View allI've been dealing with some really uncomfortable symptoms and I'm getting kinda worried. My stomach has been bothering me a lot with gastritis, and Im burping a lot too. I feel this pain on the left side of my abdomen and this heaviness in the middle of my chest, especially when I try to sleep. There's this weird tight feeling in my throat and one side of my nose swells up. Whenever I take a deep breath, my ear kinda closes off which feels strange. When Im trying to sleep, sometimes my heart starts racing and I find it hard to breathe. My head feels heavy throughout the day which is really annoying. I havent lost any weight, Im not losing my appetite, and I dont smoke or drinkI'm vegetarian too. Does this all sound serious? Any idea what might be going on?
it is due to sinusitis or deviated nasal septum. take steam inhalation

My friend has been experiencing stomach pain ever since she lifted a heavy bucket of water two days ago. She's tried some meds, but they didnt help at all. She even tried a massage to relieve the pain, but it seems to have made things worse. She saw a doctor who said its normal and will heal soon, but there's been no improvement. Should we be concerned, or is there something else we could try?
get usg scan done for further evaluation

My doctor said one side of my anal sphincter is too tight and prescribed meds, but mentioned surgery if it doesn't work. Are there other options besides surgery or any tips to help loosen it naturally?
Yes, there are options besides surgery to address a tight anal sphincter. Besides the medications your doctor prescribed, consider non-surgical interventions like Kegel exercises, biofeedback, and bowel training. Other treatments include botulinum toxin (Botox) injections, and in some cases, a sphincterotomy may be considered
