Having piles (hemorrhoids) as a teenager is uncommon, but not unheard of, and it's essential to consult a doctor to rule out underlying conditions like constipation, diarrhea, or inflammatory bowel disease, and in the meantime, try home remedies like increasing fiber intake, drinking plenty of water, exercising regularly, and applying warm compresses or witch hazel to the affected area to alleviate symptoms.

I'm feeling pretty confused and a bit worried here. Back in July 2020, I noticed it was hard to take a full deep breath all day long. It's been months now, like seven, and I've seen multiple doctors, but this hasn't gone away. It's kind of weird because my normal breathing is okay, and I don't have any other symptoms other than a lot of burping. Do you have any idea what could be causing this?

GERD I can think this diagnosis according to your symptoms or maybe anxiety issue! take pantop for 5 days

Im having trouble brushing my teeth recently because I feel like Im going to vomit, even though the toothbrush doesnt go deep into my mouth. This only started happening in the mornings, which never used to be an issue before. Its weird since Im using the same toothpaste I always have. Any ideas on what might be causing this and what I should do about it?

Some people have morning sickness better change your tooth paste if still nt reduced take pand tablet (40mg) at night 30 minutes before food.
