8 days ago, my boyfriend gave me a bear hug from behind, causing excruciating pain. An X-ray showed no broken ribs, but the pain persists and is uncomfortable, feeling like a huge ball in my right side that occasionally pops.

I've been experiencing night sweats, fatigue, exhaustion, loss of appetite, and occasional shortness of breath over the last couple of days. I don't have a fever or rash, and I might be diabetic. I'm taking medications for high cholesterol and blood pressure. What could be causing these symptoms?

I have a minty/cold feeling when I breathe in from my mouth. I was recently treated for an acute MS attack with solumedrol and am also taking vitamin D. Could this feeling be related to the steroid treatment or something else?

I have the flu with a fluctuating fever, coughing, and congestion. My temperature dropped to 96.9°F, which is lower than normal for me. I'm taking Tamiflu. Why did my temperature drop so low, and when should I worry about my temperature or seek medical attention?

I had gastritis for about 3 months and since then, I've had no stomach pain until today after taking 1 pill of enzymes. The pain lasted for about 4 hours and feels better now but still a little touchy after dinner. Did this reaggravate my gastritis?
