How can I lose the extra weight I have gained around my belly? I am 53 and going through menopause. I haven't had a menstrual period in about 3 years. I have had to buy larger size pants. This weight gain happened overnight. I have tried to do crunches and eat less but to no success. I would appreciate any advice you can give me. Do you think it could be a hormonal change? Should I get on hormones??

Can a HCG level of 425 at 3 weeks 5 days be okay or would this be considered an ectopic pregnancy even though an ultrasound taken this early cannot detect that it is?

I experience frequent urination, a feeling of fullness in the upper abdomen, weight gain, and increased hunger, which I satisfy by eating more frequently. I'm concerned about my health and would like to be tested. What do you recommend?

I have a severe anxiety disorder and OCD. I went to the ER because I always think I have cancer. I've had 3 CT scans this year and the ER doctors said no more CT scans due to too much radiation exposure, which increases my risk of getting cancer. Now I'm scared I might get cancer. My lungs hurt a little when I breathe in and out, and sometimes I think I have lung cancer. Do you think I do, and are my chances high of getting it from the CT scans?
