I've had this stomach issue for 7 months where it feels like there's a constant knot in my upper stomach and throat. Did an endoscopy 5 months ago showing small hiatus hernia and some erosions. Tried multiple meds like rabeprazole, levosulpride, montilucast for months with no relief. One doctor now suggests surgery but I'm unsure. What could be causing this persistent discomfort and is surgery really needed?

Question

I'm really stressed out about my health right now. I've been dealing with hemorrhoids and started taking Himalaya Pilex tablets because I heard they could help. I was taking two tablets, twice a day, but after 14 days, my hemorrhoids got worse instead of better. Plus, I've noticed the nerves in my arms and legs are swollen, I'm hearing noises in my ear, and my TSH levels jumped to 9.2 from normal. I've stopped taking the Pilex tablets, but the swelling and noise in my ear keep getting worse. I'm really worried and looking for advice on how to stop the effects and what I should do next. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I'm having these gas issues and it's causing some chest pain, especially on the left side of my chest. I've been taking medicine for it, but still, the pain comes and goes, like when I bend or sometimes when I take a deep breath. Could all of this be just because of gas?
