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?

I've been feeling this weird movement in my lower abdomen for the past 67 months. It feels like a fast expansion and contraction, kinda like my heart is beating in my stomach, happening 3 or 4 times in a row and then again after a few hours. It's even visible if I look at my abdomen. Do you have any idea what might be causing this?

It's normal peristaltic movement of our gut which can be seen in some people.

Feeling like my stomach is empty even after I've eaten. Also, I've been having issues in the morning where I have to go to the bathroom like 2 or 3 times. Not sure what's going on. Any ideas on what this could be or what to do?

I've been dealing with this annoying acidity every morning for the last few days. It's like I wake up and feel this urge to vomit, and sometimes there's a lot of gas too. Lately, it even feels like there's acid being released or something. Could you tell me what might be going on and what I should do?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux. I recommend taking Omeprazole (brand name Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take Simethicone (brand name Gas-X) 125mg after meals to help with gas. Make sure to avoid spicy and acidic foods, as well as eating at least 2-3 hours before bedtime to help alleviate your symptoms.
