I've been having this chest discomfort that's mostly in the center, but sometimes it's a bit on the left side too. Plus, there's this back pain right in the middle of my back. Last year I talked to a gastroenterologist and had an endoscopy and a chest X-ray. They didn't spot anything except a gastric problem. But here I am, a year later, feeling the same kind of discomfort again. What could be going on? Should I be worried, or is this something common that happens with gastric issues?

I'm really worried about my friend. She had quite a bit to drink last night like 6 vodka shots and a few whiskies. She vomited then, which seemed like just from drinking too much. But now, it's the next day and she can't keep any food down. Whenever she tries to eat, she pukes it all up. She insists she's okay, but it's really concerning. Is this something to be worried about? Could it be serious?

Your friend may be experiencing symptoms of alcohol poisoning, which can be very serious. Since she is unable to keep any food down since this morning, it is important to seek medical help immediately. She may need intravenous fluids to rehydrate and medications to help with nausea and vomiting. Please take her to the nearest emergency room as soon as possible for evaluation and treatment.
