I've been noticing this weird pattern where I start coughing and getting phlegm right after I eat, and it seems to get worse with spicy foods. It's really bothering me and I'm not sure what's going on. Could you help me figure out what might be causing this?

I'm a bit concerned about something I've noticed with my chest area. On the left side, where my ribs are, it seems more distended compared to the right side, especially after I eat. It's often linked with gas or indigestion, but there's no pain, and it doesn't happen every timeit just catches my attention when it does. Sometimes, I can even hear what sounds like my rib rubbing or adjusting. Does this sound like something I should be worried about?
