Context: 26, white female. I have PCOS, take the bc pill as well as lexapro.

For the past year I have been struggling with breast pain in a specific spot. It is sort of a sore or tight muscle feeling, occasionally burning. If I was looking down at myself, I would say it’s in the top right side of my left breast, over my heart, kind of where the breast tissue meets my ribs/sternum. It’s pretty constant and does seem to get worse if I have a period. I have been to the gynecologist as well as my primary and gotten at least 5 breast exams. Twice my gyno felt a small moveable lump, but she is the only doctor out of three to have felt this. I have now gotten two breast ultrasounds as well as a lymph node ultrasound, and all have been clear. No cysts or fibroids spotted either. Basically I am losing my mind and am looking for NON CANCER things it could be. Believe me, I am well aware of all the ways it could be that. I can’t get a breast MRI without a doctor’s orders, and since my ultrasounds have been clear, that’s unlikely to happen. One doctor suggested wearing more supportive bras, and that seems to help but only a bit. What could be causing this pain in one spot otherwise??

Male, 20 years old. I measured my blood pressure and realized that I am hypertensive (>140/90). ECG is normal, and the echocardiogram reveals that I have a left ventricular ejection fraction of 47%.
I am microcytic.

What could this depend on? Should I be worried? What tests would you recommend?
I am a very athletic person (triathlon), I don’t eat much salt, I don’t smoke, I don’t drink alcohol or coffee.

Thank you in advance.

Hi all,

23F, Asian, and 5'2. No existing medical issues, no current medications aside from antibiotics.

I'm looking for some advice or insight into what might be happening. Over the past three months, I've been dealing with a recurring cycle of infections. It started with a yeast infection, followed by a UTI, and then bacterial vaginosis (BV). Each one was treated individually and didn't overlap with the others. But after the BV, I ended up with another yeast infection, and now I’ve got another UTI, just completed antibiotics and still have mild symptoms.

My symptoms don’t feel like the usual UTIs I’ve had before. There’s a small burning sensation, but it only happens toward the end of urination, not throughout, and I don’t have the typical urgency or frequency to urinate. I also don’t have a fever. On top of that, I’ve been feeling some nausea, and I noticed a slight tinge of blood in my urine.

Has anyone experienced anything similar, or have any idea what could be going on? I’d appreciate any thoughts or advice, as this cycle of infections and constant antibiotics is starting to feel endless. Thanks so much in advance!

14f, 5’7, 172lbs and I accidentally took 6 paracetamol (500mg each) and 2-3 ibuprofen (200mg each). I’m pretty built on muscle though far too in case that’s relevant. Two hours later I got really sharp pain on the bottom on my stomach, but only when I breathed in. Am I likely to be okay or should I see a doctor? Thank you!

The ventricular system, midline structures, and basal cisterns are normal. No significant changes in the cortical/subcortical regions. Mild deviation of the nasal septum to the right. Enlarged middle turbinate (concha bullosa) on the right. Arterial TOF (Time of Flight) sequences:

No significant flow, course, or caliber abnormalities in the vessels of the Circle of Willis or the vertebrobasilar system. Conclusion Findings: A few nonspecific demyelinating lesions in the bilateral frontal white matter.

I also want to add that I am M21 and weight around 83 kgs.

I would also like to add that my symptoms are: Stuttering , saying a word twice, forgetting words, having trouble creating sentences in my mind to speak them, reading comprehension problems, trouble focusing and concentrating on conversations, detachment from the world, constant headaches and face pain and a derealization like feeling.

Any opinion would be appreciated!

hey gang, 15F here. I’ve been experiencing pain in my right breast for the past 2-3 days. No point in dodging the issue, the area is slightly inflamed and when prodded there seems to be a hard lump that isn’t present in the other ?? Google says it could just be benign but it’s still worrying because theres also links to a cyst. Thoughts maybe ?? Too embarrassed to ask/tell my mom abt it.

I would love to post this anonymously but alas not available to me, sadly. Heres to hoping nobody is stalking my page.

Yesterday I got a burn on my ring finger. It naturally relieved this morning and since this afternoon my fingers and palm of hand have been cramping and been in such pain. Is this sympathetic pain?

It started out as a cut and it also hurts when barly any pressure is on it and I've cleaned it and put a bandaid over it it looks infected what should I do?

Do I need stitches? I did this at 11 ish. please help

my throat the last few weeks looks more narrow than it usually does and i’m having trouble sleeping on a night because of it. it also feels really dry specifally on a night no matter how much water i drink. only happens in my own room not when i sleep somewhere else. f22 non smoker decently healthy

A few weeks ago my daughter was ill with just a fever that lasted about five days (high grade for two days), no other cold/flu like symptoms. She developed these small red bumps on her face, neck, and head while she had the fever and they are getting bigger/swollen and not going away (three weeks later)…any ideas? I’ve made a dr appt but thought I’d ask here while we wait. Her skin on her hands and feet also peeled after the fever broke and she has a pretty bad rash on her groin area…developed after the fever broke and is not going away with frequent diaper changes, airing out, diaper rash cream, Vaseline…even tried canestan. I did take her to emerg when her fever reached 103.9 and wouldn’t go down much with Tylenol or ibuprofen and unfortunately we didn’t really have get any answers as to what she was sick with…Kawasaki disease was brought up within the first minute of her being looked over but he spoke with the pediatrician on the phone and retracted his statement. No tests were done…these symptoms/conditions she developed while sick just all seem very strange and I’m just worried that maybe something was overlooked. It’s making me feel crazy lol.

