What is wrong with me?

For the past 6 months I have been having different symptoms from burning pain beneath my breast and along my rib cage. Burning chest pain on and off. Hot sensation in legs that don't feel warm to touch. Stool with mucus and sometimes blood. And very lightheaded especially after meal. PVCs sometimes for a whole day.

Also popping sound in chest with deep inhalation

The popping is typical of acid reflux (GERD), go to your docs and see if you can get a PPI for a month or two. If it resolves your issues then it’s GERD. They should also test for H Pylori.

Blood in your stool is never a good sign. If it’s bright red then it could just be a fissure or a pile.

Best to tell the doctor.

Bright red blood with pus. Occult blood and yeast seen in stool test. Did colonoscopy and gastroscopy all good. Took PPI for a month and relieved a bit but stopped for a week n symptoms came back. Strange though gastroscopy is clear.

If it’s bright red then it’s hasn’t passed through your digestive system but rather comes from something further down so to speak.

You should go see your GP, it could be piles or a tear but could also be something that needs attention.

I had similar pains inder my ribs. Was put on omeprazole which didn't improve things. I am b12 deficient and after some googling and asking on here it turns out I had low stomach acid and omeprazole was making it worse. I immediately stopped taking it and looked at increasing my acid myself with sauerkraut, lime etc and it's loads better. I also have kefir milk to sort out digestion issues. I had undigested food in my stool and was going more regularly along with constipation.

I believe I need to run test for B12. I have been diagnosed by a lab several times for Ehistolytica but not by other labs who state it's White blood cells. I do have painful piles. I have been given four courses of metronidazole in the past 5 months.

And I keep getting heart trembling at rest. Just moving from sleeping on left to right and vice versa.
