Lately i didn't take any medication or checking body(diabetes). (Due I'm scared to go alone/short of money) I have so many itchy body and today i see my nail showing white color than pink color. Does nail changing showing health on critical condition?

Most nights when I try to sleep, I feel such a heavy pressure on my chest and throat which makes it hard to breathe and it gives me even more anxiety. I have a long and extensive background of mental illness so I’m almost curious as to if the reasoning behind all this is stress and anxiety.

It’s better when I sit up, and back to normal when I stand, but like I said it’s only some nights. Not every night do I experience this. Sometimes it blind sides me and other times I don’t have to deal with it at night. This is only a nightly thing as well. I can lay down during the day and I’m fine.

I’m just worried because it makes me super dizzy and lightheaded and is creating a lack of proper sleep as I’ll finally be able to fall asleep and then the shortness of breath kicks in and I can’t breathe which wakes me up throughout the night.

What should I do?

Not just physically, but also mentally. For everyone, not just the person who has it. What is it like? Be descriptive.

Hello, 23 y/o M, Woke up having a mild sharp pain in my RLQ next to my belly button, I feel this sharp pain when I walk and every slightly when sitting down. Currently if I press into it, the pain gets worse from maybe a 3/10 to a 7/10. I can still move and walk, do not feel nauseous at all.

I've made this list to make my doctor write up blood tests for me is there anything else i should ask for?
And regarding the thyroid gland blood tests and hormones test is there a specific test that i should ask for?

1. Complete blood test[CBC] including vitamin D + magnesium + iron + glucose + cortisol + zinc + copper + blood chemistry test [BMP] + DHEA + B12 + blood ferritin test + ESR test+lipid panel test

2. Complete blood test for the thyroid gland

3. Full blood hormone test + testosterone + TSH + Free T3 + Free T4

=============

I had my lips twitching from times to times last month, both upper and lower lips, it depends. Last week I woke up with my jaw trembling, although with my conscious I could make it stop. Later on this week, I had them on the evening, and today I had them during the day. I can manage to stop them every time though. Is this normal, or is it concerning? In addition, I do teeth grinding when I sleep since when I was little. Now I’m in my early thirties.

I have lost my walking and using a walker due to gait. What are ways I can heal?! I’m doing anything I can! Thank you!

I have a large white pimple(?) on my pubic area and I’m scared to mess with it. Does anyone know what it is?

i maintain a fairly healthy diet, exercise a lot. once a week or so i like to treat myself.

i usually get a fresh baked muffin or doughnut from the bakery in the grocery store, or sometimes i’ll get little debbie’s oatmeal creme pies.

is there a significant difference between a fresh baked doughnut/muffin/cinnamon roll and a boxed/packaged cake/cookie snack? i know neither is a healthy option, but relatively speaking. i assume the latter has some more preservatives, does anyone know what those are or how they affect your health?

My right eye seems to have gotten more myopic following an accident and laser treatment. Is this normal?

I had an accident two weeks ago where I hit my head & right eye area hard. I immediately got it checked with an optometrist because blood vessels in my eye broke, and it turned out that I didn't have any issues with my cornea.

But a few days later I started noticing small flashes in the corner of my right eye and visited the doctor again around 5 days ago. She saw a small dent in my retina and I got laser treatment on it right away. She didn't seem all too worried about the situation (given the size of the dent) and told me to come back in a few months to see how my retina healed.

It's been a few days since the treatment now, but I think my right eye's vision has worsened a bit. I've been noticing it slowly worsening over the years prior to the accident, but I'm guessing the injury and the laser might have accelerated the process. I have no problem seeing objects close to me. The white flashes decreased noticeably in frequency, and I don't have any new floaters or other issues.

I'm wondering if I should be worried with my current situation. Is it too soon to determine anything about my eye? Is the problem with my vision something temporary? If not what steps should I be taking?

I've never had issues with my eyes before the accident. I'd also like to add that I haven't gotten much sleep / rest recently. I just moved to a new country and have been going through a lot of stress during the process.

