I've been having this pain on the right side below my chest for the last two days, especially when I breathe and yawn. I've also been burping all day. This started after I was fasting on Saturday and had liquid fasting on Monday. I did take a gas tablet yesterday, but the pain is still there today when I woke up. I can't visit a hospital right now because of the lockdown and the situation outside. Do you think this could just be gas pain?

I'm experiencing some itching and a sensation of something pinching in my anus, but I can't see anything there. It mostly happens when I'm sitting or if I'm walking quickly. What could be causing this?

Your symptoms suggest anal itching (pruritus ani) or rectal pain, possibly due to hemorrhoids, anal fissures, or levator ani syndrome, exacerbated by pressure from sitting or walking; consult a gastroenterologist or proctologist for a proper evaluation and treatment.

I've been dealing with navel displacement for a while now. It's causing me a lot of gastric heaviness and my stomach always feels bloated. Is there any way to fix this for good? Plus, I'm having trouble with not completely evacuating. What should I do?

Navel displacement can lead to gastric issues and bloating. To help with this condition, you can try taking Simethicone (Gas-X) for bloating and Gas Relief. For incomplete evacuation, you can try a stool softener like Docusate Sodium (Colace) to help with bowel movements. Additionally, incorporating fiber supplements like Metamucil can also aid in improving bowel regularity. Remember to stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
