Question

I've been dealing with constipation for about a year now, and it's been really tough. I end up straining a lot, and sometimes a small part of my rectum sticks out after I use the bathroom. It's kind of worrying because I can push it back in, but it still causes some pain, especially when I'm sitting. I also feel like I need to go to the bathroom around six times a day, which is pretty embarrassing and scary. I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to fix this without having to go through surgery. Any advice would be super helpful.

Question

I'm having a real struggle with gas. No matter what I eat, it just keeps forming, and it's got me so frustrated. I went on a diet to try to manage it, but now my blood pressure's tanked, and I'm feeling this intense pain on the left side of my chest. It's making it hard for me to breathe. I'm feeling pretty worried about all of this. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I should do?

Question

I'm dealing with this phlegm in my chest for quite a while now, even though I don't have a cough. It's super annoying, especially when I'm eating, and it's making me feel like I'm going to vomit, sometimes to the point where I end up losing all the food I just ate. What could be causing this? Should I be worried, and what can I do to get rid of it?