I live in Washington State which has extremely strong protections for trans health and all aspects of trans healthcare is covered by Washington Medicaid (as in, Washington has specifically stated in law that Medicaid will provide access to trans healthcare). However, Trump has promised to remove any doctor that provides any trans healthcare from Medicaid. Does this mean that doctors in Washington State will be forced to cease giving trans healthcare or else be completely booted off Medicaid or will my doctor still be able to provide me trans healthcare under Medicaid due to Washington law?

If I don't get enough sleep regularly, neither really tired but nor rested, how will this impact me later in life?

If im really unhealthy as a teenager, not OVERLY unhealthy but definitely not healthy, how much of this would affect my life later on?

I've been starting to have trouble walking the recent months, no known cause for that. I can still walk it's just more difficult and makes my legs feel really tense? if that makes sense I dont want to get a cane or anything because I dont want unnecessary attention or people to ask questions (i live in a very close community of people.. unfortunately) and im wondering is there anything i can do to lessen the tension?

• Working out regularly hasn't helped

Capsules are the absolute bane of my existence. I can't swallow them. I don't know why but I just can't. I've tried all the different tips and tricks in regards to swallowing capsules but I suck. So I'm wondering, now that I have amoxicillin for the next couple of days.

Can I put the capsules in food? Like when I've taken a bite of a sandwich I can just add it in. I just don't want to do that if it's going to cause problems. So I'm here to check.

Hello all, i am a 22 year old FTM (i dont know what information matters so im giving it all). Ive always had problems with pain and breathing ever since i was young. Recently i started trying to get some tests done to find out if i have any autoimmune issues. Im a ginger, i had psoriasis growing up, i was diagnosed with asthma pretty young, diagnosed with autism, and have always had some kind of pain like stated before. As of right now all they have told me is i have psoriatic arthritis but i just dont feel like they are right. Im on my second medication to help with anti-inflammatory for my joints but i dont really feel likes its my joints that are hurting all the time if that makes any sense? It feels like my tendons more? My "asthma" has also been worse the past couple of years so my primary doctor recommend i have a Pulmonary Function test done since when i complain about having a hard time breathing the docs listen and just say i sound fine. That came back that i breathe completely normal. No asthma at all. Im just tired of always not knowing whats wrong with me? Unless my mind is playing the biggest trick on me known to man and im just delusional, which its starting to feel like, id really like some help from others to maybe lead me in a better direction to see what could be going on? Ive always joked im not making it past 50 because my family has a lot of bad health history but i do want to if i can and i feel like finding out my issues now, if any, would really help me. Not only mentally but obviously physically as well. I dont know im starting to feel hopeless so any help or advice is so extremely appreciated. Thank you in advance anyone who responds. I can answer any questions too if theres something i left out that may help "diagnose". Again thank you.

Am I the only one experiencing this?

Kaiser and Anthem insurance dispute

hi I have two insurances - one from Kaiser as a dependant from my partner, and another from Anthem from my own company. I've only intended to use Kaiser as my insurance provider, and use Anthem for potential benefit of HSA. It worked well until last week I got a bill from Anthem that says I owe them $100 for a flu shot I took from Kaiser. I have never told Kaiser I have Anthem nor showed them my Anthem membership documentation. I used my Kaiser membership card for checking in to take the flu shot. Im filing disputes with both Kaiser and Anthem now, to request them (i) correct the claim so that Kaiser can fully cover it; and (ii) Kaiser shall not use Anthem insurance unless there is explicit consumer authorization from me.

It doesn't make any sense. Has anyone ecountered a situation like this, that Kaiswer would just bill their services to an insurance that you didn't even disclose to them?

I, 20/F , am in college. It is my second year, of course I will get “frisky”.

I have only kissed two people, one was over four months ago and the other one was around 4 weeks ago. Both of them claim to never have mono— you never know.

I have had two swollen lymph nodes in my groin for over two weeks and I’m not sure if it’s related to my current mono — given my symptoms are more apparent.

First day of symptoms: I actually flew out of town for a funeral, but the second day (Friday) I noticed a huge lymph node on my neck, it stuck out like a sore thumb but I didn’t think anything of it.

Saturday: I noticed red spots on the roof of my mouth, and small white patches started to form. I took Tylenol and thugged out the day with no other issues.

Sunday: I started to notice pain swallowing, but nothing Tylenol couldn’t fix. The patches were more apparent and I was slightly fatigued — especially at night.

