Hi! I am a 20 year old female. Lately I have been experiencing very shallow breathing. Additionally, my face starts to shiver, my eyes twitch uncontrollably, my hands tremor, my legs feel numb, my lip pulls to a certain side and I have difficulty speaking. I have been feeling very dizzy lately and I also experience extreme vertigo sometimes.
I have been to a doctor during last week. She just took one look at me and said that I am stressed out, which makes no sense at all! I am not stressed, panicked, nervous or anxious whatsoever. I am a very chilled and relaxed person, plus, I am currently on holiday. So I literally have nothing to stress or worry about.

My husband has been sick for a week or so and his dr put him on an antibiotic an inhaler and some cough syrup with codeine. Today at work he was sitting at his desk and broke out in a cold sweat and felt nauseated and dizzy.

I am a 44-year-old man not on any medications. I have had 2 spinal surgeries about 10 yrs ago but in otherwise generally good heath. I was working outside a week ago and suddenly passed out and when i woke up I started to throw up black after throwing up twice I passed back out. When i woke up again I realized I had hit my head and had a good size abrasion on my right temple. Ever sense this happened I have total numbness of my right thumb. Numbness to the point of painful. I have never passed out before or had numbness like this. Wondering what could be the cause of passing out the black vomit and now total numbness.

Hello.
My 5 month old baby doesn’t reach His milestones, he seem to have pour eye contact, he haș social smile and laughs but occasionally. I am suspecting him of autism or mental retardation. My question may surprise you: Could he be mentally retarded although he shows signs of intelligence like when I ask him where are the butterflies in His room he turns to look at them? And he does that since he was 4 months old and with some other objects too.
I am 25 years old, female from Philippines. Since birth, I don’t recall having sense of smell in anything except menthol oil and cream like Katinko and ammonia. Never been diagnose and have no physical problem nor internally in my nose. Do you know what is my problem?
When I was a child, I was diagnose of esophageal varices and undergo of reverse splenorenal shunt operation and rectal biopsy. I am anemic and only medication I take is ferrous sulphate.
My problem can be easily described. I suffer from a continuous reduction of hemoglobin. Every day I have to take iron supplement to retain my hemoglobin levels in normal range.
I give you an example of my condition. Let’s say I take an iron supplement for a year, the blood analysis confirms hemoglobin level at 146 g / l. Subsequently I cease to take an iron supplement. Two months later hemoglobin level falls to 97 g / l. I could give you several similar examples during previous 6 years.
Then I always start to take iron supplement again and my hemoglobin levels come back to the normal. If I take iron every day, hemoglobin levels remain within normal limits. Basically, I must constantly take the iron supplements.
I believe that the absorption of iron by my guts should be fine though. Hematologist said that when my hemoglobin levels are increased after taking iron supplements, absorption should be fine. Also, when I took iron tablet at night on an empty stomach, my GP confirmed after the blood analysis that I had elevated levels of serum iron (that was also independently confirmed by another doctor a year later).
I do not suffer from celiac disease. I should not suffer from an increased destruction of red blood cells, bilirubin levels are normal. I am not a vegetarian. I have no intestinal parasites. The amount of vitamin B12 and other blood parameters are in normal ranges.
These problems started about 6 years ago, before that I did not need to constantly take iron supplements.
I would like to ask you few questions:
1. May I have some form of iron malabsorption considering the fact that my body is able to absorb sufficient amounts of iron from the supplements but not from normal diet?
Note .: My sibling eats almost the same food as I but his hemoglobin levels are absolutely all right, without need of taking iron supplements.
2. What various conditions or illnesses should I have?
3. What can cause so massive decreasing of hemoglobin levels? Where do I lose it, if I do not bleed?
What could cause severe groin pain. 55yr old female, with 3 scoliosis surgery at 12, 17, 21yrs. (in the 1970’s) Harrington rod put in , taken out and third surgery was bone taken from my hip and fused to lower spine.
Some hip pain when weather is bad but the groin pain is extreme. Pain started in my mid 40’s beginning periodically at night when I was in bed. But groin pain is happening now at least 4 days a week, very sharp and it is not like the ache I get in my hip from time to time.
I am convinced that I have Celiacs disease but I’m not sure how to go forward. I have temporal lobe epilepsy and I have had digestive issues my entire life. 2 years ago I cut gluten out of my diet and my epilepsy symptoms vanished, I kept an epilepsy diary and confirmed that whenever I ate gluten I had a seizure in the next 2 days. For the past year I have been gluten free and had only 2 seizures during the same period when I previously had multiple daily seizures. My digestive problems such as constipation and bloating have also resolved.
My general health however is not optimum, I follow a paleo style diet and do not eat any processed foods or added sugars yet I still suffer with low Vit D and ferritin (with normal haemoglobin) levels despite taking supplements. I also suffer with acne and fatigue.
I really believe that the root of my issues could be Celiacs disease. Although I follow a gluten free diet I share a comunal kitchen and cross contamination is likely.
Should I just assume I have Celiacs and manage cross contaminations? I am aware that I need to eat gluten regularly to accurately test for Celiacs (previous blood test was negative) but I am not willing to put myself through this as my epilepsy is now so well controlled with my diet.
Is there another way I can seek a diagnosis? My GP has advised me to ‘assume I do have celiacs’ but I am left wondering about my long term health.
I have a herniated lumbar disc l5 s1 and have weakness and numbness in my left leg and foot. Since wednesday I have had diahaereo and when I empty my bladder I feel a need to want to empty it some more. I now have pain and tenderness in my left side and tenderness in my genital area. I am female, take no tablets am not diabetic. Am healthy apart from above. Are the two connected with the herniated disc?
My sister had her spleen out, after that she had several blood clots form, they said they cannot break up due to their size and how many their are. She has been on blood thinners for years. She now had an enlarged artery burst and is bleeding internally into the area where her spleen was. They tried to go in through the two arteries where they thought it was bleeding, couldn’t get past the blood clot on one, and the other was not the one bleeding. Basically they say they’ve done what they can. Isn’t there a specialist somewhere that knows how to deal with it? Mayo Clinic also says theres nothing they could do. Shes a 30yr old Female
