I've been having some health issues since June 10th. Initially, it was mild but seems to have gotten worse. I even got a COVID test done on June 17th, and thankfully it was negative. The main issues are shortness of breath, especially after meals or some physical activity, a feeling of choking in the throat just below my neck, constant burping throughout the day, and weakness. Oddly enough, I sleep well and feel alright for about a couple of hours during the day. I saw a Pulmonologist on the 30th, and after doing some tests like Echo, X-ray, and HRCT, the report didnt show anything serious. They prescribed Montair Fx, Mucotab ET 600mg, PAN D, and Etilaam. But it's been 8 days on these meds with no real improvement. Im starting to worry. Could you suggest which type of doctor I should consult next?

"Based on your symptoms and the medications you have been prescribed, it seems like you may be experiencing acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) along with some respiratory symptoms. Since you have already seen a Pulmonologist and undergone tests which did not show anything serious, you may consider consulting a Gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management of your symptoms. Regarding your current medications: 1. Montair Fx (Montelukast + Fexofenadine) - Take it daily for allergies and respiratory symptoms. Dosage: As prescribed by your doctor. 2. Mucotab ET 600mg (Etophylline + Theophylline) - Take three times a day for respiratory symptoms. Dosage: 600mg three times a day. 3. PAN D (Pantoprazole) - Take it twice a day for acid reflux. Dosage: As prescribed by your doctor. 4. Etilaam - Take it once at night for anxiety or sleep issues. Dosage: As prescribed by your doctor. Since you have not seen improvement after 8 days of medication, it would be advisable to follow up with a Gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management. They can provide additional guidance and treatment options for your symptoms."

View allI've been dealing with internal hemorrhoids for about 3 years now, but over the last 6 months it's gotten worse with frequent bleeding. I'm really worried and don't know much about this condition. Surgery isn't an option for me are there natural ways to treat this? What would you suggest for relief and healing?
Internal hemorrhoids can be managed naturally, especially with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter treatments. Increasing fiber in your diet, staying hydrated, and avoiding straining during bowel movements can significantly reduce symptoms and promote healing. Over-the-counter creams and suppositories containing hydrocortisone, lidocaine, or witch hazel can also provide relief from pain, swelling, and itching.

Ecg and x-ray chest pa view is advised to the patient. Seroflo rotahaler sos is advised to the patient for breathing difficulty.
