I'm having these gas issues and it's causing some chest pain, especially on the left side of my chest. I've been taking medicine for it, but still, the pain comes and goes, like when I bend or sometimes when I take a deep breath. Could all of this be just because of gas?

View allI'm feeling some tightness in my throat that started about 23 weeks ago. There's no pain, and I can swallow and eat without any issues, but it constantly feels like something's stuck in there. Could this be from muscle tightness or maybe something gastric? It's been more than two weeks now, and I'm wondering what I should do next. Which type of doctor should I consult for this? Also, I live around Haralur Road and Sarjapur Road in Bangaloreany nearby doctor recommendations would be really helpful.
It is possible that the sensation of tightness in your throat could be due to muscle tightness or a gastric issue such as acid reflux. To help alleviate this symptom, you can try taking Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast for 2 weeks. Additionally, you can use Gaviscon syrup 10-15ml after meals and at bedtime as needed for relief. If the symptoms persist after trying these medications, you may consult an ENT specialist (Ear, Nose, and Throat) for further evaluation

I'm 43 and have been dealing with a really bad smell coming from my throat for about a week now. It's so awful and it's even making my throat feel irritated. I haven't noticed any respiratory issues, but I was recently diagnosed with GERD. I'm really concerned about this foul smell and not sure what steps to take next. Can you help me understand what's going on and suggest what I should do?
-The foul smell you're experiencing could be related to your GERD, as acid reflux can sometimes cause bad breath and throat irritation. It might help to follow your doctor's advice on managing GERD, like adjusting your diet and possibly using medications.
