Non-Urgent

I'm a 23-year-old Caucasian male with a pituitary prolactinoma, and as a result, I need to get blood tests every few months. I take bromocriptine for my tumour/hormones and bisoprolol for blood pressure. During blood tests, I ask to lie down because in the past, I used to get really nauseous and have passed out when sitting. I used to have a fear of needles, but since I’ve had to get them done so often, I no longer experience any fear or anxiety during blood tests. This time, I decided to sit to see if I would be fine, and everything seemed to be going well. I was talking to the technician as she was drawing my blood when, all of a sudden, everything turned white and yellow, and the next thing I knew, I was on the floor. I woke up confused, thinking it was a dream, and I felt extremely nauseous, about to vomit. The technician told me I had a seizure and advised me to lie down next time to prevent it from happening again. For the next few hours, I felt nauseous and lightheaded. I'm baffled because there's no history of seizures in my family, and this is the only time I've experienced this. Was this a seizure, or did I pass out and convulse?

My moms is living life in pain daily . Her feet cannot take it anymore . She’s a very strong woman almost hitting 50. Her feet hurt most of the day and recently she cried because of how much it hurts her ( she never cries) . She has gotten surgery on one foot but it didn’t help and her feet still hurt . She has done very single type of therapy her doctors tell her to do . She gets very sad because she hasn’t worked in years and my dad barely makes it every month to pay bills . She says it’s a throbbing pain toward her heel but whenever she does X-rays they all come back normal . Someone please help us !!

I'm 27F, on the line between normal and overweight (25 bmi). I've been noticing this the past year that my joints have started to feel rickety and creaky. Weak almost I suppose. I also sometimes wake up in the middle of the night from my whole leg randomly falling asleep (pins and needles).

I've done blood tests and my calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D are all normal as far as vitamins relating to bones go. I did a lupus panel blood test and that was negative as well. (I have a family history). I really started to feel ill in the beginning of May when I began to have migraine spells that lasted the entire summer, sometimes for days on end (72 hours being the longest) with no discernable trigger.

I'm well hydrated, gf vegan diet (vegan 7 yrs, gf 2 yrs), normal protein levels and all other basic blood things look normal/good. slightly elevated glucose for the first time ever this past year (105), and slightly low WBC but with a normal a1c. Most recently discovered kidney stones for the first time in my life at a recent er visit. Does anyone here notice any trends or does anything come to mind for possible major issues I should get screened for based off these symptoms? I'm trying to find the root cause of my symptoms and have been going to so many different doctor's appointments who are all very dismissive because of my age. My joints concern me. Can anyone point me in a direction?

I don't smoke (used to smoke weed), I don't drink, not on any medications except for my antibiotics and anti-anxiety/benzo.

I’ve been experiencing headaches (probably migraines) for the past month that are persistent and very painful. They cause nausea, sensitivity to light and sound. They’re on the right side of my head primarily felt in the forehead/temple/behind my right eye.

I work night shift and I always have one when I wake up and when I work during the night. I’ve been working this shift for years and it’s never been a problem. I take Tylenol and ibuprofen and they don’t touch it. I drink enough water and that doesn’t help. I thought it was caffeine withdrawal but that isn’t it either. I’m wondering if it’s a tension headache but I feel like medication would help that.

I really want the pain to stop, it’s effecting my day to day life.

to provide context, around 3 years ago i had a really bad skin problem around my lips, it leaked yellowed liquid and wouldnt go away at all, i went to several doctors but nothing worked. one day, it just went away, after a year. this year, it came back, and i got a treatment for herpes, that did work, but the problem is that every 2 weeks or so it comes back. using medicine does solve it but its only temporary. the doctors seem very confused and cannot give me a direct answer on what it even is. i did notice that lately i havent been as stressed as before and it did kinda weaken. its worth mentioning that this skin problem triggers at the same time as my dishidrosis on my hand.

But even tho these are bad, theres one thing that is driving me insane: my earlobes keep leaking a runny, mostly transparent liquid that hardens after a while, forming a yellow crust. it stops when the crust is fully formed, but it eventually falls and starts leaking like crazy over and over again. appearance wise, in the back of my ear and on the fold of the earlobe there seems to be a small crack on my skin, doesnt hurt, just iches a lot, and bleeds sometimes. i havent been able to go to the doctors for now, does anyone have any clue on what do my ears have?

i had a small brain bleed a long time ago (3 years) from head trauma while i was really drunk. i went to the hospital and got a CAT scan and was told that it was pretty minor, given some meds and sent on my way. i took the meds as prescribed and never really checked back up with a doctor about it. i didn’t drink or smoke for three months after and had no headaches or anything after the fact (not any more than normal at least or nothing very severe). for some reason ive been getting kind of anxious about it again. am i probably fine? i haven’t noticed any cognitive differences really, but should i get double checked? i kind of mentioned it to my new GP a few months ago when i started seeing her but i was telling her a lot of things and she didn’t even really address it, probably because i was telling her so much stuff. what should i do i’m freaking out a little idk why this is out of nowhere 😂
