I've been experiencing a really sharp pain on the left side of my neck that feels like being poked with a big needle. It's been going on for a few days now. Should I be worried? What could be causing this?

Considering your symptoms and test results, it's possible that your chest pain is related to:
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) Esophageal spasm Musculoskeletal issue
Consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and treatment.
They may recommend additional tests, such as an endoscopy or pH monitoring.
In the meantime, continue with the antiacid and anti-gas medications as prescribed.

While surgery is the primary treatment, meditation techniques can be helpful for managing symptoms and improving quality of life

I've been diagnosed with a slipped disc at L4 L5 S1 and have a lot of pain, especially shooting down my left leg. My doctor prescribed neorelax mr 8, gabanuron od, and gemcal along with exercises twice a day and ice packs. Will this treatment actually help me recover or should I consider surgery for this issue
Slip disc treatment with medications and physiotherapy may help; surgery is for cases with severe nerve compression or no improvement after 6–8 weeks.
