I'm having trouble with my breathing at times, especially when I'm lying down, and I also experience a lot of acid reflux and burping. Could this be connected to heart issues or is it more likely something to do with my digestion? Who should I get in touch with for this?

View allI'm experiencing this strange sensation like something is crawling in my anus, but I can't see any worms or anything visible. This usually happens after I use the toilet and if I've been using the water pipe a lot. Could it possibly be some kind of infection from the water? There's no itching, just an uncomfortable and weird feeling like something's crawling inside. What could this be?
Possible helminthic infection. I recommend taking a single dose of Albendazole 400mg tablet to treat the possible infection. Additionally, maintaining good hygiene practices, such as washing hands frequently and keeping the anal area clean, can help prevent reinfection. If symptoms persist, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really struggling with some left side chest tightness I've been having for the past couple of months. Sometimes it spreads to my shoulder and neck, and it even feels like something is stuck in my throat. I've gone through a bunch of cardiac tests like an ECG, Echo, treadmill test, and blood work, and they've all come back normal. I've also seen an ENT, an internist, and a neurologist. They all say everything looks fine. I'm on meds for my blood pressure (Amlopine 5mg) and cholesterol (Atorvastatin 20mg), and both are normal according to my recent check-up. But I'm still not feeling any better. Any idea what's going on or what I should do next?
