Was dealing with COVID back in April and felt better by May. Havent had any issues till now, but for the past 45 days, my stomach's been feeling really tight like Im constipated. Not much gas is coming out, even with rantac 150mg. There's also this chest tightness and occasional pain, especially on the left side and in the middle bone of my chest. Is it just gas, or could it be something else? I'm kinda worried.

I've been experiencing some unusual bloating in my stomach, especially around and above my belly button. Even a small amount of food makes me feel super full, which is strange because I've never had this problem before. I did have constipation a few months back, but it's not an issue now. I've noticed that my weight has slightly fluctuated toolike I'll gain a little after eating, but then lose it after going to the bathroom. The main thing is, my stomach just feels and looks really bloated. Any ideas on what might be going on?

I've been experiencing chest pain when I move my upper body, and if I press lightly on my chest, it sometimes makes me burp. It's been worrying me a bit, and I'm not sure what could be causing it. Could it be something serious or just something minor? Would love to get your thoughts on what might be happening.

I took rifastop 400 this morning, and now I'm dealing with a bit of acidity and keep burping. Is it okay if I take a rantac 150 before bedtime after taking rifastop 400 earlier today?

-Yes, you can take Rantac 150 before Rifastop 400 to help reduce acidity. Take it 30 minutes before your dose in the morning and again at bedtime if needed. Always drink plenty of water with Rifastop to minimize irritation.
