Stomach issue
I am having stomach heaviness every time it seems fullness of stomach without even eating some thing
Inconsistent stool
The first part of my stool comes out on its own without much straining and is of normal thickness. However, after sitting for a while and applying slight pressure, the remaining stool that comes out is noticeably thinner. There is no bleeding and I do not have any significant pain or discomfort. However, when I strain more during bowel movements, a small reddish fleshy tissue protrudes slightly from the anus. It goes back inside automatically when I stop straining. I am taking 1 tsp isabgol husk 2 or 3 times in a week. A few weeks ago I visited a surgeon and the DRE was normal (within limits).

Anxiety and bp issue age 23
Hello Doctor, I am 23 years old. I am reaching out to consult regarding my recent blood pressure readings. For the past 1 to 1.5 months, I have been going through high stress and health anxiety. When I measure my BP at home using a digital monitor, readings come around 140/95 to 145/90 mmHg. However, a year ago, my BP was normal at 120/80 mmHg with a mercury machine, and all my ECG and echo tests were completely normal at that time. Could these high readings be temporary spikes due to stress and anxiety? Do I need medication immediately, or can this be managed first with lifestyle changes? Please guide me on next steps. Thank you
