I'm experiencing this strange sensation like something is crawling in my anus, but I can't see any worms or anything visible. This usually happens after I use the toilet and if I've been using the water pipe a lot. Could it possibly be some kind of infection from the water? There's no itching, just an uncomfortable and weird feeling like something's crawling inside. What could this be?

Possible helminthic infection. I recommend taking a single dose of Albendazole 400mg tablet to treat the possible infection. Additionally, maintaining good hygiene practices, such as washing hands frequently and keeping the anal area clean, can help prevent reinfection. If symptoms persist, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Question

I've been having some health issues since June 10th. Initially, it was mild but seems to have gotten worse. I even got a COVID test done on June 17th, and thankfully it was negative. The main issues are shortness of breath, especially after meals or some physical activity, a feeling of choking in the throat just below my neck, constant burping throughout the day, and weakness. Oddly enough, I sleep well and feel alright for about a couple of hours during the day. I saw a Pulmonologist on the 30th, and after doing some tests like Echo, X-ray, and HRCT, the report didnt show anything serious. They prescribed Montair Fx, Mucotab ET 600mg, PAN D, and Etilaam. But it's been 8 days on these meds with no real improvement. Im starting to worry. Could you suggest which type of doctor I should consult next?

Question

I've been dealing with this issue where I'm producing way too much saliva every day, and it's been going on for years. It's like I constantly need to spit, and if I try to swallow it, I start feeling nauseous. I also get this urge to burp a lot. I work out regularly and stay away from smoking and drinking. It's really getting on my nerves having to spit all the time. Any idea what might be causing this or how to make it stop?

Question

I've been having some trouble with my digestion for a couple of months. It feels like my stool isn't getting cleared properly. After eating dinner, my stomach feels really heavy and I start forming a lot of gas. It's even starting to feel like my stomach is getting inflated. I'm a bit worried and wondering what might be causing this. Could you give me some insight?
