Question 1

I'm really concerned because I have to pass stool at least 6 times a day. It's not like I'm having loose motions or anything, but every time I feel stuffed, I get this intense urge to go. It's getting really frustrating and I just want it to stop. Ideally, going twice a day would feel a lot more normal. Can you offer any advice on what might be going on or how I could address it?

Accepted Answer

-It sounds really frustrating to have to go so often, especially when it's not loose stools. It could be helpful to try adjusting your diet to reduce bloating or constipation, and consider seeing a doctor to rule out any underlying digestive issues. Manag

Question 2

I'm really struggling with some left side chest tightness I've been having for the past couple of months. Sometimes it spreads to my shoulder and neck, and it even feels like something is stuck in my throat. I've gone through a bunch of cardiac tests like an ECG, Echo, treadmill test, and blood work, and they've all come back normal. I've also seen an ENT, an internist, and a neurologist. They all say everything looks fine. I'm on meds for my blood pressure (Amlopine 5mg) and cholesterol (Atorvastatin 20mg), and both are normal according to my recent check-up. But I'm still not feeling any better. Any idea what's going on or what I should do next?

CHECK GERD

Question 3

I've been dealing with some stomach issues lately, feeling really heavy and having a lot of gas and acidity whenever I eat. It's making me feel tired all over, with weakness, fatigue, and headaches. Also, for the past 25 days, my legs have been feeling weak and fatigued, especially when I'm trying to sleep at night. It's been pretty tough on me, and I'm really hoping for some advice or support on what might be causing this and how I can feel better. What do you think could be going on and what should I do?

I was wondering how we can really be sure that someone is free of abdominal tuberculosis after they've finished their ATT course. Is there a specific test that can accurately confirm it? I'm feeling a bit anxious about making sure the treatment has been successful.
