I've had stage 3 hemorrhoids and SRUS diagnosed by colonoscopy back in August 2019. They weren't painful before but for the past month, I've been getting sharp stabbing pains during bowel movements and even at rest. Oxerutin isn't helping much. Should I get another colonoscopy to check on the hemorrhoids and SRUS or try natural remedies first? Also, is it safe to split the Oxerutin pill into thirds since I can't swallow it whole?

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.

I've been experiencing some trouble breathing after I have dinner and then lie down in bed. It's strange because it doesn't really happen all the time, just usually after I eat and go to lie down. I end up having to take these deep breaths through my mouth because it feels like I'm not getting enough air. But what's odd is that if I wake up in the middle of the night, I don't have the same problem. Is this something I should be concerned about?

I've heard that consuming Kurkure and then taking Eno can be really dangerous and might even be fatal. Is there any truth to that? Should I be worried about mixing these two?

No, it's a myth that consuming Kurkure (a spicy snack) with Eno (an antacid) can be fatal; while it's true that the combination may cause discomfort, bloating, or gas due to the rapid release of carbon dioxide, there is no scientific evidence to support the claim that it can kill a human.
