I'm dealing with a lot of hyper acidity, and I've noticed I occasionally get palpitations. All my tests like blood work, ECG, and Echo are normal, but these palpitations have me worried. Is it possible that my acid reflux is causing these palpitations?

View allI'm having this really uncomfortable pain in my lower left abdomen, and it seems to be spreading to my back. It hurts even more when I'm sitting down, especially on the back side. I'm not sure why this is happening. Should I be worried about it? What could be causing this kind of pain?
Could be indicative of a kidney stone. I would recommend taking over-the-counter pain relief medication such as Tylenol (acetaminophen) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. It is important to drink plenty of water to help flush out the kidney stone. If the pain persists or worsens, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.

I've been noticing that I sometimes exhale hot air and feel a slight burning sensation in my chest. Is this something to worry about? Occasionally, I also feel a bit light-headed. Just wondering if this is normal or if I should get it checked out.
Feeling like you're exhaling hot air with a slight burning sensation in your chest, accompanied by lightheadedness, is not typical. Although it might not be a cause for immediate concern, it's essential to explore possible explanations. _Possible Causes_ 1. _Acid reflux_: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can cause stomach acid to flow up into the esophagus, leading to a burning sensation in the chest. 2. _Heartburn_: Similar to acid reflux, heartburn can cause a burning sensation in the chest, especially after eating. 3. _Asthma or COPD_: Respiratory conditions like asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can cause shortness of breath, wheezing, and a burning sensation in the chest. 4. _Anxiety or panic attacks_: Anxiety or panic attacks can cause rapid breathing, lightheadedness, and a sensation of burning or tightness in the chest. 5. _Other medical conditions_: Certain medical conditions, such as pneumonia, bronchitis, or pulmonary embolism, can also cause these symptoms. _What to Do Next_ 1. _Consult a doctor_: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician to discuss your symptoms. 2. _Monitor your symptoms_: Keep a journal to track when your symptoms occur, how long they last, and any potential triggers. 3. _Avoid triggers_: If you suspect that certain foods, activities, or situations trigger your symptoms, try to avoid them. Remember, it's always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to your health. Seek medical attention if you experience: - Severe chest pain or pressure - Difficulty breathing - Dizziness or fainting - Severe lightheadedness

I've noticed that after just a couple of drinks, my eyes get really red, I get a headache, feel nauseous, and my stomach feels extremely tight and full. I'm also having trouble breathing, and my heartbeat gets really fast. This has been happening for about a month, even though I stopped drinking alcohol. I've tried to have a drink a couple of times since then, but the same problem occurs. This never happened before, and I've been drinking for years. I got a body check-up two months ago, and everything was normal. What could be going on with me, and should I be concerned?
avoid taking alcohol
