I've been having some trouble with my anal area lately. It feels like it gets really tight and ends up hurting during bowel movements. It almost feels like the walls are tearing. What could be causing this, and how can I make it better?

The symptoms you're describing, including a narrowing of the anal opening, pain during bowel movements, and anal tears, suggest a possible diagnosis of anal stenosis or anal fissures; consult a gastroenterologist, proctologist, or a general surgeon for a thorough examination, which may include a digital rectal exam, anoscopy, or colonoscopy, to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan, which may involve topical creams, stool softeners, or surgical interventions.

View allI've been having issues with acidity and I'm trying to figure out what might be causing it. I have milk, honey, chapati bhaji, rice, and idli sambhar regularly. Can you help me figure out if any of these foods could be contributing to my acidity problems and if I should avoid them?
To control acidity, consider avoiding or reducing the following items from your daily diet: none of the listed foods are inherently acidic, but chapati bhaji (if the bhaji is spicy or made with acidic ingredients) and Sambhar (if it contains acidic ingredients like tomatoes or citrus) might exacerbate acidity; however, the primary culprit is likely something not listed; also, consider avoiding or reducing other common acidity triggers like citrus fruits, tomatoes, spicy or fatty foods, caffeine, and carbonated drinks.

I'm really concerned right now because I've been experiencing this tightness in my chest, and it feels like something is stuck in my throat. It's making it really difficult for me to sleep. My dad gave me a pantop tablet yesterday, and now my throat feels clear, and my chest is okayish, but there's still this uneasy feeling in my chest with a very slight pain. Last month, I dealt with a cold and cough with white phlegm for about 20 days, but that's gone now. With everything going on with COVID-19, I'm scared to visit a hospital. Do you think I should be taking any other medication, or is there anything else you can suggest?

I'm really worried after getting my usg report back. It says I have pancreatitis, and now I'm freaking out about whether this could be a sign of cancer. Can you help me understand what this means and what steps I should take next?
