Ive noticed my left side of the stomach seems more swollen compared to the right side, and it's making me really uncomfortable, especially when I'm sitting. Plus, I'm dealing with constipation. What could be causing this?

I'm curious about something I've been feeling recently. Whenever I drink water, I can actually feel it moving down through my chest, and there's this cool sensation that accompanies it. Swallowing isn't an issue, but I wanted to know if what I'm experiencing is normal. Can you help me understand this?
