I used to smoke but quit four months ago. Recently, I visited a pulmonologist because I was having issues with coughing and feeling like I had to take deep breaths. The doctor diagnosed me with bronchitis and GERD and gave me some medicine. However, whenever I stop taking the medicine, my symptoms come back. Now I'm hearing a water-like noise on the left side of my stomach just below my chest. What could be causing these symptoms, and should I be concerned?

I accidentally swallowed a whole jackfruit seed and I'm a bit worried. I can talk just fine, but I'm not really sure if I'm actually feeling something in my throat or if it's just all in my head. Is there anything I should be concerned about, or steps I need to take?

Yes if there was any obstruction it would have resulted into dysphasia or dyspnea
