I've had painful anal fissures and piles for the last six months and it's really bothering me. Can you suggest some treatment options that don't involve surgery? I'm worried about the discomfort and want to know what else might help.

Anal fissures often heal within a few weeks with appropriate home treatment. Take steps to keep the stool soft, such as increasing your intake of fiber and fluids. Soak in warm water for 10 to 20 minutes several times a day, especially after bowel movements. This can help relax the sphincter and promote healing

I'm having this sensation where my chest feels really tight, like there's gas trapped in there, especially when I'm lying down. Sometimes, I wake up suddenly with this kind of unsettling sensation shooting up to my brain, and there's this bitter taste in my mouth. It's starting to worry me a bit, and I'm not sure what's going on. Can you help?

I'm having breathing problems and it's been going on for a week now. I even went for an ECG and it came back normal. I've dealt with gastritis before and was on meds for it. Could this gastritis be causing my shortness of breath?

Yes, gastritis and other gastrointestinal issues like acid reflux can sometimes cause or contribute to shortness of breath. This happens due to the proximity of the stomach to the diaphragm, which can become irritated and lead to feelings of chest discomfort or shortness of breath. Since your ECG is normal, its less likely that your symptoms are heart-related. However, its important to manage your gastritis effectively and monitor your symptoms. If your breathing problems persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation to rule out other potential causes and ensure you receive appropriate treatment.

I've been dealing with acidity for the past six months and I'm getting a bit worried. I've tried staying away from hot milk products like tea and coffee, and that seems to help a little. Whenever it's really bad, I take a PAN 40 tablet and mix some Eno in water. But sometimes I also have this chest pain, especially when I lie down. Are there any medications or lifestyle or food changes you'd suggest? Should I keep using PAN and Eno? Do they have any side effects I should know about?

avoid junk food ,take frequent small meals ,take food 2hrs before bed Time
