I've been having this dull chest pain for about two weeks now, and I can't shake the worry. It's mostly on the left side and sometimes comes with numbness and pain in my left arm and shoulder. Plus, I notice it more after doing any physical activity. On another note, I've been having green stools for the last couple of days, along with bloating, gas, and constipation. I even tried taking Dulcoflex, but it just resulted in watery green stools. I had two ECGs done, and both were normal, so my cardiologist thinks its unlikely to be a heart condition. I'm also dealing with obesity, gallstones, and kidney stones, and I've been on meds for acidity and muscle pain for a couple of weeks without any relief. Im not sure what I should do next. Should I see a gastroenterologist or stick with the cardiologist? I'm really confused about what these symptoms could mean. What do you suggest I do next?

The sensation of hot air and burning in your throat could be due to acid reflux, throat inflammation, or irritation; try gargling with warm salt water, drinking plenty of fluids, and avoiding spicy or acidic foods;

I'm 23 and I've been dealing with constipation for the past six months, even though I eat well. I saw a gastroenterologist and followed their treatment plan, but the relief was only temporary and the issue keeps coming back. I take Meftal Spas for my period pain and read somewhere that this medication might affect bowel movements. Could that be causing my constipation? I also feel lazy all the time and have a thyroid problem. What should I do about this?
Meftal Spas, which contains dicyclomine and paracetamol, can indeed cause constipation as a side effect. To help with your constipation, you can try taking a stool softener like Duphalac (Lactulose) 15-30 ml once daily at night. Additionally, increasing your fiber intake with a supplement like Metamucil (Psyllium) 1 tablespoon mixed with water once or twice daily can also be beneficial. Make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day and stay physically active. If your symptoms persist, it's important to consult with your doctor for further evaluation and management of your constipation.
