I've been having this pain on the right side below my chest for the last two days, especially when I breathe and yawn. I've also been burping all day. This started after I was fasting on Saturday and had liquid fasting on Monday. I did take a gas tablet yesterday, but the pain is still there today when I woke up. I can't visit a hospital right now because of the lockdown and the situation outside. Do you think this could just be gas pain?

Eating doesn't bother me, but afterward, it feels like the mucus shifts to my chest, even though I don't have a cough, cold, or a fever. I've also noticed a bit of pain in the middle of my chest. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

I had some vomiting last night, and my heart started racing all of a sudden. I'm also feeling like there's a lot of gas in my stomach. Can you help me understand what's going on?

Given your symptoms of vomiting, increased heart rate, and stomach gas, it's possible you're experiencing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acid reflux, stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, avoid solid foods for now, opt for bland liquids like coconut water or clear broth, and consider taking an antacid or acid reducer like ranitidine or omeprazole;
