In October of 2015, I developed pneumonia. After that, I developed a intermittent wheeze. Since then, I have had pneumonia two more times. I have a history of smoking, I am a 32 year old male, and I have no pain or discomfort. I only have wheezing (more of a rattling) that only occurs a few times a week, no shortness of breath, no pain or tightness in the chest, and white to yellow mucous that is produced when I do cough, which usually occurs only when I wheeze. Albuterol inhalers seem to work, but the doctors don’t seem tow know what is wrong. I have had pneumonia 3 times. I take Lunesta, Prazosin, Celexa, and Welbutrin.
I am 28yr old. We lost our only daughter 1 year ago, she was our only hope and purpose of living, and our life. She was only 5.11yr old. She had viral fever, after few medical tests, medicines and treatment it became normal and suddenly at night she passed away within few seconds. We couldn’t do anything. Since then we lost our hope and belief on every thing and everyone. Few months ago we expected the same baby but it got abortion with no reason. Then had surgery for cleaning and complete abortion. Since then we completely lost trust and hope on life. Since then I feel weak in my palm and feet, I feel swelling and difficult to close fist and pain. I feel difficulty in breathing, I can’t breathe like before. Sometimes at night I feel so hard to breathe like going to die. I have severe upper back pain, head ache. And memory loss. Sometimes can’t remember about the breakfast which I ate. Can’t do any work. Digestion problem. Lot of confusion. No trust on anyone. Sometimes I feel like slight shock in chest and can’t breathe or move for sometime, it’ll be painful. I feel my entire body weak. What do I do?
Hi, I am a female age 23. My name is (…), I am currently taking no medications but I do have a Nexplanon birth control implant in my left arm.
I have been feeling very ill lately, and it usually gets worse if I eat. I do feel hungry, but can only eat a few bites and then I feel sick. Recently its been getting worse, I’m hardly eating anything and when I do I feel nauseous but I also started feeling a burning pain in my lower back, shoulders, neck and even in my jaw. Its almost like a tightness, but its hot and hurts. It was really bad today to the point I almost passed out. The pain usually lasts 15-30min and then goes away and then I just feel nauseous.
i am currently having dull pains worse when swallowing but it’s lower down and not in my throat. It is not on my left aside. I was having some heart problems before for 4-5 years, but they come and go. Currently they have gone. I am even climbing to the 2nd and 3rd floor without a problem. When I have it -has been few months at a time- I feel too tired to walk much, and exertion makes me unwell. In those periods I have severe chest pains which come only from exertion, with details as attached. They are unbearable but only last 1-5 minutes.Once it improves I feel like all is well.
Currently I am not having them. I have attached 1 picture of my answers to the webmd website symptom checker, which is for the earlier problem , and 1 word file also from the webmd website symptom checker about my difficulty swallowing. I am a female, 58, around 62 Kg and 5’3″

59 yr male, had my first ever sinus infection, doc on vacation, nurse prescribed 10 days of Cefdinir on Aug 2nd 2016. Never had a drug reaction but had to stop this on day 5,nausea and diarrhea bad. Was then given Amoxicillin which I’ve taken for 30 years and fixed the sinus problem. As the effects warning says 2 months later Oct 15th comes back. Since then I’ve had nothing but bananas,rice,oatmeal,soup,water and powerade drink.Taken kefir,bottle of 50 billion colon care.Went to ER Dec 10th, blood work and stool sample for C-Diff, test was Negative.ER doc says 30 days of fiber and florostor will clear it up.4 Days later on Dec 14th Gastor calls, I tell the nurse I just had the c-diff test,she talks to gastro doc and tells me the only thing they can do is give me colonoscopy and if my colon is inflamed nothing they can do, will just make it worse, if not inflamed give me a prescription.Since Dec 10th have taken over 90 Florostor and am now taking Digestive Advantage with it, also taken a package of Culturelle. Since the effects of this drug came back Oct 15th I’ve lost almost 30 lbs, haven’t had anything to eat or drink for 3 months except as stated above.Got the flu 15 years ago, never a drug reaction, have a BM withing 30mins every morning for 40 years, never had constipation or diarrhea till this drug.How do I get this horrible drug out of me.When checking this drug Omnicef comes up, was the active ingredient and did the same then as now, Just have brown water, no stool. Others have stated after endless test which found nothing, their doctors told them to just keep taking probiotics and it would eventually go away. Any ideas how to stop this, can’t work, my life is being destroyed by an antibiotic, Thanks,(…)

