I am a 23-year-old male with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). I experience various physical sensations such as muscle twitches, sharp pains, and random tight feelings in my head, which I often diagnose as serious illnesses. Recently, I had a pulsating sharp head pain on the left side of my head after a stressful night and eating a large amount of pizza. I also experience tingling in my right pointer finger, tension headaches, and random sensations on my scalp and face. I am terrified that these symptoms might indicate a brain tumor or an aneurysm. My family has a history of brain-related issues, which adds to my anxiety. I am currently taking Valium as needed and plan to see a psychiatrist for anti-anxiety medication. I am also experiencing a cold with a stuffy nose and sore throat. I am seeking reassurance that these symptoms are not life-threatening and advice on how to manage my anxiety.

I have burning sensations in or around my kidneys. When I lay on my right side, the burning is worse, but it shifts to my left side when I lay on my left side, providing some relief. I have had kidney stones in the past. Could this be an infection in my kidneys or possibly my gallbladder?

I accidentally took 0.75 milligrams of stertraline instead of 0.50 milligrams. I was supposed to increase my dosage today from 0.50 milligrams from 0.25 milligrams. I took 0.25 milligrams this morning and accidentally took 0.50 milligrams just now. Will I be okay?

I had a blood test and it showed my vitamin B12 level to be 364. I am having symptoms of neuropathy. Is this level too low and could this be the reason for the neuropathy?

How long do I have to wait after finishing a course of prednisone before I can have surgery to remove a non-functioning kidney, given that my immune system may have been compromised by the prednisone?
