I've been noticing some strange smells for the past monthmost foods just don't smell right to me. It hasn't gone away, and on top of that, I've been dealing with chest pains for the last couple of days, especially when I lie down to sleep. Do you think I should see a doctor about this? Also, why do things smell so weird to me? Plus, I'm feeling really tense all the time.

I'm experiencing some pain in the area inside my ribs on both sides, especially under my left breast and there's some noticeable swelling too. It's been going on for a few days now. My breathing is generally normal, but sometimes it feels like I have to make an effort to take deeper breaths. I'm getting a bit worried about what might be causing this. Could you provide some advice on what might be happening?

Can you help me understand what that means? Should I be worried about these findings? I'm trying to wrap my head around all these terms and what they mean for my health.
