Question

I'm hoping for some advice on a couple of habits I've had since I was a kid. I've been eating slate pencil since I was in 4th grade, and now that I'm 23, I'm wondering if that's harmful. Also, every now and then, I find myself eating raw rice. Are there any risks with that? On top of all this, I've been dealing with a pretty severe problem of piles. Could these habits be making my condition worse? Would love to get some insights on this.

My doctor switched me from lactifiber to lactihep plus for my hard stools. I'm supposed to take 10ml, but I'm not sure how much water I should mix it with. Could you guide me on this?

Question

I'm feeling this pain on the right side of my upper neck, and it seems to radiate towards my throat and jaw. Sometimes there's this weird tightness on the right side of my face too. I'm already dealing with GERD and taking PPIs like rabeprazole actapro and antacids. I'm worrieddo you think this could be related to acid reflux?

Question

I've been dealing with some throat irritation on and off for the last couple of weeks, and now it feels like mucus is traveling from my throat down to my chest, especially after I eat. Eating doesn't bother me, but afterward, it feels like the mucus shifts to my chest, even though I don't have a cough, cold, or a fever. I've also noticed a bit of pain in the middle of my chest. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
