Is My Chest Pain Acid Reflux or a Medical Emergency?

Patient's Query

I'm having chest pain in the middle, below my ribs, it feels tight, and aches, and causes a sharp pain when I move forward, and I, wondering it it is just aside reflux or should I got to the hospital?

Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar

You should see a gastroenterologist for the assessment of your symptom of chest pain. Whereas the acid reflux might be a possible cause but it is necessary to rule out the other serious diseases like heart problems. Immediate medical attention should be sought without delay to establish an early diagnosis and treatment.

I wanted to ask why is there blood in my stool? I have had some blood in my poop before because of hemorrhoids, but I'm concerned now because this time it was more than just blood on the toilet paper, it was also on the toilet water and in the stool. When I did try to poop, it was hard and some part was sharp too, which is making me think that it was because of that, but I googled why and it made me overthink that I might have a serious problem.

Blood in stool can be caused by different causes like hemorrhoids, anal fissures, inflammatory bowel disease, infections, polyps. But, since there is also blood in the toilet water, so it will be prescient to consult a gastroenterologist immediately. They can do the physical examination, suggest tests, and give the required treatment.

Your dad has health proble­ms. Alcohol harms people with liver damage­, no gall bladder, and diabetes. Since­ your dad has these issues, drinking alcohol worse­ns things.

Constipation can happen due to not eating well or moving around enough. Try to eat more fruits, and veggies, and drink plenty of water. Also, avoid junk food and oily stuff. These changes might help you feel better.

Hi doctor, um, good evening. I'm coming to you today contacting a clinic with an inquiry. (0:07) So I suffer from very bad anxiety and I recently got a therapist which was only like two months (0:14) ago or so. So within that time frame I've had blood tests done, total blood count and all of (0:21) that and it turns out that I'm not anemic. So within I would say like the past weeks or within (0:27) you know the past year or so occasionally I would get like you know stomach symptoms like diarrhea (0:32) or whatever which my doctor thought was probably IBS and I would get the occasional blood or whatever (0:37) when I strain and stuff like that. So um within the past month I was stressing myself out non-stop (0:45) like I'm constantly stressing but I'm hearing people saying now that I lost a bit of weight (0:50) but my stomach, weight, my legs, my whole body they're the same. I just seem to have lost weight (0:56) within my arms and it's making me freak out because recently today I had a bowel movement and (1:02) I saw the tad little bit of blood again and I've been constantly thinking that I have collateral (1:08) aka colon cancer at the age of 22 and it's really freaking me out and I seem to just cannot (1:15) stop thinking that I have that doctor and it's making my anxiety bad and it's giving me suicidal (1:21) thoughts due to the fact that I think that I have this cancer.

It see­ms you're worried about your he­alth, especially colon cancer. Having that cance­r at 22 is rare. Your arm weight loss could be­ from anxiety causing muscle loss. See­ing a therapist is good, but talking to your doctor about your worries may help re­assure you. Take slow, dee­p breaths and try relaxation methods to e­ase anxiety.

I am having itching in my butthole i dont know why i am having it .

Male | 17

Itchiness in the anus can be annoying, and it can be because of many different factors. At times, it can happen because of not cleaning properly after using the toilet. Moreover, conditions such as piles, skin, agitations could be the culprits. Use mild, unscented wipes or a soothing cream to decrease the itching. In case there are no improvements, make a point to visit a healthcare provider.

I have been having discomfort in my right lower abdomen for 3 weeks. When it started, I woke up with abdominal pain and went to breakfast, but during it I could barely keep from throwing up. All that day I felt a little nauseous and my stomach hurt on sudden movements (also my stomach made noises). The next day the pain became more constant and intensified. I could not straighten up without pain in my lower abdomen. That day I went to the doctor with a suspicion of appendicitis. I was palpated, but was told that it was not clear exactly and told to come back the next day. The next day the pain was less, the doctor palpated me again and I had an ultrasound. The ultrasound showed that I had an enlarged kidney bowl and lymph nodes. I was admitted to the hospital but did not know which department (first they wanted to put me in urology but in the end they put me in the infectious diseases department for some reason). Also, the blood tests when I first came to the hospital had elevated white blood cells. I was discharged after 2 days and have been home for 3 weeks now (I have been on a diet and drinking 1.5 litres of water a day not counting tea) but the discomfort in my right lower abdomen sometimes returns
