Difficulty swallowing after stress: Causes and solutions
I have difficulty in eating and drinking cuz whenever i eat, after a few bites I have difficulty in swallowing food like I feel tightness in chest and shortness of breath like I take deep breaths while eating and I fear while swallowing food as if it might block my trachea or I would choke. Last year, I gave my exams and during my exams I took too much stress and didnt eat anything (eating very little whole day or even just bites of food due to exam stress). After that, I encountered somehow same issue as I developed nausea which interfered with swallowing so I feared swallowing. This time, when I gave my exams, I am encountering the situation I told you. What can be this thing and what measures should I take?

You might have Globus pharyngeus, a condition stress or anxiety triggers. It makes swallowing hard, tightens chests, causes shortness of breath, and scares you while eating. Eat slowly in calm places, and breathe deeply. Relax through deep breathing exercises or meditation helps. Drinking lots of water with meals aids swallowing. Consult a gastroenterologist if issues continue.

Respected sir, my mother name ABALA ,age- 70,is suffered abdomen pain, what can i do sir?
Female | 70
Abdominal pain can be diverse, with causes such as indigestion, constipation, or stomach viruses. It's important to watch if the pain is strong, if there is vomiting, or if she has a fever. Urge her to drink water, have a rest, and stay away from heavy meals. If the pain doesn't go away or worsens, visit a gastroenterologist.

I ' m 21 years old & I get a medicine ( Aciclovir dispersible tablet ) approx 1 week ...& I think due to this there are problem is arise . The problem is ....there was pain in stomach & weakness is also arise ....
Female | 21
You've got an upset stomach from that Aciclovir dispersible tablet you took. Tummy aches and weakness can happen with that medicine. It might be irritating your belly. Try eating before taking it to avoid this issue. Drinking lots of water can also help soothe things. But, if the problem persists, definitely let your doctor know about it.

I have recently noticed that my bowel movements have shown a flat side. No bleeding. I have had these hemorrhoids for at least 6 months. Some days they're almost nonexistent. Some days they pop out of the anus and feel annoying, but they hardly ever hurt in any way. It is hard to tell, but there are some days where the stool looks completely normal. No flat side that I can see. I had a colonoscopy (at 39 yrs old) 2+ years ago. A polyp was removed and 3 hemorrhoids were banded. I am very healthy. I am 2 years sober, high protein diet, strength training, active job, don't smoke, and do everything with health in mind. I take sertraline for anxiety and a few supplements. I am scheduled to see my Dr in a month. My anxiety always makes me think it's the worst! Google searches tell me that hemorrhoids won't likely change the stool shape. I am in need of answers please!
Male | 41
This can result from dietary changes or minor intestinal troubles. Hemorrhoids rarely cause flat stools. As a recent colonoscopy was done, serious worries are unlikely. Maintaining healthy habits is wise. It's advisable to inform a doctor about this during the upcoming appointment for accurate guidance.

A week ago I had some foul tasting food, I've had bleeding since then like a very heavy period , and now my resting heart rate is down 10-20bpm roughly from last week.
Female | 30
It is possible the bleeding you are experiencing is the result of problems with the digestive system, including the eating of spoilt or contaminated food. It is necessary to go to a gastroenterologist immediately to find out the causes and symptoms of the bleeding.

Dehiscence stomach wound almost closed but bleeding a little is that ok, wearing eakin wound pouch
Female | 52
The stomach wound seems unhealed, and some bleeding persists. The reason is that the wound hasn't fully closed. It's good that you are using a wound pouch. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and apply gentle pressure to stop the bleeding. If the bleeding continues, contact your gastroenterologist.

Female 50 years old Ogun state Sango Ota Yesterday I was having continous stomach pain accompany with back pain Today I'm no longer feeling the back pain but I'm still having stomachs Pain and anytime I go to the toilet to urinate I pass some fluids from my anus like a watery faeces. The fluid is hot.And I'm coughs a little bit Doctor please what is wrong with me?
Female | 50
You may have a tummy bug, or gastroenteritis, which makes you feel sick. It can cause a tummy ache, a thin watery bowel movement, and even a cough sometimes. The hot liquid coming from your anus is most probably diarrhea. This can happen when your stomach and intestines get irritability, usually, because of viral infections like norovirus. Staying hydrated with water or oral rehydration solutions and getting enough rest are vital. Eating light foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast might settle your stomach. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's best to consult a gastroenterologist.

Hi.Almost 17 days ago I drink my syrup when I drink one spoon I notice that there was some broken glass pieces,very tiny like sugar.i don't know o swallow some or not but I am really worried now what should I have to do now ?
Female | 25
Swallowing broken glass pieces is scary. Small amounts might pass without causing harm, but they could still scratch your throat or stomach. If you're feeling fine, eating soft foods and drinking plenty of water may help it pass safely. However, if you experience pain, vomiting, bleeding, or difficulty swallowing, seek medical care immediately.

You might be experiencing a condition related to your liver or gallbladder. I recommend visiting a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation. They can provide a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. In the meantime, avoid heavy meals and monitor any other symptoms.

Female | 16
Bulimia Nervosa may be the problem you are facing. Frequently vomiting may be the reason behind this. It can result in a stomach ache, throat irritation, and even tooth decay. Your body requires food to maintain good health. A physician can treat you by giving therapy and suggesting a proper diet.

I have got hemorrhoids this id out side from backbum not in side
Male | 26
You might have external hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are blood vessels downright back near your passage that can be sore and itchy. They can be caused by the straining of bowel movements, obesity, or pregnancy. The application of warm baths, over-the-counter creams, and fiber-rich foods are some of the ways to help with the symptoms. It's important to check with a gastroenterologist if the problem persists.

I am Mrs Gomes 55 years old lady suffering from upper abdomen pain from last few months and special after the meal and feeling floating
Female | 55
Indigestion occurs when the stomach struggles to break down food. This can cause discomfort, making it feel like air or gas is trapped in the belly. To help alleviate this, try eating smaller meals, avoid spicy and fatty foods, and stay upright after eating. Drinking ginger tea or taking over-the-counter antacids may also provide relief. If the pain persists, consult a gastroenterologist for further examination.

Lower left side abdomen pain and upper back pain n mild head turn and constipation pain
Female | 25
Your symptoms – pain near your tummy button, back discomfort, mild head ache, and feeling blocked up – could stem from gas buildup or constipation. Gulping water frequently, munching fiber-filled fare, and taking gentle strolls may be relieved. However, if troubles persist, consulting a gastroenterologist becomes important.

Female | 34
I warn against alcohol or acetaminophen (Tylenol) co-ingestion due to the possibility of liver injury. It is advised to allow yourself at least 24-hour interval after drinking before taking acetaminophen. If you are experiencing any symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting, you need to contact a gastroenterologist.
