I've been having this weird issue where sometimes I can't swallow my food without drinking water. I used to eat just fine without it, but now it feels like the food gets stuck halfway. As soon as I drink some water, though, I can swallow it down. It's not happening all the time, just sometimes, but it's got me worried. Any idea why this might be happening?

It sounds like you may be experiencing some difficulty with swallowing, also known as dysphagia. This could be due to various reasons such as inflammation, muscle weakness, or narrowing of the esophagus. I recommend you try using a medication like **Omeprazole** 20mg once daily before breakfast to reduce any potential inflammation in the esophagus. Additionally, you can try **Metoclopramide** 10mg three times a day before meals to help with the movement of food through the esophagus. Make sure to drink plenty of water with these medications and follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been experiencing this tightness or squeezing sensation in the upper right side of my chest for over a year now, and it seems to be getting worse. My chest X-ray came out normal, but I also have Gilbert's syndrome, which is adding to my fatigue. I'm really worried about what's going on. Could you help figure out what's causing this?

Ecg and chest x-ray pa view is advised to the patient.
