Question 1

Yesterday, I had this really scary moment where my food got stuck, and I started coughing. It got so bad that I ended up throwing up, and during that, it felt like my whole body was shaking. After that, I started feeling this pain in my shoulder, neck, and arms, and there's also this burning and sharp pain in my chest. And now, every time I sneeze or cough, there's this sharp pain on the left side of my chest. I'm kind of worriedcan you tell me what's going on and if there's any medicine or something I should be taking?

Ecg and cardiac markers are advised to the patient.

Question 2

I'm trying to figure out the best timing for my dad's medication. He's been taking tablets like AB Phylline after meals and Montek BL before eating for his cold, but lately, he's been dealing with stomach bloating and some pain. Could these issues be side effects from the meds? Just want to make sure we're doing this right.

Question 3

I'm having this weird feeling of uneasiness in my chest, but it's only when I'm trying to sleep at night, during the day it's not there at all. When it happens, I usually just get up, drink some water, and I end up belching a lot, and then after a while, I can go back to sleep like normal. I've been keeping an eye on my SpO2 at home and its around 97-98 every time I check it. Also, I went to a general physician yesterday, May 18, and they said my SpO2 is good too. I don't have any other symptoms, especially those related to Covid. My doctor gave me antibiotics to be on the safer side along with some vitamins for three days. I'm just wondering if there's anything else I should be looking into, like, should I get a CT scan of my lungs or anything like that given my situation?
