I'm Nilesh Jain from Mumbai, 35 years old. I don't have diabetes, but I've got cervical spondylosis. Lately, after lunch, I've been having loose motions. It happened yesterday as well, went four times, and noticed my stool was a very dark brown. Could this be a sign of a heart attack?

Loose motion and dark brown stool after lunch are not typical signs of a heart attack. In your case, it may be related to your diet or other gastrointestinal issues. However, it is important to monitor your symptoms and stay hydrated. To address the loose motion, you can take over-the-counter medication like loperamide (Imodium) as directed on the package. If the problem persists or worsens, it would be advisable to consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

Can you reverse redundant colon without surgery and what treatments are available for it
Redundant colon, or dolichocolon, is a condition where the colon is longer than normal, creating extra loops and folds, which can sometimes cause symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, and constipation. While surgery is sometimes necessary to address severe cases or complications, many people can live with a redundant colon without needing intervention. In some cases, nonsurgical options like decompression procedures or lifestyle changes can be used to manage symptoms.

I've been feeling like there's something in my throat, almost like a lump or leftover food. Its kind of weird, and I also notice these small burps or like there's something stuck that makes me want to manually burp. Lately, I've been having some gas issues too, especially after I eat. Any idea what's going on?
Your symptoms suggest acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), where stomach acid flows back into the throat, causing discomfort, lump sensation, and burping; consider antacids, proton pump inhibitors, or H2 blockers, and lifestyle changes like avoiding trigger foods, eating smaller meals, and elevating your head while sleeping.
