I've been feeling this pain on the left side of my rib, kind of towards the end of one rib. It's been there for a few weeks now. It doesn't bother me when I'm breathing, but I notice it more when I touch it or if I'm moving around a lot at work. Should I be worried about this? What could it be?

I'm really worried about my dad. For the past few days, he's been complaining of severe back pain and just seems super tired. He's also been having trouble breathing normally, like he has to take deep breaths and it's kinda like he's struggling. Plus, he feels like he might vomit but hasn't actually thrown up. Everything else seems okay, like his bathroom habits and appetite, but you can just tell by looking at him that he's exhausted. What could be going on with him?

That could be GERD, visit Gastroenterologist for appropriate treatment.

I've been dealing with this green cough and cold for the past week, and now I'm starting to feel breathless. Last night, I took a MontekLC tablet based on what worked for me before, but I'm still feeling really weak and it feels like I've got a heavy cold in my head. What do you think I should do? Is there anything else I can try to feel better?

it might be sinuisitis, start steam inhalation

I'm trying to figure out how to get a medical fitness certificate from a government hospital in Noida for my visa application. Can you guide me on what I need to do and if there's anything specific I should be aware of? I'm feeling a bit confused and would really appreciate some clarity.
