I've been feeling something really weird on the left side, just below my ribs for the past three months. It's like a mix of pain, ticklish sensations, and bubbling. At one point, I thought maybe I'd torn a muscle, so I rushed to emergency. They did an ECG, checked my blood pressure, and even took an X-ray, but everything came back normal. I'm on some meds that the doctor gave me from the GD Diabetes Centre like Voveran SR, Pan D, and Trinerve 75. But still, when I touch the area, it hurts a bit, and when I don't, it feels ticklish and painful at the same time. Any idea what's going on or if I should be concerned?

View allI've been dealing with hemorrhoids, but my last doctor said they were low grade. Lately, they've flared up a bit, and I've been feeling constantly tired and weak, sometimes even a little sick. I do feel better after a good bathroom trip, but there's no blood in my stool. Can hemorrhoids cause these kinds of symptoms, and what should I do about it? At what point do you think I should go back to the doctor for another check-up?
Incomplete bowel movements can lead to uneasiness and a sickly feeling. A consult with a general surgeon will help determine the extent of your hemorrhoids, and thereafter determine what kind of treatment will be suitable for you. You may require corticosteroid ointments with laxatives, or even surgical intervention. Lifestyle modifications which may help you include a high fibre diet, natural laxatives to help bowel movement, regular exercise to promote gastric motility, maintenance of a healthy BMI, and avoiding straining during bowel movements.

I'm experiencing a lot of saliva and after swallowing it, I feel this burning sensation in my stomach like acidity. Its really uncomfortable. What could be causing this and what should I do about it?
Can be a sign of acid reflux. You can try taking Omeprazole (brand name Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast for relief. Additionally, you can use Antacid syrup like Gaviscon 10-20ml after meals and at bedtime as needed for immediate relief from acidity symptoms. Avoid spicy and acidic foods, eat smaller meals, and avoid lying down immediately after eating to help reduce symptoms.
