I had an endoscopy a few days ago and now my chest is really hurting. Should I be concerned and go get it checked out, or is it okay to wait a bit longer?

Chest pain after an endoscopy can sometimes occur due to irritation from the procedure. However, if the pain is severe or persistent, it is important to seek medical attention to rule out any serious complications. You can take over-the-counter antacids like Tums (dosage: 2 tablets every 4-6 hours as needed) for relief in the meantime. If the pain worsens or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms, such as difficulty breathing or severe heartburn, please seek medical help immediately.

I've been dealing with idiopathic slow transit constipation and IBS with constipation for over 10 years and I'm not sure if they're the same thing or different. My symptoms are constant bloating, indigestion, abdominal pain, and daily constipation. I've tried soaked raisins, drinking lots of water, eating fruits and vegetables, and even a low FODMAP diet, but nothing helps. I'm only able to pass stool with digital evacuation and it's affecting my work and stress levels. Is surgery an option for me at this point?

A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I'm experiencing some mild pain and discomfort on both sides just under my lower chest. I think it might be around the lower ribs, but I'm not entirely sure. The pain seems to get worse, especially when I'm walking. Could you tell me what might be causing this?
