What are they doing to treat your cervical kyphosis? They should be addressing the neurological symptoms you are having. I have cervical myelopathy c5c6 and it affected my head/neck (pain), arm:hand strength/dexterity, walking, balance and bladder frequency/urgency. It can permanently damage your spinal cord and nerves if not treated so important to address promptly. Change doctors if necessary (someone who specializes in the spine and central/peripheral nervous system (orthopedic spine doctor and neurologist). Your symptoms should be taken seriously.
For your gastrointestinal issues, I would recommend seeing a gastroenterologist and have endoscopy, colonoscopy, bloodwork and ultrasound to rule out issues not tied to your neurological issues. Neurological issues can affect gastrointestinal tract via the autonomic nervous system and be tied to your cervical kyphosis affecting your spinal cord/nerve roots.

Thank you so much for taking the time to give helpful comments. I didn't see your comments sooner because I didn't see any notification in my email that indicated that I received a comment.
Lately, I have been feeling that I need to give more focus on my cervical kyphosis. And my feeling is being strengthened after seeing your comment.
For the abdominal issues, I did colonoscopy and I was told that there is an active inflammation on my small intestine and chronic inflammation in my stomach. I have some follow up to do for this. I still don't know if my abdominal issues is separate from my head pain and sensations.

I had ACDF surgery which helped improve my walking and bladder control but it is critical to get treated quickly before any permanent damage. The surgery also helped to improve head/neck pain.
I had stomach/abdominal issues, too, and had endoscopy, colonoscopy, HIDA scan and ultrasound/bloodwork. They discovered gastritis and esophagitis plus biliary dyskinesia (gallbladder stopped working and may be tied to autonomic nervous system dysfunction). I will need to get my gallbladder out at some point in the future.
