I've been feeling something really weird on the left side, just below my ribs for the past three months. It's like a mix of pain, ticklish sensations, and bubbling. At one point, I thought maybe I'd torn a muscle, so I rushed to emergency. They did an ECG, checked my blood pressure, and even took an X-ray, but everything came back normal. I'm on some meds that the doctor gave me from the GD Diabetes Centre like Voveran SR, Pan D, and Trinerve 75. But still, when I touch the area, it hurts a bit, and when I don't, it feels ticklish and painful at the same time. Any idea what's going on or if I should be concerned?

I'm feeling really embarrassed because every time I eat, especially at breakfast, I get this buildup of phlegm in my throat that I need to spit out. It's been happening for a while and it's awkward for people around me. I've been treated for GERD with medicines like Rabiym DSR, and for allergies with Monteluksut and Fex. But it still doesn't seem to be getting better. Do you know what might be causing this or how I could improve the situation?

I've been having some issues with my appetite; I don't feel like eating much after just two chapatis. Also, I'm dealing with stomach pain and I'm quite underweight, only around 38 kg at 5'2". I feel tired all the time. I have a history of erosive gastritis with bleeding. Do you think taking Liv 52 could help increase my appetite?
