I've had issues with acidity ever since I was 14, and now I'm 22. It gets really bad during my periods and a week before they start. The acidity is so severe I can't even stomach plain rice, and it causes my stomach to bloat. Plus, I get these headaches that make it hard to focus on anything. Could you please advise on what to do about this?

A movable, wobbly lump on the lower left side of your rib cage could be a lipoma (benign fatty tumor), a sebaceous cyst, or a hernia. Less commonly, it could be a sign of a more serious condition, such as a splenic tumor or cyst. Consult a primary care physician or a general surgeon for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

I'm having this really troubling issue where every time I eat something spicy, I end up with this horrible acid and gas buildup. It feels like the back of my head is going to explode, and the pain just doesn't go away until I vomit everything I've eaten. This sometimes lasts for hours. What's going on, and what can I do about it?

I'm curious about whether fasting during Ramadan can cause my throat to feel really dry. I noticed a bit of blood in my saliva once, and I've been dealing with acidity and a burning sensation in my throat and chest. Could these be related? What can I do about it?
