I've had this really stubborn cough for about 8 months now and it's sometimes so bad that I end up vomiting. I went to see a doctor and got tested for TB, but that came back negative. My X-ray did show some lower lobe subsegmental pulmonary consolidation. I was on medication for a while, and the cough got better, but as soon as I stopped, it came back. I saw another doctor who suggested it might be a gastric issue and told me to avoid spicy foods and fizzy drinks. But the cough is still here, and it's worse at night, sometimes leading to vomiting. I have to admit, Im still eating spicy foods occasionally, and I'm wondering if that's making it worse. What should I do next?

I've been feeling some tightness in my mid to lower abdomen and I've noticed my acid reflux has been worse lately. Occasionally, I feel nauseous and I've had a cough that seems to be getting better now, but my bowel movements have been all over the place. What could be causing all this?
Your symptoms, including abdominal tightness, acid reflux, nausea, cough, and irregular bowel movements, suggest possible gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD); consider consulting a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation, including upper endoscopy, colonoscopy, or imaging tests, to determine the underlying cause and develop a personalized treatment plan, which may include dietary changes, antacids, acid reducers, or medication to manage symptoms.

Was dealing with COVID back in April and felt better by May. Havent had any issues till now, but for the past 45 days, my stomach's been feeling really tight like Im constipated. Not much gas is coming out, even with rantac 150mg. There's also this chest tightness and occasional pain, especially on the left side and in the middle bone of my chest. Is it just gas, or could it be something else? I'm kinda worried.
take tab pantop 40mg
