I'm really struggling with some severe issues related to eating, swallowing, and drinking. Every time I swallow anything, it feels like it hits a mass underneath my bra line, and this causes a lot of back pain and discomfort. I had my gallbladder removed four years ago, and I also have a hemangioma growing outside my liver. I'm really worried about these symptoms and looking for some advice on what might be going on. Could this be related to my past surgeries or the hemangioma? What should I do?

To help with swallowing and discomfort, you can try taking a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole (20mg) once a day before breakfast to reduce stomach acid and alleviate any reflux symptoms. Additionally, you can take Simethicone (80mg) after meals to help with gas and bloating. It is important to stay hydrated, so make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been feeling like there's food stuck in my throat and it won't go down. My voice has gotten hoarse, and I've got this irritable bowel thing going on. My stomach hurts and feels like it's burning, and now I've started having pain in my lower back too. It's really uncomfortable and I'm starting to get pretty anxious about it. Any idea what could be going on?

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.

I'm really struggling with this whole breath situation that's been going on for about two years. It smells like feces and it just seems like it gets worse when I drink coffee, eat sweets, or even just bread. Lately, it doesnt matter what I eat, the smell's there. Im 22 and in college, so avoiding people isn't really an option, and it's super embarrassing. Ive done a ton of research and tried brushing like five times a day, flossing, and even scraping my tongue, but nothing's working. This past week, it got even worse, and chewing gum just doesnt hide it anymore. I'm worried I might drive people away with my breath! Ive got this bad bitter taste in my mouth, and even drinking lots of water isnt helping. I know I have post-nasal drip, GERD, and an aching root canal molar that was redone but still hurts. Are any of these causing my breath issue? How can I fix this? It's really getting me down.
