I'm experiencing some weird stuff lately and I'm a bit worried. I have this strange pain around my left breast and the left side of my chest, and it's been quite constant. I've also been dealing with a lot of post-nasal drip and burping, plus this odd flapping sensation on the left side of my abdomen. Do you have any idea what could be going on?

Weakness after defecation is due to vaso vagal reaction. When you tense abdominal muscles or strain to pass stool, vagus nerve is stimulated which decreases the heart rate. Also, blood flow to the heart decreases causing the blood pressure to drop. Hence, decreased heart rate with drop in blood pressure together makes you light headed or weak after passing stool.

I've had a chronic fissure for the past 6 months and was on cefadroxil plus supportive treatment for 3 months prescribed by a surgeon, then switched to rifaximin 400mg with laxatives and local metrogy for another 3 months but I still have burning around the anal ring. The doctor says my anal canal isn't constricted and spasms have reduced so surgery isn't needed, but when I pass hard stools, my sentinel piles flare up and the burning lasts a long time. Why isn't this healing completely and what else can I try?
conservative therapy is advised to the patient.

I've had three endoscopies and the reports show a hiatal hernia. Right now I'm on Sompraz L and don't have burning sensations, but my chest feels really heavy and uncomfortable. The cardiologist checked me for chest pain and all tests even the chest X-ray came back normal with no heart issues. Still, the chest pain won't go away. Do I need surgery for the hiatal hernia or is there another way to manage this?
A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.