Monday (today): I went to urgent care because the pain because increasingly worse. I currently have a migraine but still no fever (haven’t had one). My appetite is fine. My lymph nodes in my neck and groin are HUGE. I definitely feel really tired now, but I got waaaaay too much work to quit (fml as a student)

please, tell me you’re experiences with this! I’m not sure if I got it from kissing, sharing drinks or just being in a college environment

In my understanding antibiotics were always to fight bacterial infections and antimycotics were used to fight fungal ones. What am I missing (except that both are forms of life and all medicine to fight any form of life can be referred to as antibiotic)?

If there were an app where you could chat about health concerns (like a headache) and instantly get advice on remedies, nearby hospitals, and even tips on exercises and diet for better health, would you find that helpful? What would you want it to focus on most?

So, I am a germaphobe and REALLY want to be sure. This has been going on for a few days now. I have this feeling like the feeling you get when there's water in your ear, sounds are a bit muffled, and a can hear a thumping noise in sync with my heartbeat (might just be my heartbeat itself). I have tried cleaning my ears and did infact have earwax, and got all of it out, yet this is still occuring.

Ive been feeling extremely nauseous and having this feeling of lightheadedness. Apart from that im very dizzy, have 0 appetite (I literally feel like vomiting the second i think of food) i cant even drink water as i am hating its taste. Ive suddenly become very sensitive to scent (any kind good or bad just irritates me alot) Apart from that i have like these palpitations in my heart. I am on antidepressants already i take zoloftanf beta blockers. I went to my GP and he said its just stress, but honestly im not even stressed life’s going pretty smooth. How do i get rid of these symptoms they’re annoying as hell Pls help me out if u are facing something similar

For 5 years now I've been dealing with esopagus type chest pain. And for the longest time I've been visiting doctors and trying to cure it "as gerd". None of it worked.

Last night I had a different idea though. What if I don't have gerd at all,- and the pain is caused by something else!

The pain I am experiencing is constant but It gets worse when being irritated. Like for example by a tomato cream.

I think this pain started in 2019 when I used Apple Cidee Vinegar for "health purposes".

Anything can help! Thank you!

I’m just wondering how long you would think this would take to heal after surgery I’m 22

Chronic high-grade near full-thickness rupture of the ACL with associated marked anterior tibial translation. 2. Partial tearing of the meniscocapsular ligament of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus. 3. Chronic sprain of the proximal MCL. 4. Mild tendinopathies identified in the distal quadriceps tendon and the IT band. 5. Large amount of joint effusion.

Throughout my life I’ve struggled with multiple low level health issues, that won’t kill me, but degrade my quality of life:

• Binge eating disorder (now under control).
• Teeth that get cavities easily.
• Terrible IBS (as well as lactose intolerance).
• Catch colds/flus easily.
• Intermittent depression/anxiety/codependency.
• ADHD (and struggled to treat it).
• Macular degeneration (with eventual blindness).
• Frequent body aches, nausea, headaches, fatigue.

I sorta feel that I haven’t won the health lottery, and it’s becoming irritating how much effort and time I spend just trying to deal with health issues.

I want to know if most people are struggling with a slew of annoying small health issues too?

• Very active in weightlifting

Tests for my heart? Blood tests?

I've been dealing with continuous heart palpitations for the past two weeks. Yesterday, I finally went to the hospital to get checked out. They took my blood pressure, did an EKG, and ran blood and urine tests. Thankfully, my blood pressure and EKG results came back normal. However, the doctor noticed my resting heart rate was unusually high at around 97 bpm.

I asked if dehydration could be a factor, and he said it was possible. To investigate, he compared my heart rate when I was lying down versus standing up. Laying down, it dropped to the low 80s, which he said pointed to dehydration as a potential cause.

My blood test results were all fine, but they did find an infection in my urine, which was also super dark. So, he prescribed antibiotics for a week (two doses a day) and advised me to drink plenty of fluids. He mentioned that if the palpitations persist, I should come back.

It’s been a day since I started the antibiotics, and despite drinking lots of water, I’m still experiencing palpitations. Should I wait a few more days to see if things improve, or should I go back sooner? Would love to hear from anyone who’s dealt with something similar.
