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?

View allI'm worried about my uncle who's now 60. He tends to burp loudly and often complains about pain in his upper stomach. He keeps rubbing that area, and we're wondering if this could just be gas or if it might be something else we haven't considered. What should we be doing to help him out?
Yes, upper stomach pain can be caused by gas, especially if your uncle is experiencing loud burps. However, at the age of 60, other causes of stomach pain should also be considered, such as gastritis, peptic ulcers, or even more serious conditions like gallstones or pancreatitis. To help relieve his symptoms, your uncle can try taking an over-the-counter antacid like Tums or Maalox to help with gas and indigestion. He can also try Simethicone (Gas-X) to help break up gas bubbles in his stomach. It is important for him to avoid foods that can trigger gas, such as beans, broccoli, cabbage, and carbonated drinks. Additionally, eating smaller meals and avoiding lying down right after eating can also help reduce gas and stomach pain. If his symptoms persist or worsen, it is important for him to see a doctor for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

I'm really struggling with eating properly these past two weeks. Every time I try to eat food like chapati or rice, I feel like I'm going to vomit, and sometimes I actually do, even if it's just fruits. It's really concerning, and I don't know what's going on. I visited a doctor, had some blood tests done, and I just got the results back today. My next appointment is on Saturday, and my ESR level is 60. What does that mean, and could it be causing these symptoms? I'm kind of worried.
it strongly suggests an inflammatory process happening in your body, which could be a sign of an underlying medical condition that needs further investigation by your doctor.
