I'm having a really hard time breathing because of this gas and my chest feels really heavy. I'm pretty sure it's because I haven't been eating and sleeping well, and now I've got this terrible gastric problem. Can you help me figure out how to ease this?

View allI'm really worried about this chest pain I've been having around the middle part, along with some light back pain in the upper area. It's been going on for like 23 days. I don't have a cough, but I do get a lot of burping. A couple of months ago, I saw a pulmonologist because of some mild chest pain, and my x-ray came back normal. He said it was probably gas. The thing is, I used to smoke for about five years but quit two months ago. Could the smoking have something to do with it, or is it really just gas causing this pain? What should I do next?

I'm really worried about my mom. We just got her ultrasound report and it says her liver is enlarged at 21.1 cm with increased echo texture, but there aren't any focal lesions. She has diabetes and high blood pressure too. Could this be related, or is it something different we should be concerned about? What might be causing these changes in her liver?
