I'm dealing with a lot of hyper acidity, and I've noticed I occasionally get palpitations. All my tests like blood work, ECG, and Echo are normal, but these palpitations have me worried. Is it possible that my acid reflux is causing these palpitations?

I've been having upper abdominal pain, trouble breathing and swallowing, and a sore throat for a while. Two years ago, I had a laparoscopy for appendicitis. Recently saw a gastroenterologist who mentioned lax cardia grade A reflux esophagitis but didn't explain much. What does this condition mean and how can I manage it?

It means your stomach acid is flowing back up; treat with lifestyle changes, PPIs, and avoiding late meals.

I'm a teenager and I've developed piles. Should I be worried about having them at this age? Do you think I need to see a doctor or are there any home remedies that might help me get better?

Having piles (hemorrhoids) as a teenager is uncommon, but not unheard of, and it's essential to consult a doctor to rule out underlying conditions like constipation, diarrhea, or inflammatory bowel disease, and in the meantime, try home remedies like increasing fiber intake, drinking plenty of water, exercising regularly, and applying warm compresses or witch hazel to the affected area to alleviate symptoms.

I've been dealing with this issue for the last two years where I get this anal discharge once or twice a day. It's like a mild, transparent mucus with an odor, but it's not stool. It mostly happens after I've eaten or when I've exercised. It's not flowing a lot, just stays there, and doesnt stain my clothes, but it's making the area irritated and itchy. And because of the itching, Ive had skin abscesses on my buttock area about 3-4 times in the past year and a half. There's no pain, no constipation, and my bowel movements are regular. What could be causing this, and is there any medicine or treatment I should consider?

to determine the underlying cause of the anal discharge, which may be related to conditions like anal fistula, rectal prolapse, or gastrointestinal infections; in the meantime, maintain good anal hygiene, avoid scratching the area, consult gastroenterologist
