I'm having a really hard time breathing because of this gas and my chest feels really heavy. I'm pretty sure it's because I haven't been eating and sleeping well, and now I've got this terrible gastric problem. Can you help me figure out how to ease this?

my doctor said I have an old healed fissure and surgery isn't needed but I'm not sure what that really means does it still cause problems or is it completely fine now

It's understandable to be unsure when a doctor advises against surgery. While surgery is often a last resort for chronic anal fissures, most cases can be managed with conservative treatments like lifestyle changes and medications.

I've been experiencing this upper right chest pain that happens whenever I laugh, and it really worries me. The pain just appears when I'm laughing and then disappears. Recently, I've also been burping quite a lot. Is this something I should be concerned about? What could be causing this?

I've been dealing with a fissure for about 2 months now at the 6 o'clock position and have been using ano metrogyl cream along with meds as prescribed. How long does it usually take to heal completely and will I eventually need surgery for this?

Anal fissures usually heal within a few weeks, often within 3-6 weeks, with appropriate treatment. If your fissure has persisted for 2 months, it may be considered chronic and might require more intensive treatment, including potentially surgery.
