I'm on medication for irritable bowel with velgutlibrax and rejunex for the last three months, but my doctor has recently cut it down to just librax three times daily. While sometimes I only need to go to the washroom once a day, there are other days when it's 2 to 3 times. My stool is still kinda semi-loose. Is this the right treatment approach for me?

I'm struggling with chronic constipation, and my doctor advised me to take Pegred solution for three months. I've been using it on and off for over four years now. Lately, for the past month or so, I'm dealing with back pain, feeling weak, tired, sleepy during the day, and having issues with vomiting and indigestion. Can you help me understand what's happening? Do you have any suggestions for other medications for constipation?

You need to consult and get yourself examined to find out the cause for chronic constipation.

Hey, I've been having some breathing issues for the past six months and it's bothering me a lot. Im a 26-year-old guy with a lean build, but my belly sort of sticks out and I'm wondering if its related. Every night about 20 minutes after I fall asleep, I wake up suddenly feeling breathless and like my throat is narrowing. Drinking a glass of water seems to help, and then I can sleep through the rest of the night. In the morning, there's this discomfort in my upper chest, along with a weird taste in my mouth and it feels dry, which wakes me up. Sometimes I notice I clench my teeth in my sleep too. I've noticed whenever I eat, whether it's lunch or dinner, the discomfort in my stomach and chest gets worse and my breathing problems intensify. If I lie down for a while, it seems to help. And if I have a drink, the next day's breathing and eating feel even more difficult. The tightness in my chest and stomach is really noticeable when Im sitting down. Also, I walk 4 kilometers daily. Could these things be connected, and what should I do about it?

I've been dealing with IBS for about 14 years now, and I also have issues with piles. It's been really tough managing both. Could you recommend a good doctor who specializes in these problems? Would really appreciate some guidance!

I understand how challenging IBS and piles can be. For personalized care, I recommend consulting a gastroenterologist who specializes in digestive disorders, and a proctologist for piles. They can guide you with tailored treatment options to manage both conditions effectively.
