Sometimes when I'm sleeping at night, my throat gets really dry, and in the morning, I notice a bad smell. I've also felt a bit of irritation in the middle of my chest while lying down. Plus, there's some sputum that comes up in the morning, but then it's gone for the rest of the day. What could be causing this?

View allI've been dealing with IBS for about 14 years now, and I also have issues with piles. It's been really tough managing both. Could you recommend a good doctor who specializes in these problems? Would really appreciate some guidance!
I understand how challenging IBS and piles can be. For personalized care, I recommend consulting a gastroenterologist who specializes in digestive disorders, and a proctologist for piles. They can guide you with tailored treatment options to manage both conditions effectively.

I've been waking up every morning feeling like I'm going to puke, but I don't actually vomit. It's just gagging, and sometimes a little bit of spit comes out. This has been happening for a few days now. I dont smoke or drink, and I eat a pretty normal dinnerabout four chapatis with sabji. I usually get about 6 to 9 hours of sleep a night. What's going on with me, and how can I stop this from happening?
It sounds like you might be experiencing morning nausea or acid reflux, especially since you mention gagging and saliva production. This can happen due to the stomach acids irritating the esophagus after a long night without food. I recommend avoiding heavy meals late at night, and consider eating a lighter dinner. If this persists, you might want to consult a doctor to check for reflux or other underlying causes.

I've been seeing some light red, almost pink specks of blood on toilet paper for a while now, and it's starting to worry me. What could be causing this?
The presence of blood on toilet paper could be due to various reasons such as hemorrhoids, anal fissures, or gastrointestinal issues. It is important to consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis. In the meantime, you can use over-the-counter medications like Preparation H (contains phenylephrine and shark liver oil) for hemorrhoids or Anovate cream (contains lidocaine and hydrocortisone) for anal fissures. Follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging.
