I've been having this chest discomfort that's mostly in the center, but sometimes it's a bit on the left side too. Plus, there's this back pain right in the middle of my back. Last year I talked to a gastroenterologist and had an endoscopy and a chest X-ray. They didn't spot anything except a gastric problem. But here I am, a year later, feeling the same kind of discomfort again. What could be going on? Should I be worried, or is this something common that happens with gastric issues?

I've been dealing with hemorrhoids for about a month now, and it's been really painful. On top of that, I've had pinworms for around 10 years. It seriously feels like I'm being stabbed with a knife in my anus. What can I do to ease this pain and get some relief?

-It sounds like you're in a lot of pain from your hemorrhoids. It's important to consult a doctor for proper treatment, as both the hemorrhoids and pinworms can cause discomfort that requires specific care.
