My name is (—-) and I’m 22 years old. For the past few weeks I have been feeling strange. My heart is pounding like if it want to jump out of my chest. It lasts a few minutes and it stops. It happens a few times per day. On some days zero. I also feel dizzy sometimes. I also have been stressed lately and having sleeping problems. I sleep bad. 4 or 5 hours per day. Normally I sleep about about 9. Do I have a heart problem? Is this a heart attack?

About a week ago, I hit my head. No signs of concussion, only a slight bruise that was tender to touch. This afternoon, while washing my face, when I went over that spot I experienced a pulling and tingling sensation directly back to the top of my scalp. This is the first day and it’s happened any time I apply slight pressure to that spot. (ie: applying makeup) I had an aneurysm about 7 years ago and they glued the affected vessel with no further issues beyond minor numbness, in a couple of spots, on the left side. Is this something I should be concerned about or will it go away when the bruise is gone?

I heard that Tylenol (Acetaminophen) is better for headaches and Aleve is better to reduce inflammation. Is it safe to take both Acetaminophen Tylenol and Naproxen Aleve at the same time? What about taking Aleve and Advil at the same time?
Im in lyme remission after 2o yrs of Lyme. Several yrs ago I had to have a hysterectomy bc of the damage from the Lyme. Two months ago I’ve started having acne breakouts that are around my jawline. Also for the past week I have the sensation of someone pulling my hair out. Could these maybe be menopause or something more serious?

Hi doctor I am 5 weeks 4 days pregnant. Please let me know if I need to increase thyroid dosage I am currently taking 50. Also the hcg levels look elevated to me is there a possibility of twins. Or does that indicate a singleton pregnancy? I am just wondering if it is multiples as it looks high to me but maybe it’s normal for a single.

I have a black toenail. It just appeared a while ago I didn’t bang it or anything and it doesn’t hurt. I just noticed the black area seems to have spread a bit along the bottom of my nail. I obviously didn’t want to waste a doctors time as it not sore. Was wondering what could cause it and if anything i could do or buy to sort it out. I have included a photo of it.

For the previous 2 days I’ve had a small pimple on my scrotum. It doesn’t hurt, leak fluid, or itch. I’ve had a past of ingrown hairs and I only wanted to confirm or a doctor to confirm this was another ingrown hair and nothing more serious. I’d appreciate any type of feedback.

when it comes to mouth cold sores, is it the same virus that causes sores inside the mouth (cheeks gums tongue etc) as the one that causes on the outside of the mouth (lips edge)? Why do some people present with exterior sores vs interior sores, and if you already experience interior sores but not exterior, are you likely to experience exterior lip sores if you are in contact/saliva exchange with someone who is symptomatic with exterior lip sores?
Thanks!

I had lab work done to test for iron, and it showed high total iron and % saturation. Should I see a doctor for this, or donate some blood, or not worry about it? (I uploaded the lab results.) I don’t have any medical problems other than infrequent migraines.

In the last year I have slowly lost my taste and smell. I can taste extreme tastes like sugar and salt. This started in Dec ,’16 after a bad cold and has gotten worse since then. My teeth have gotten really bad in the last few years and I am going in for dentures. I am 76. Maybe you could tell me what has caused this……(—)

i had a steroid injection at 2pm (it is now 12 hrs later) for a triggerfinger of my 3rd finger of my right hand. The finger is even more contracted and somewhat numb. the injection was painful and the site in the palm is slightly bruised. Is this normal? when will the “contraction” begin to improve?

Around the week of October 20th I took plan b (emergency contraception) 2 times. A couple days after the second time (maybe around 10/26) I got a short period, I have not had a period since, can this contraception mess my cycle up that much? Up until then i had a normal cycle, of course I have been stressing worrying about it but I have taken many pregnancy tests up until yesterday and all are negative. I just can’t believe it’s been two months with no period this hasn’t happened before after taking it.
