I'm experiencing pain on the right side of my chest, specifically in the middle area, and it gets worse when I bend down, walk, or move forward. It's been happening since yesterday morning. Even sleeping is tough I feel it when I try to lie down, and it's really painful when I sneeze. I've been on medication for epigastric and antral ulcers for the past five days. Could this chest pain be related to that, or might it be something else? I'm really worried about what's going on.

I've been dealing with lax esophagitis and pangastritis for 10 years and have been on PPIs the whole time. The side effects from the meds are getting to me should I consider surgery or stick with the PPIs?

Long-term PPI use for esophagitis may cause side effects. Anti-reflux surgery (like fundoplication) is considered when lifestyle and medicines fail.

I've been dealing with stomach flu and have been on medication like rcifax 50, enbios, and rablet for about a week. I'm still having loose stools along with bloating and gas. How much longer do you think it'll take to feel better? And what kind of food should I be eating to speed up the recovery?

It can take around 1-2 weeks to fully recover from stomach flu. In addition to the medications you are already taking, you can also consider taking probiotics like Enterogermina to help restore the balance of good bacteria in your gut. For faster recovery, you should focus on eating bland and easily digestible foods such as bananas, rice, applesauce, toast (BRAT diet), boiled potatoes, clear broths, and drinking plenty of fluids like water, herbal teas, and electrolyte-rich drinks. Avoid spicy, fatty, and dairy-rich foods until your symptoms improve.
