I've noticed that whenever I eat oily foods, I tend to cough a lot, and there's quite a bit of mucus involved. Sometimes it even feels like there's some mucus stuck in my throat. Is this a normal reaction, or should I be concerned about what's going on?

I've noticed a lump just below my rib on the right side, and its really uncomfortable, especially when I try to lie on that side. It kind of feels like somethings pushing against my rib. What could this possibly be? Should I be concerned?

It sounds like you may have a lump or swelling near your rib, which could be due to various causes such as a muscle strain, benign growth, or inflammation. I recommend seeing a doctor for a physical examination and possibly some imaging tests to determine the cause and get appropriate treatment.

I'm dealing with these hiccups that just don't seem to quit. It's been over 24 hours now. They pause for a bit and then come right back. Is this something I should be worried about? Might it be indicating some kind of serious issue?

I'm really concerned about my breathing issues that have been going on for 8 months now. It gets worse when I lie down, and when I wake up, I find myself burping a lot. There's also this feeling like somethings stuck in my throat every couple of days. After doing physical activities, I struggle with rapid breathing. I've even had experiences with chest tightness and a bloated stomach. Plus, I can't sleep in air-conditioned rooms or in cooler temperatures. What could be going on, and what should I do?
