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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI'm noticing that a small, round thing comes out of my anus. There's no pain or bleeding, but I'm worried about what this might be. It seems to happen when I have to push during a bowel movement. Can you help me understand what's going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a case of hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels in the rectal area that can protrude outside the anus. To help with this issue, you can try using over-the-counter medications such as Preparation H cream or Tucks pads. Make sure to also increase your fiber intake, drink plenty of water, and avoid straining during bowel movements. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been dealing with hemorrhoids, but my last doctor said they were low grade. Lately, they've flared up a bit, and I've been feeling constantly tired and weak, sometimes even a little sick. I do feel better after a good bathroom trip, but there's no blood in my stool. Can hemorrhoids cause these kinds of symptoms, and what should I do about it? At what point do you think I should go back to the doctor for another check-up?
Incomplete bowel movements can lead to uneasiness and a sickly feeling. A consult with a general surgeon will help determine the extent of your hemorrhoids, and thereafter determine what kind of treatment will be suitable for you. You may require corticosteroid ointments with laxatives, or even surgical intervention. Lifestyle modifications which may help you include a high fibre diet, natural laxatives to help bowel movement, regular exercise to promote gastric motility, maintenance of a healthy BMI, and avoiding straining during bowel movements.
