I've been dealing with this left-side chest pain and I'm really worried. I went to the emergency room because of it, and while my ECG was normal, the doctor gave me some antiacid and anti-gas meds. It seemed to help a bit after a couple of days. A cardiologist later ran heart tests, which also came back normal, and he suggested the same meds. But today, the pain spiked again, and although it eased a bit after I ate and took more medicine, it's still lingering. I'm not feeling pain anywhere else, just in the left chest. I'm concerned about what could be causing this. Should I be consulting a different kind of doctor for better treatment?

I was cooking and noticed some tiny plastic bits in the food, which I removed right away. Now I'm a bit worriedwhat if I swallowed some by accident? Could something like that be harmful, even if it's a really tiny amount?

It's natural to worry, but if the plastic bits were very small and you removed most of them, there's likely no need for concern. Tiny, negligible amounts of plastic typically pass through the digestive system without causing harm. If you feel any discomfort or symptoms, consult a doctor for reassurance.

I've been having some issues since my C-section delivery about 10 days ago. I've noticed a mild constipation problem, but today was kind of alarming. I had stool twice, and the first one was a bit painful, but the second time, a few hours later, I noticed blood in my stool. My stool still feels pretty hard, and I'm really concerned about what's going on. Any advice on how to fix this?

Could you provide some guidance on what might be causing this or suggest any other treatment options?
