Why do I feel like pooping but nothing comes out?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It can be because of lack of fibre in diet and some intestinal conditions like irritable bowel syndrome. Try to include high fiber foods such as Pears, strawberries, apple, oat meal, brown rice, banana, broccoli, green leafy vegetables (kale, spinach), avocado, carrots, tomato, beans and sweet potato in diet and take plenty of fluids.If issue still persist then consult a doctor.

View allI'm having a bit of a worrying situation here. I had some serious gas troubles yesterday and took a Rantac 300mg tablet last night and again this morning. The gas issue seems sorted, but now I'm feeling a sharp pain under my right ribs whenever I take a deep breath. On top of that, my neck is hurting, and the pain under my ribs gets worse when I'm sitting or lying on my right side. What could be causing this?
It sounds like you may have irritation or inflammation in the area under your right ribs, possibly from acid reflux or a muscular issue. Since the pain worsens with breathing and movement, consider seeing a doctor to rule out any serious conditions like gallbladder or liver problems. Meanwhile, continue avoiding heavy meals, and take Rantac as prescribed.

I've been getting these muscle pains that feel just like a heart attack, but every time, it's diagnosed as acidity. This has been happening for six years now. And in the last two years, I've started having panic attacks that again feel like I'm having a heart attack. I've done stress tests and an echo test, and fortunately, they turned out fine. I've also had gastroscopy done twice. What could be causing these symptoms? Could it just be stress or something else? I'm really looking for some guidance on what steps to take next.
It sounds like you may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain that is mimicking heart attack symptoms, along with acidity symptoms and panic attacks. Since your stress test, echo test, and gastroscopy have all come back normal, it is reassuring that there are no major cardiac or gastrointestinal issues. For the muscle pains, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Additionally, you may benefit from muscle relaxants such as Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) to help with the muscle pain. For acidity symptoms, you can try antacids such as Tums or Rolaids to help with heartburn and indigestion. For panic attacks, you may benefit from anti-anxiety medications such as Xanax (alprazolam) or Ativan (lorazepam) as needed to help manage the symptoms. It is also important to practice stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, and regular exercise to help manage both the muscle pains and panic attacks. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm experiencing a burning sensation in my lower abdomen, and my bowel movements have been irregular lately. Theres no sign of a UTI, and all my test reports came back normal. Should I be concerned about these symptoms, and what might be causing this discomfort?
