I've been feeling a bit uneasy ever since this incident a few months back when I was eating crunchy peanut butter and it got stuck in my food pipe. I experienced chest pain for about a week after that. Though it's been three months now, I'm still feeling kind of uneasy. I sometimes notice a vibration on the lower left side of my chest and have been dealing with this back pain for a couple of weeks. Is this something I should be worried about, or could it be related to acidity? Would really appreciate any advice you might have.

Question

Why do I feel like pooping but nothing comes out?

I've been having some issues for about a month now with not being able to completely pass my stools. Even when I try hard, it feels like my bowels aren't getting fully emptied, and I'm constantly feeling tired and sleepy. There's also this pain that's been persistent in my legs, right side of my stomach, and back area. I've noticed I'm coughing more often than usual too. Sometimes my lips feel a little burnt, and I keep getting this odd taste in my mouth. I often feel the urge to have a bowel movement, but when I get to the bathroom, the feeling just slows down. I can't seem to pass gas completely either, and it's like I can feel the gas moving around in my stomach. What could be causing all this?

Question

I recently went for a check-up and they found my spleen was enlarged at 13 cm and I have a grade 1 fatty liver. I did a bunch of tests like for malaria, typhoid, diabetes, thyroid, hepatitis B and C, ANA, and lipid profile, and everything came back normal except my bilirubin level is at 1.6 and my SGOT SGPT is around 5990. After sticking to regular exercise and a better diet for 50 days, I lost 6 kg, going from 87 to 81 kg. I still don't have any other symptoms but I feel some pain in my spleen area and now it's 14 cm in the ultrasound. I'm taking Udiliv 300 and vitamin E, but I've talked to a lot of doctors and still don't really understand why my spleen is enlarged. Can you help clarify what's going on?
