I've been dealing with anxiety and these really troublesome gastric issues. Sometimes after lunch, if I'm out in the sun and either walk about a kilometer or climb some stairs, my heart rate just shoots up and my blood pressure feels high. But it usually calms down after about 15 minutes. I'm wondering if there's a link between the lunch and these heart rate spikes when I'm active like this. Could it really be connected to my gastric problems?

It is possible that your gastric issues and anxiety are contributing to your high heart rate and high blood pressure during physical activity. To help with your symptoms, you can try taking Pantoprazole (40mg) for your gastric issues and Escitalopram (10mg) for anxiety. Additionally, you can take Propranolol (20mg) before physical activity to help lower your heart rate and blood pressure. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medications.

Question

I'm really struggling with anal fissures because of constipation for over a year now, and I've been in a lot of pain. I tried seeing a gynecologist, and they gave me some meds for five days, but nothing's changed. I'm usually on a routine in the morning with bowel movements, but it's been painful for so long. I've switched up my diet to include more fiber and fluids, but I still feel the pain. The only relief I get is from using Cremaffin Plus syrup at night and nifecaine cream around bowel movements, but if I miss the syrup even for a night, the pain is unbearable the next day. We're thinking about having kids, but I'm concerned if these medications might affect conception. How long can I keep using the syrup without any long-term effects? Is there a solid solution for my situation, and what can I expect if there's a treatment?

Question

I'm trying to figure out if theres any link between IBS and chronic sinusitis. I've been dealing with IBS for the past 2 years and around the same time my sinus problems began. I also noticed candida overgrowth in my oesophagus and patches on my skin, especially around my shoulder, chest, stomach, and back area. After struggling with balanitis treatment for months, I ended up needing surgery. Ive tried everything from seeing different doctors to changing my diet and practicing yoga, but my IBS symptoms havent really gotten better. Lately, Ive observed that when my sinus issues calm down, my digestion seems to improve as well. Could there be a connection between these issues?
