Question 1

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with burping problems for the last six months, and now I've started to experience yawning and shortness of breath. It's pretty concerning, and on top of that, I get heartburn too. What could be causing all these symptoms?

Accepted Answer

You may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). I recommend trying over-the-counter medication such as Omeprazole (Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast to help reduce stomach acid production and alleviate your symptoms. Additionally, you can try Simethicone (Gas-X) as needed for the burping. If your symptoms persist, it's important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Question 2

I'm feeling some really sharp pain under my ribs, like being poked with a nail. It's happening between my 3rd and 2nd last rib, and I've been dealing with it for about 45 years. Sometimes it happens every 2-3 months, but other times it's more regular. I'm starting to worry if it might be something wrong with my liver, or maybe it's just gas-related? I also have constipation issues. What could be going on?
