I've been noticing my stomach has this pulsating sensation, especially when I'm sitting or sleeping upright. I've been dealing with IBS and gas, but the pulsating started around 8 months ago and it's got me a bit anxious. It even feels more intense when I start to think about it. It almost feels like a heartbeat. Should I be worried about this?

Pulsation of stomach is not related to IBS. Pulsation can be normally seen in thin build person where you will feel the pulsation at the exact time as the heart beat(there actually exist few microsecond difference but cannot appreciate) Different disease wherein we see the pulsation in stomach are Abdominal Aorta Aneurysm(AAA), vascular malformation, Thyroid disorders and many more for which you will need to do certain investigations.

View allI'm really struggling with anal fissures because of constipation for over a year now, and I've been in a lot of pain. I tried seeing a gynecologist, and they gave me some meds for five days, but nothing's changed. I'm usually on a routine in the morning with bowel movements, but it's been painful for so long. I've switched up my diet to include more fiber and fluids, but I still feel the pain. The only relief I get is from using Cremaffin Plus syrup at night and nifecaine cream around bowel movements, but if I miss the syrup even for a night, the pain is unbearable the next day. We're thinking about having kids, but I'm concerned if these medications might affect conception. How long can I keep using the syrup without any long-term effects? Is there a solid solution for my situation, and what can I expect if there's a treatment?
It sounds like you're experiencing chronic pain due to an anal fissure, which can be aggravated by constipation. Despite your efforts with diet and medications, if the pain persists, it might be worth seeking a second opinion, as other treatments like topical nitrates or botox injections could help. Regarding conception, Cremaffin Plus and nifecaine cream are generally safe for short-term use, but it's advisable to discuss them with your doctor during the planning phase. Treatment duration and improvement vary, but typically, with proper management, healing can occur in a few weeks to months.

I get really nauseous and start vomiting whenever I travel, especially on long journeys. It's incredibly uncomfortable and makes traveling difficult for me. Are there any remedies or tips to help with this issue?
To alleviate travel-induced vomiting, also known as motion sickness, try these remedies: 1) choose a seat in the front or middle of the vehicle, 2) keep your eyes on the horizon, 3) avoid reading or screens, 4) take motion sickness medication like dimenhydrinate (Dramamine) or meclizine (Bonine) 30 minutes before travel, 5) use acupressure bands or ginger-based products, 6) avoid heavy meals before travel, and 7) try relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation;
