I'm really worried because I've been dealing with this acid reflux ever since I quit smoking about a month ago. Its become quite uncomfortable, and sometimes I even have trouble breathing, which gets worse when I try to exercise. Im not sure if there's any medication I could take to ease these symptoms, or if it's important that I visit a hospital right now. Any advice would be really appreciated.

I'm feeling this weird tingling sensation under my left rib cage. Every time I lie on my left side, it feels like something's there, like a slight pressure or touch. I looked it up and it mentioned something about the spleen. Who would be the best specialist to consult about this?

I've had painful anal fissures and piles for the last six months and it's really bothering me. Can you suggest some treatment options that don't involve surgery? I'm worried about the discomfort and want to know what else might help.

Anal fissures often heal within a few weeks with appropriate home treatment. Take steps to keep the stool soft, such as increasing your intake of fiber and fluids. Soak in warm water for 10 to 20 minutes several times a day, especially after bowel movements. This can help relax the sphincter and promote healing

I'm really struggling with some left side chest tightness I've been having for the past couple of months. Sometimes it spreads to my shoulder and neck, and it even feels like something is stuck in my throat. I've gone through a bunch of cardiac tests like an ECG, Echo, treadmill test, and blood work, and they've all come back normal. I've also seen an ENT, an internist, and a neurologist. They all say everything looks fine. I'm on meds for my blood pressure (Amlopine 5mg) and cholesterol (Atorvastatin 20mg), and both are normal according to my recent check-up. But I'm still not feeling any better. Any idea what's going on or what I should do next?
