I'm really concerned about this constant feeling of something pulling in the middle of my stomach between my ribs, and it's paired with heavy breathing. It's been happening for about three months now. I've had tests like Troponin, Stress Echo, X-ray of my chest and lungs, and an ultrasound, and everything came back normal. I've consulted a cardiologist, pulmonologist, and radiologist, but nothing seems to help. A bit of my background: Ive been taking Tolol XR25 for high blood pressure for a few years now and tried gastritis medicine like PanD for the past month, as suggested by my doctor, but it didnt work. My blood and urine tests are mostly normal except for a few things my Bilirubin is 1.99 mgdL, Vitamin D is 55 nmolL, Vitamin B12 is 177 pgmL, Apo A1 is 95 mgdL, and Apo B is 37 mgdL. Sometimes my hands shake, and I feel really lethargic all day, with heavy, labored breathing. I'm constantly aware of my stomach because of this. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

View allI'm dealing with jaundice and my bilirubin level is 5.2, with the conjugate one at 3.5 and the unconjugate at 1.5. How long should I expect this to take before it improves? And is it okay for me to go to college while I'm dealing with this? I've been eating boiled foods, but I'm wondering if it's safe to have noodles or something similar while I'm recovering.
With a bilirubin level of 5.2, your jaundice is mild to moderate, and recovery time varies from person to person, but typically takes 1-4 weeks; you can attend college, but take regular breaks, stay hydrated, and avoid strenuous activities; stick to a bland diet, and while boiled foods are good, avoid fattyspicy foods like noodles for now, instead opt for easily digestible foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast (BRAT diet),

I'm really concerned because I've been experiencing constant stomach irritation and this urge to go to the bathroom repeatedly, but it only results in passing a bit of mucus. This has been going on for the past two years, and I've noticed some slight weight loss over time. All my medical reports have come back normal, my hemoglobin levels are at 14, and CRP is at 1. There aren't any other issues with my body, but there's just a lot of acid in my stomach. I'm not sure what's going on, and I could really use some guidance on how to handle this. What should I do?
try eating several small meals instead of three large ones whenever you can...Avoid foods that irritate your stomach, especially those that are spicy, acidic, fried or fatty... avoid coffee,tea etc... Avoid stress,consider calming activities, such as meditation, yoga etc...sleep with head raised position and have dinner at least 2 hours before sleep..take over pantaprazole 40 mg twice daily before food with above for 15 days....Consult nearest gastroenterologist

I've got this really sharp, needle-like pain in my stomach, and it's been going on since yesterday. Could this be something serious or is it likely to be something that might just pass? Should I be doing something specific to help with the pain?
Lumps in the armpits can be caused by various factors, ranging from harmless to potentially serious conditions. Possible causes include: - Infected lymph nodes - Cysts or abscesses - Lipomas (benign fatty tumors) - Breast cancer (rarely) - Lymphoma (rarely) To determine the cause and appropriate treatment, consult a: - General Surgeon - Oncologist (if cancer is suspected) - Dermatologist (for skin-related issues) Precautions: - Avoid squeezing or pressing the lumps - Keep the area clean and dry - Avoid tight clothing that may irritate the lumps - Monitor the lumps for changes in size, shape, or tenderness
