I'm dealing with really painful hemorrhoids and it's getting hard for me to function properly. My stool is really hard and difficult to pass, and I just end up feeling so bloated if I don't have a clear stomach. It's painful whether I'm sitting or walking and I'm honestly super stressed out about it. I've been trying homeopathic medicines but they don't seem to do anything for me anymore. Can you suggest anything that might actually help? Also, things like isabgol that are supposed to act as stool softeners seem to harden it more, which is confusing. What should I do?

I've been struggling with a weird issue for the past couple of months and could use some advice on what's going on. After every meal, I feel this strong urge to go to the bathroom, and while the stool seems normal, it still concerns me. To make things more confusing, sometimes after I clean up, that urge comes back, but nothing happens. I'm really getting worried about what could be causing this. Can you shed any light on what might be happening?

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?
Yes, acid reflux can cause palpitations. When stomach acid irritates the esophagus, it can lead to discomfort and sensations that may make you feel like your heart is racing or skipping beats. Anxiety and worry about these symptoms can also contribute to palpitations. Since your ECG, echo, and blood tests all came back normal, it's reassuring that there's likely no underlying heart condition causing your palpitations. Managing your acid reflux through lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, and possibly medications as prescribed by your doctor can help alleviate these symptoms. If your palpitations persist or worsen, follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