Any ideas what could be causing these bumps? Are all these symptoms correlated or was it coincidence they all developed at the same time she was sick?

My spine broke recently. I was just walking when I felt a terrible pain in my lower back and abdomen. I laid down on the ground and tried to stay still for maybe fifteen minutes, when I started to feel a painful tapping in my back. I moved, and I experienced a terrible spasm of pain mixed with a little bit of relief. This happened maybe ten times, and then I couldn't move at all without terrible pain. When I got to the hospital, they said my lumbar spine was shattered. What happened?

Hai, I am 28/M 2 days back I got the lump on my upper chest below the collor bone suddenly I am Having issues with Gastric problem, From then I am seeing each and every things in my body, I became very anxious, then I googled about it, and there is many people having same, even my girlfriend also had it And some times I am feeling like something is stopped while I am swallowing While drink water also I feel like I am drink water with Air Can anyone help me out what is this

it’s my first time experiencing this, my vaginal discharge clumps like wet tissue bits when i rub it with my fingers 😭 it doesn’t itch, smell or whatever everything is normal but my discharge is bothering me big timeee!!! should i be worried?

Im keeping this short cause i wouldn’t get help if this is a long post. I pass out alot, i get panic attacks daily, i vomit and get nauseaous alot even right now. My head feels like a rollercoaster and i need to vomit from the visuals, closing my eyes help. My intestines are fucked, i didnt shit a whole week this vacation and was in pain but still couldnt shit, and at other times i have a super intense urge to go to the toilet that i actually cant hold in. If i do hold it in i dont shit for a week and get the pain so idfk whats going on when that happens. I dont sleep, or i sleep for 16 hour, and i dont even get tired when pulling all nighters. I also have muscle spasms alot, but i think i have a (probably) heavily important piece of info about this whole ordeal. There are 2 substances that make all these symptoms worse, one is caffeine. At some point this summer i didnt stop shaking and couldnt talk and was rushed to the hospital, the whole thing lasted for 7 hours but somehow didnt get tested for anything because it was most likely a panic attack. And my body reacts superrr badly to kratom, i used recreationally and for the pain but even with a dose as low as 1g, i started to vomit and instantly get tired. I can connect these symptoms because all these symptoms happen/occured/get worse at the same time. Its seriously affecting my day to day life ive called sick so many times im not doing good at work or school, esp the fatigue is heavy so thats why i think i might have diabetes but it could be anything. Should i go to the doctor?!!! This happens every single day since April.

I am a 17 year old female, no pre existing health issues. I am experiencing some sort of "sleep drunk night terrors" per se, and i'm scared. I have extremely bad unmedicated health anxiety, and when i go to sleep (most nights) i will wake up after 10 minutes confused and very anxious, and fall back asleep. A few min later, i will wake up and the cycle can repeat for about an hour each might it happens. I used to somewhat get this as a kid but not as extreme. I am very anxious and scared someone please help. I don't know how i am going to get through the rest of school when this consumes me. I'm scared

Someone in my family put floor cleaner in a soap dispenser and I washed my hands with it.

I breathed it in and my hands still smell after washing them with hand soap multiple times.

Will my lungs be okay? I don't hurt and I'm not dizzy. I did cough a lot because of the intense amell though.

I have 2 hangnails too. Idk if they're open wounds on whatever.

Is my skin going to be okay? It doesn't hurt? And is it okay for me to eat or touch my face? Are the chemicals still on?

I have a sinus infection and have been taking Sudafed 12 hour 120 mg, i've taken it for 11 days but have stopped as of now. I feel fine as of now, minus the sinus infection since it's still there. No nausea, headache or any worrying side effect as of now, but should I still be worried?

I’m 21 I don’t smoke Cigarettes I don’t drink on occasion and smoke weed sometimes as well is something wrong with me

Over a week ago I noticed a small pea sized bump under the skin of my penis shaft (right side). If I move the skin around, the bump stays where it is. It feels hard/firm, and there's no marks on the skin anywhere. Doesn't hurt at all.

Anyone experience this? I'm giving it a week or two to see if anything changes. So far it's remained the same.

Not sure what could've caused it. I was a little lazy after a late workout session last Monday and didn't shower after...not sure if the sweat/moisture could've caused it? Haven't been sexually active outside of my spouse.

If anyone has any idea of what this is, I'd appreciate it!

So idk how this happened because I never experienced it before. I had unprotected contact with my boyfriend, but he never put it in, on October 18 and my period was arriving around October 25, but instead it arrived three days earlier on October 22. My normal period is usually 5 days with heavy flow, but idk if it was my period or spotting. It lasted 3 days and had bits of clots, and the color was light red to dark red, with little flow. Now during ovulation, the beginning it was sticky clear and white and I found out yesterday that my discharge is dark brown. This has never happened before and I'm worried. Please help!

I am 21 F on day 5 of a 10 day round of antibiotics. I ate pizza last night and took my antibiotic and felt as though the pill may have been stuck in my throat. This happens often so I think nothing of it and drink water and go to sleep at 10 pm.

It is now 4 pm and I still have this feeling of something in my throat that now feels more like heartburn. I took tums earlier, to no avail. When I swallow food, there is a sharp pain in the center of my chest, behind the breastbone that feels almost like a tear or rip in my esophagus.

Is this cause for concern or just bad heartburn? Will be calling doctor tomorrow when they open but it hurts at about a level 3 when I swallow solids, big or small. Hurts a bit but not much with liquids.
