I'm experiencing this weird sensation where whenever I drink water, I feel a cold sensation in the right side of my chest. It's been happening for about a month now, along with moderate chest pain that comes and goes, and it feels like something is stuck in my throat. I'm getting a bit worried about what this could mean. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on and what I should do next?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), where acid from the stomach can irritate the chest and throat. The sensation of something stuck in your throat could be due to acid reflux affecting the esophagus. I recommend consulting a healthcare provider to evaluate your symptoms and discuss possible treatments like antacids or lifestyle changes.

So, I've been dealing with jaundice for about a week now. My eyes are starting to look less yellow, which is a relief. But I'm still pretty unsure about what foods I should be sticking to or avoiding right now. I'm especially curious if it's okay to eat green chillies while I'm recovering. Could they cause any problems or side effects?
no it should be avoided during jaundice

Moving to a new country can be challenging, especially when managing a medical condition like ADHD. In India, you'll find several medications available for ADHD treatment. *Commonly prescribed medications* include: - __Methylphenidate__ (MPH): Available in immediate-release (IR), extended-release (ER), and long-acting (LA) formulations. - __Atomoxetine__ (ATX): A non-stimulant medication. - __Lisdexamfetamine__ (LDX): A stimulant medication, although its availability might be limited in India. - __Clonidine__: Sometimes prescribed off-label for ADHD treatment. To find a doctor in Kanchipuram, you can: 1. *Ask for referrals*: Reach out to friends, family, or colleagues who live in Kanchipuram for recommendations. 2. *Online directories*: Utilize online directories like Practo or Lybrate to find psychiatrists or neurologists in Kanchipuram. 3. *Contact your embassy*: Reach out to the U.S. Embassy in India for guidance on finding medical care in Kanchipuram. Regarding the cost of medication and appointments, it's difficult to provide an exact estimate without knowing the specific doctor or hospital you'll be visiting. However, you can expect the cost of ADHD medications in India to be lower compared to the U.S. Before your move, consider: 1. *Carrying a sufficient supply*: Bring a sufficient supply of your current medication, Vyvanse, to last you a few months. 2. *Obtaining a prescription*: Get a prescription from your current doctor that you can use in India. 3. *Researching Indian pharmacies*: Look into pharmacies in Kanchipuram that can provide you with the necessary medication.
