If you notice your goldfish isn't doing so well, the first thing you should do is move it to a smaller tank if you have other fish. Fill a small bowl with new filtered water and move your fish to this "hospital" tank. Keep an eye on your fish for a few hours to see how it does. Sometimes changing the water can be enough to make them feel better. If your fish still isn't better after a few hours, unfortunately it may have a serious problem and will likely pass away. But if you were able to quarantine it quickly, hopefully any parasites or illness affecting it won't spread to your other fish.

I have functional dyspepsia, and I feel slightly sick to my stomach all the time. Any advice?

If you are on NSAIDS they should be discontinued, and you should consider taking a proton pump inhibitor. Talk to your doctor about this option.

Can I put goldfish and koi carp in with rainbow sharks?

No! Goldfish and koi are cold water fish, whereas rainbow sharks are tropical. They need completely different temperatures to survive and thrive.

My goldfish is swimming upside down and has cotton mouth. I am not sure if I should let it die in the tank or quarantine it and let it pass away there.

It sounds like he has swim bladder disease or ich. If it is ich, it would be best to quarantine him, since ich is very contagious.
