I swallowed warm food too quickly and now my esophagus is really hurting every time I cough or try to eat or drink something. Is this normal, and should I be worried? What can I do to make it stop hurting?

I understand your concern and frustration.

The buzzing sound (tinnitus) and tragus pain after earwax removal could be due to:

  • Ear canal irritation
  • Middle ear muscle spasms
  • Temporary nerve sensitivity

Consult your ENT doctor again to discuss:

  • Further examination and treatment
  • Tinnitus management options (e.g., sound therapy, counseling)
  • Pain relief measures (e.g., topical anesthetics, warm compresses)

Remember, tinnitus can be managed, and symptoms may improve with time and proper care.

I've been dealing with this chest pain for the last three months, and it's really starting to stress me out. What's weird is that it happens more when I'm resting or trying to sleep. I've gone through a bunch of tests like a chest X-ray, TMT, Echo, ECG, and an endoscopy, and everything came back normal. Even my cardiologist says it's not a heart issue. I'm taking Nexpro for the gastric stuff, but it hasn't helped much. The pain is always on the left side, never the right. Do you think there's something else I should be checking out, or any advice on what this could be?

Ecg and chest-ray pa view is advised to the patient.

Is it normal to poop 5 times a day?

There is no normal bowel movement. It can range from three times a day to three times a week. However, your normal pattern may be different from these numbers. If you have always been having five bowel movements daily then it is normal pattern for you. But, if this is a new change along with change is stool consistency then you might be having any intestinal infection or disease for which you need to consult a doctor.

I'm having these weird feelings where it seems like my breath just pauses. It comes from my stomach, almost like there's a bubble that hits my upper abdomen, and then my breath takes a pause. It makes me really nervous when it happens. Is this something serious I should be worried about?

Patient is advised pulmonary function tests,sputum examination for AFB and culture and sensitivity test,spirometry and complete blood count.
