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 dealing with a stomach ache for the past couple of days, and it's really starting to worry me. The pain only lasts a few minutes each time it hits, but it's happening multiple times a day at random intervals. It feels like something's tightening up inside my stomach and squeezing it hard for a moment. What could be causing this? Any advice would be really appreciated.

I've been experiencing this strange fluttering, pulsating, vibrating feeling under my left rib. There's no pain, and I don't think it's connected to my heart because I've checked my pulse at the same time as the sensation. Could you shed some light on what this might be?
once get your ECG done as a screening for cardiac issues,if it turns out to be normal, General physician consultation would help you.
