Question

I'm a 40-year-old male and for the past week, I've been noticing mucus discharge from my anus without any stool, just liquid mucus. I do have some gastric and digestion issues but no other problems like fever, BP, diabetes, injuries, or surgeries. What could be causing this and what treatment would you suggest?

Rectal mucus discharge without stool, along with existing gastrointestinal issues, could be related to conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), hemorrhoids, or even certain infections. It's crucial to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment, as the underlying cause needs to be determined

Question

I'm a bit concerned about my recent colonoscopy results. The report mentions bits of colonic mucosa with dense patches of lymphocytes and a diagnosis of non-specific colitis. It also says there's no distortion of cryptitis or crypt abscess, and no granulomas were found. Can you tell me what this all means and suggest a treatment plan?

Question

I've noticed that every now and then, after I eat, I get this feeling of suffocation where it's hard to breathe, even when I make sure to eat my food slowly. It's starting to worry me and I just can't figure out why it's happening. Could it be something serious, or maybe just how I'm eating? Any advice on what might be going on would be really helpful.

Question

Can acid reflux cause heart palpitations? I've been dealing with really bad acidity and it's freaking me out a bit. My GP suggested some tests like an echo, echocardiogram, and blood tests but everything came back normal. Is it possible that the acid reflux could be causing the palpitations or should I be worried about something else?
