I'm really worried about my mom. She's 68 and has a celiac condition, and her ESR just came back at 61, which seems high to me. Her hemoglobin is 9.6 gm, and she's also undergoing treatment for CLD. I'm trying to figure out why her ESR is so elevated. Plus, she's developed these allergy-like pimples on her back and stomach. Could these issues be related? What could be causing this?

I'm having some discomfort right at the opening of my anus, but there's no blood in my stools. I am also experiencing loose motions. Can you help me understand what's going on?

I'm sorry to hear about your discomfort. Pain in the anal area without bleeding, especially with loose motions, could be due to irritation, an anal fissure, or infection. Keep the area clean, stay hydrated, and consider taking a mild stool binder like ORS with electrolytes. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult a doctor for a proper examination.

I've been experiencing some pain right in the middle of my chest, and it's been happening whenever I eat spicy or non-veg dishes. It's been going on for a few days now, and I'm starting to get worried. Could it be something to do with the food, or is it something I should be more concerned about?

I've been having really bad burps, a severe stomach ache, and feeling like I might puke since last week. I went to see a general physician on the 16th of October, and he gave me some meds to take for five days. But then, my period started on the 21st, and I woke up with my face, eyes, hands, legs, and knees all swollen. I'm also feeling dizzy, still having burps, and that stomach ache hasn't gone away. Could this be a reaction to the medicine or maybe something else going on?

seems like you have a allergic reaction consult your doctor for further evaluation
