Why am I burping when standing up? Constipation?
The symptoms you are showing, such as wheezing standing up, a rumble in the stomach while lying down, and constipation, could be a sign of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). This can be produced by stress, certain meals, or even hormonal shifts. Maintaining a food diary and doing deep breathing exercises may help you relax. It's also important to drink water and consume a diet rich in fiber which will help constipation. If your symptoms persist, do not hesitate to contact a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and guidance. Take care!

Why do I experience appetite changes and excessive saliva?
You could be having some digestive problems. When you don’t feel like eating and your mouth waters more than usual as well as feeling that you have phlegm in your throat; it might mean that there is heartburn or indigestion. These conditions can cause discomfort when one eats food. To relieve the symptoms, attempt to eat small but frequent meals throughout the day; avoid spicy or greasy foods, and ensure that your body remains hydrated at all times.

Why does my abdomen hurt when pressed lightly?
From your description, it seems what you have is an umbilical hernia. Therein, a little piece of your intestine may pop up through a weak part of your belly button, and as a result, a lump is formed. This may be the reason why you experience discomfort when pushing on your belly or while pooping. See a gastroenterologist for a thorough diagnosis and treatment, which can involve surgery to repair the hernia.

Is it safe to drink wine post-gastroscopy without sedation?
After a gastroscopy, do not take too much force on your body. The glass of wine can hurt your throat because the numbing spray has already worn off. You might feel some mild discomfort or have a little acidity. It's better to wait one or two days before relishing that wine.
