I'm experiencing this weird sensation where whenever I drink water, I feel a cold sensation in the right side of my chest. It's been happening for about a month now, along with moderate chest pain that comes and goes, and it feels like something is stuck in my throat. I'm getting a bit worried about what this could mean. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on and what I should do next?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), where acid from the stomach can irritate the chest and throat. The sensation of something stuck in your throat could be due to acid reflux affecting the esophagus. I recommend consulting a healthcare provider to evaluate your symptoms and discuss possible treatments like antacids or lifestyle changes.

I've been diagnosed with an anal fissure and just got my report. Is surgery the only way to fix this or can it be treated with medication? I'm a bit worried about going under the knife if there are other options.

The majority of anal fissures do not require surgery. The most common treatment for an acute anal fissure consists of making one's stool more consistent with a diet high in fiber as well as utilizing over-the-counter fiber supplementation (totaling 25-35 grams of fiber/day).
