I'm really worried because I've been having black vomiting and stomach pain. Could these symptoms mean I might have stomach cancer, and does it affect my ability to digest food? What should I do?

Methotrexate) as it can affect liver function. With a history of gallbladder surgery and HCV detection, your liver health is a concern. Although RNA quantification is negative, your doctor will assess the risks and benefits. Methotrexate can cause liver toxicity, so monitoring is crucial. Your doctor may recommend alternative treatments or adjust the dosage. Regular liver function tests will be necessary.

I'm really worried because for the last couple of weeks, I've been experiencing this burning sensation and pain right in the middle of my chest, and I'm also feeling pain in my right shoulder and just below it. My ECG and troponin levels are completely normal, so I'm not sure what else it could be. I'm taking medication for acid reflux, but I'm still feeling pain and a sense of fullness in my chest. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
From your description, it sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In addition to the medication you are already taking for acid reflux, I recommend adding a proton pump inhibitor such as omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast to help further reduce stomach acid production and alleviate your symptoms. You can also consider taking an antacid like Tums as needed for immediate relief of heartburn. It's important to avoid trigger foods that may worsen your symptoms, such as spicy or acidic foods, caffeine, and alcohol. Additionally, elevating the head of your bed while sleeping and avoiding lying down right after meals can also help. If your symptoms persist despite these measures, further evaluation by a gastroenterologist may be necessary.

I've been having this pain on the right side below my chest for the last two days, especially when I breathe and yawn. I've also been burping all day. This started after I was fasting on Saturday and had liquid fasting on Monday. I did take a gas tablet yesterday, but the pain is still there today when I woke up. I can't visit a hospital right now because of the lockdown and the situation outside. Do you think this could just be gas pain?
