I'm Nilesh Jain from Mumbai, 35 years old. I don't have diabetes, but I've got cervical spondylosis. Lately, after lunch, I've been having loose motions. It happened yesterday as well, went four times, and noticed my stool was a very dark brown. Could this be a sign of a heart attack?

Loose motion and dark brown stool after lunch are not typical signs of a heart attack. In your case, it may be related to your diet or other gastrointestinal issues. However, it is important to monitor your symptoms and stay hydrated. To address the loose motion, you can take over-the-counter medication like loperamide (Imodium) as directed on the package. If the problem persists or worsens, it would be advisable to consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm a bit concerned because I've been taking rabeprazole and domperidone for a couple of months now, but I haven't really noticed a lot of relief. Lately, I've also started feeling this soreness at the back of my throat, like there's some food stuck or something, even though there's no pain or trouble swallowing. Is it possible that this could be related to H. Pylori, and is it known to be difficult to treat? I'm just trying to figure out what's going on.
Based on your WBC (White Blood Cell) count: _Normal WBC range_: 4,000-11,000 cellsL _Your WBC count_: 12,100 cellsL (mildly elevated) _Elevated WBC count possible causes_: 1. _Stress_: Stress can cause a temporary increase in WBC count. 2. _Infection_: Mild infections, like a cold or flu, can also cause elevated WBC. 3. _Inflammation_: Yoga and pranayama are great, but intense physical activity can cause temporary inflammation, leading to elevated WBC. _Monitor and adjust_: 1. _Repeat WBC test_: After a few days to see if the count returns to normal. 2. _Manage stress_: Continue yoga and pranayama, and consider additional stress-reducing techniques. 3. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of water to help your body recover from stress and inflammation.

I've been eating raw rice for over two years now and I usually eat quite a lot every day. I'm starting to wonder if this habit could be bad for my health. Is eating raw rice harmful?
Eating raw rice can be harmful as it may lead to various health issues. It can cause digestive problems such as bloating, gas, and constipation. In severe cases, it can also lead to nutrient deficiencies due to the phytates present in raw rice that can interfere with nutrient absorption. I recommend seeking medical advice to address this habit.

I'm having this weird issue where I'm getting hot air from my anus. It's really uncomfortable to sit down, but I'm sure it's not piles because I've already had that checked out. Can you help me figure out what's going on and how I can deal with it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing issues related to gastrointestinal gas or irritation in the anal area, which can cause discomfort. I recommend staying hydrated, avoiding gas-producing foods, and using a soothing topical ointment. If the discomfort persists, its best to consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and treatment.
