Question 1

I've been dealing with burps and these weird gurgling sounds in my throat for the past two months. Whenever I walk, take the stairs, or lie down, there's this liquid sound in my throat too. I have this mild dry cough and sometimes feel a bit breathless. Even though I had a chest X-ray a month ago that came back normal, I still get these random vibrations in my chest. I'm not sure what's causing all of this, but it's really tiring me out. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

Accepted Answer

ENT opinion is advised to the patient.

Question 2

I've been having this issue for about six months now where every time I eat, I start to gag and it kinda feels like I'm gonna vomit. It seems to get worse the more I eat. I tried taking pantoprazole, but it hasn't really helped. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I should try?

Accepted Answer

There could be multiple reasons for your problem. How healthy are you. Increased weitgh an be one of the causes. Also Change the type of food you eat. Take light and non spicy food for now. Your gagging sensation comes from throat or stomach? Take 1 tab Rabekind DSR daily empty stomach. Tab Emset 4 mg 1 tab daily 2 times a day, Tab Herbolax (Himalaya) 1 tab daily once a day. Continue these for 1 week and inform me. Do mild exercise daily and  avoid going to bed immediately after meals.

Question 3

I found out I have a polyp during an endoscopy, and the doctor recommended a polypectomy. I'm a bit worried could this be an early sign of cancer? Also, is there any chance the polypectomy itself could cause malignancy later? And is there a way to tell if the polyp is benign or malignant without surgery or removing it?

Accepted Answer

A colon polyp found during endoscopy doesn't automatically mean cancer, but it's a good idea to remove it for preventative measures, as it can potentially become cancerous. While polypectomy itself doesn't cause malignancy, it can remove polyps that might otherwise become cancerous, There's no way to definitively tell if a polyp is benign or malignant without a biopsy, and the doctor will usually take samples during the polypectomy procedure.

I've been diagnosed with an anal fissure and just got my report. Is surgery the only way to fix this or can it be treated with medication? I'm a bit worried about going under the knife if there are other options.

The majority of anal fissures do not require surgery. The most common treatment for an acute anal fissure consists of making one's stool more consistent with a diet high in fiber as well as utilizing over-the-counter fiber supplementation (totaling 25-35 grams of fiber/day).
