I'm really not that great at English, so bear with me. Anyway, about five days ago, I started feeling this chest tightness and had a lump-in-the-throat kind of feeling. I checked online and decided to drink a bottle of Smirnoff Mule vodkait works as my soda substitute. It helped a bit, though I could still feel a bit of tightness, but not as bad as before. So now, three days later, I'm feeling this discomfort in my lower left rib cage and my back, but there's no pain when I press on the area, and it disappeared after 24 hours. Right now, it's more about discomfort on the left side of my throat when I swallow, near my Adam's apple. I haven't had a fever since last week, either. Could you guide me on where I might be able to have a general check-up around the BGC or Pembo Makati area?

I'm a bit worriedcould the weed affect the vaccination in any way? Like, will it cause any other issues or reduce how effective the vaccines are? I could really use some advice on this.
