Hello, I am experiencing symptoms that sound like IBS for the past week or two. I was diagnosed with Gastritis (H. Pylori) back in May. I have no health insurance as of right now. There is pain in my upper abdomen area near the stomach and towards the right side of my body. I have been experiencing constipation, bloating, gas (and sometimes unable to pass gas), some lightheadedness. I have had no fever or sign of infection. I have an appointment set for the 8th of January. I also began taking a Probiotic as well as Prilosec for the past three days. When should I become concerned, if at all? Should I go to the ER before my appointment?

I feel depressed at some moments, then later on in the day I feel normal. Is that normal?

I am 27 and have never been pregnant or had PID or other infections. I am currently pregnant but do not know the exact date of my last period, which was between February 10th and 20th. I have no pain or discomfort. My HCG levels are 5025, and an ultrasound did not show definitive results. The clinic is concerned about an ectopic pregnancy, but I think it's just too early. I lost my job and do not have health insurance or extra money. What would you suggest?

I have a slight concussion and had a clean CT scan this morning. Now when I try to lay down, I get a vibration and pressure in my ears and head, and the migraine caused by the concussion is worsening. I am also having trouble focusing my vision and am vomiting. What does all this mean?

Why would a doctor call you after an ultrasound, especially if the ultrasound tech said everything looked good and other tests like the quad test were normal?

My head is pulling back and I cannot concentrate. It feels like my head is spinning and objects are moving in front of my eyes. This has been going on for the last 3 days with no headaches, just a feeling of weight on my head. What could this be and should I see a doctor?

My stomach/abdomen area is very extended and solid (not soft and giggly). The area begins just below my breasts and extends to below my stomach. At night, when I lay on my back, it feels like it's pushing my ribs wider. I am 64 years old, 5'4" tall, and weigh approximately 165 lbs. Is this anything to worry about, or do I just need to lose some weight?

I'm a 22-year-old female who has just had a mediastinoscopy for enlarged lymph nodes in my chest. Since the surgery, I've had a low heart rate (in the low 50s) and haven't had a bowel movement. Is this normal, and what advice can you provide?
