I've been feeling really uncomfortable lately with some persistent constipation, and now I've even started running a fever. I'm worried these two might be connected. Could constipation actually be the reason for my fever? Would love some insight on this.

Constipation itself does not typically cause fever. However, if constipation is severe and leads to complications such as a bowel obstruction or infection, then fever may occur as a result. It is important to address the underlying cause of constipation to prevent any potential complications.

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

I just swallowed a plum seed by mistake about an hour ago. It didn't cause me to choke, and I'm not in any pain at the moment. Should I be worried about this, or is there something I should be doing to make sure I'm okay?

Accidentally swallowing a medium sized plum seed should not cause any harm as long as you are not experiencing any pain or discomfort. However, it is important to monitor for any signs of abdominal pain, difficulty breathing, or choking sensation. To help pass the seed through your digestive system smoothly, you can drink plenty of water to aid in digestion. If you experience any unusual symptoms or discomfort, please seek medical attention immediately.
