View allI've been dealing with an anal fissure for a while now and nothing seems to help stool softeners, isabgol, ointments, even sitz baths haven't made a difference. I really don't want surgery because I can't take time off work with my desk job. Are there any other ways to heal the fissure and get my sphincter back to normal without going under the knife?
Chronic anal fissure may improve with GTN or diltiazem ointments, Botox injections, and dietary changes—surgery is last resort.

I'm 32 years old and have been experiencing chest pain when I get angry or cry for the last six months. I checked with ECG and ECHO TMT, and everything came out normal. No palpitations or shortness of breath, but I do have a lot of belching and epigastric pain. Im taking two pantocid tablets now. It's scary because it feels like I might be having a heart attack. My gut says something isn't right, and it's really worrying me. Since the pain started, I've become quieter. Any idea what could be going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux, which can often mimic heart-related issues. The chest pain triggered by emotions, along with belching and epigastric pain, are common symptoms of acid reflux. Since your ECG, ECHO, and TMT results are normal, it is less likely to be related to your heart. To help with your symptoms, continue taking Pantocid as prescribed. Additionally, you can try taking an antacid like Rantac (150mg) when you experience epigastric pain. Avoid spicy and acidic foods, eat smaller meals, and try not to eat close to bedtime. It may also be helpful to elevate the head of your bed while sleeping. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it would be advisable to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and possible referral to a gastroenterologist.

I've been diagnosed with GERD grade 3 reflux and I'm wondering if surgery is an option for me. I'm really concerned about post-op complications is there a way to avoid them or are there alternatives I should consider?
If your symptoms did not improve with lifestyle changes or drug therapy, you may be a candidate for surgery. Some patients prefer a surgical approach as an alternative to a lifetime of taking medications. The goal of surgery for reflux disease is to strengthen the anti-reflux barrier.
