I've been having this sharp pain on the right side below my chest for the last couple of days, especially when I breathe. My blood pressure seems normal, but my pulse rate is over 100. I'm a bit worried about what could be going on. Can you help me understand what might be causing this?

View allI've been having narrow stools for about a month now. They're not super thin, but definitely thinner than they used to be. Sometimes they go back to a normal size, but other times they're still pretty narrow. Should I be concerned about this?
It's important to rule out any underlying causes. I recommend you try using a stool softener like Colace (docusate sodium) to help with your symptoms. Take 100mg of Colace orally once a day. Additionally, increase your fiber intake and stay hydrated to promote healthy bowel movements. If your symptoms persist, consider seeing a gastroenterologist for further evaluation.

I've been dealing with ongoing diarrhea for the past couple of weeks. It's strange because I'm not getting dehydrated or feeling tired, but when the abdominal pain hits, I have to rush to the restroom. I've noticed that sometimes the stools are loose, but not always; they're mostly normal. I've tried taking Lomofen tablets, but they don't seem to make a difference. Could you help me understand what's going on?