I had a gallbladder removed Jan 12. Sent home. Keep getting sicker. Ended back in Hosp. Still here. Have a small tear leaking. They been giving me tons of antibiotics. They were gonna send me to a diff Hosp to fix it. But now cause my blood works better want to send me home. Can the bile leak heal on its own. My feeling is all the antibiotics have my blood levels good. I want the leak fixed. I’m sick and in pain. But can that leak heal itself
About 5 weeks ago my 40 lb son fell on my left foot. It hurt minimally and after a few days it was only slightly swollen on the place he landed and almost no bruising. The pain level was that of a deep bruise. After a few weeks I flew out of state for a family funeral. At night when I would take off my shoes, my foot had a deep ache, but I could still stand, walk and there was still little outward sign of damage. On the way home my foot began to hurt significantly and I started to get a small patch at the tip of my toe that felt tingly. It hurt to walk on the full part of my foot, but I could walk on my heel. At this point some light yellowish bruises had shown up along the inside of my left food, on the big toe on the bottom and along the front and back of the toes. The swelling increased. I had an x-ray done and it showed no broken bones. I could still walk on the heel but could not put weight on the entire foot. I decided to just try to stay off of it as much as possible and got some crutches. I elevated and iced and did some heat and soaking with epsom salts. Then I slipped three times slightly in one day and engaged the muscles on the foot abruptly. This didn’t cause immense pain but it swelled and the tingling spread. When the foot hangs down it looks dark in color, kind of a red-ish purple but it goes away sometimes and especially when elevated. The tingling goes away if I don’t move the foot but if I slip at all the yellow bruising returns and so does the tingling. I am assuming my next step is an MRI but my question is if there is any danger to trying a boot first? The MRI will not be covered by insurance and I am happy to continue to elevate and rest it if this is enough. It seems like every time it gets slightly better even the slightest movement is sending me backwards so I was thinking the boot would help. However, I don’t want to make the situation worse.
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension?
I have had IIH in 2014 been on meds, number of lumber punctures and surgery but have not been successful. Again same in 2015 and 2016. I get severe headaches, eye swelling, affects my left side more. I lose vision at times, total black out, weakness in legs and dizziness. Drs do not know what is causing this and why it comes, unsure of what is actually going on. These problems are continuous all day everyday for more then 8 weeks
I’m (…), age 61 (female). Recently I’ve under a lot of stress at work with a lot going on and challenges I don’t seem to be able to fix. However, health wise, I see a doctor regularly and take medications to control my stress and BP but seemingly only to a point. Lately I’ve started to worry.
….. about 8-9 months or so I’ve had trouble climbing my 16 step stairs at home and even just coming into work, walking up hill (slightly) from my car to my office, I am now really out of breath. So much so that I have to stop and rest, then move on. Numerous times I’ve even felt like I had a serious head ache with the breathlessness. I have never had this before I started taking my last medication for depression and I fear its getting worse.
Where do I go from here? Last cardio exam, I was just fine and passed every time I’ve had the exams/tests. Now I’m worried its possibly something wrong with my lungs or worse, the combination of meds perhaps making me even more ill. My immune system has never been good, but I’ve always had lots of energy. Nothing slowed me down. I’m not sure if its my heart, my lungs, or my meds. I’m 5’6″ tall, 215 lbs. Always active until this past year or so and I’m starting to feel my age and worried about just everything.
