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'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?

That could be Gastritis or GERD once check with Gastroenterologist .

I've been having this burning sensation in my stomach whenever I eat something, and it's really uncomfortable. I visited a doctor last week, and he prescribed rabimac dsrmedigaszincovit, which did help while I was taking it. But after I finished the medicine and took a break for a day, the burning feeling came back. What should I do now?
