'm experiencing this burning sensation in my upper abdomen, mostly on the right side, and it's been getting pretty intense. I also feel some shortage of breath. The pain usually lasts for about 20 to 30 minutes, and it tends to calm down after I drink a lot of water and burp, but the burning feeling lingers for a bit. This has happened 2-3 times over the last few days, and I'm a bit concerned. I have a one-month-old baby who is entirely breastfed could this be a digestive issue? I'm considering trying Ayurvedic remedies, do you think that might be a good idea?
Your symptoms appear to be that of gastroenteritis. You would require an antacid to get relief from the symptoms. Avoid spicy, oily, fried, deep fried and junk food. Aim to drink 3 litres of water per day. Limit coffee, tea and carbonated drinks to just once a day

I'm supposed to have an endoscopy tomorrow because I've been dealing with a really bad sore throat and some keratosis happening there. But today I took cetirizine and paracetamol. Can I still go through with the endoscopy, or could this be an issue?
