I'm feeling really embarrassed because every time I eat, especially at breakfast, I get this buildup of phlegm in my throat that I need to spit out. It's been happening for a while and it's awkward for people around me. I've been treated for GERD with medicines like Rabiym DSR, and for allergies with Monteluksut and Fex. But it still doesn't seem to be getting better. Do you know what might be causing this or how I could improve the situation?

I'm having these weird feelings where it seems like my breath just pauses. It comes from my stomach, almost like there's a bubble that hits my upper abdomen, and then my breath takes a pause. It makes me really nervous when it happens. Is this something serious I should be worried about?

Patient is advised pulmonary function tests,sputum examination for AFB and culture and sensitivity test,spirometry and complete blood count.

I'm curious about using jeera water for digestion since I have a sensitive gut. How often should I drink it, and when is the best time during the day for it to be effective?

Jeera water can aid digestion, but for sensitive gut, start with small amounts (14 teaspoon of cumin seeds in 1 liter water) and observe tolerance; drink it 1-2 times a day, ideally after meals or before bedtime, and avoid drinking it on an empty stomach to minimize potential discomfort.

I'm having this stomach pain for the past two weeks, and I can't seem to figure out why. It doesn't seem to matter what I eatwhether it's homemade rice and dal or even spicy or sweet foodsthe pain just keeps coming back. It feels a bit like gastric pain sometimes, but there's no diarrhea or vomiting. Even with light or non-masala meals, the pain persists. What could be causing this, and what should I do?
