I'm having some weird symptoms that are really worrying me. Sometimes my stomach makes these burping sounds, and I have this cough-like feeling and a lump in my throat. My chest feels tight, mostly on the left side but sometimes on the right too, and it gets really hard to lie down comfortably. I'm getting anxious and scared that it might be a heart attack or something serious. I haven't been able to sleep well for a long time. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

View allI'm having trouble with my bowel movements for the past two years. I've tried taking 12 full tablets of CremaLax to control it, but I'm worried about getting too used to it. I've also been eating a lot of fibrous vegetables, but they haven't really helped. Can you give me some advice on what else I could try?
Take 2 glasses of water in the morning. You can take isabgol husk for few days. Increase fruits, vegetables in your diet & drink 10-12 glasses of water.

I'm wondering about the normal range for pus cells and epithelial cells in a stool test. Also, if the stool test shows its reactive to acidic, is that something I should be worried about?
In a stool test, the normal range of pus cells is typically less than 5 cells per high power field (HPF), and the normal range of epithelial cells is usually less than 10-20 cells per HPF. If the stool is reactive to acid, it may indicate a potential concern such as malabsorption or infection.

I'm having some issues with my stomach, especially in the morning. There's this pain that comes along with motions, and it kinda feels like it's burning in my stomach and heart. Not too long ago, my doctor said it was food poisoning or an infection and gave me some meds for three days, which helped at first. But now the pain and motions are back just like before. What could be going on?
The recurring stomach pain, motion, and heartburn despite completing the prescribed medication for food poisoninginfection suggest a possible underlying condition such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), stomach ulcers, or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS); consider consulting your doctor again for further evaluation, potential endoscopy or imaging tests, and adjusted treatment, as well as making lifestyle changes like avoiding trigger foods, eating smaller meals, and managing stress.
