I'm experiencing something strange with my fingers, and I'm hoping you could help figure out what's going on. Sometimes in a week, my right hand middle finger shows a range from 93 to 95 or from 98 to 94. But when I check my left middle finger or any other finger, it's always between 97 and 100. This inconsistency has got me really puzzled. Could there be any reason why my right middle finger is showing these changes while the others aren't? Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

I've been dealing with this strange issue where my fingers swell up at night. It's happened four times this month, and it's just the phalanges, not the whole finger. It starts with itching, then affects about 12 of these tiny finger bones at once, but on different fingers each time. There's no joint swelling or pain, just itching and a sense of tightness where it swells. It goes away by morning and there's no other symptoms alongside it. Should I be worried or get this checked out?

I'm a 29-year-old guy, and I spend a lot of time sitting in front of a computer because of my software job. It's been about a year since I found out my uric acid levels were high, so I cut back on protein and I'm eating vegetarian now. I don't smoke, and I'm not really working out currently. My last uric acid level was at 7.0. I just got some blood work done, including Liver Function Tests, and it showed my globulin level is low at 1.81, and my albuminglobulin ratio is 2.81. Everything else in the LFT was okay. Is this something to be worried about? Should I be doing other tests to figure out what's happening, or could this all be related to my diet? What lifestyle or dietary changes do you recommend? And which kind of doctor should I get in touch with for advice?
