I am a 59-year-old male with a chronic throat clearing problem that has worsened over the past six years. I have seen allergists, ENT specialists, and undergone various tests without finding a solution. The throat clearing is constant, especially after eating, and can be violent at night. I have tried medications, increased fluid intake, and even anxiety treatments like Xanax, but nothing has provided significant relief. Where can I find specialized help to solve this problem?

I am a 27-year-old female beginner runner who started in March and is training for a marathon in September. My longest run so far is 11 miles in 2 hours and 1 minute, and I've completed 26 miles this week. I'm running at an elevation of 4,895 ft / 1,492 m. Is my time for 11 miles good or average, or am I still doing poorly?

I take 1,200 mg of Magnesium per day, which causes diarrhea. How much Loperamide should I take to manage this, and can I increase my Magnesium dose without worsening the diarrhea? Additionally, I take up to 1,500 mg of Calcium for heartburn, which sometimes causes constipation. How do these interactions affect my bowel health, and what precautions should I take?

I have some measurements done using Apple Watch via some apps. It always says 'ENERGY is low!' Any advice to improve body energy levels? Is it related to the stents implanted? I get worried that the stents might get covered and tighten. My cholesterol is 124, but HDL and triglycerides are both okay. To push cholesterol to less than 70, I am sure it will cause betterment but might later cause issues with liver/sleeping, etc.
