I have persistent pain in my left shoulder and arm, and occasionally in the muscles above my heart. I believe it's from sleeping poorly and bad posture due to long hours on the computer. I've had an ECG and treadmill stress test two years ago for similar symptoms and was cleared. I am morbidly obese and an occasional smoker. Painkillers don't seem to lessen the discomfort. What could be causing this pain and what can I do about it?

My period has been 2 weeks long...is this normal?

Is it possible that taking iron pills or having too much chocolate makes the period late?

I have had shortness of breath for almost 3 weeks now. I am asthmatic and have just finished a 12-day prescription of steroids. I can't walk from one room to the next without being out of breath. What could be going on?

Lately, I've been experiencing sore calf muscles, mostly while in bed. The whole muscle tightens up and is very painful. Can you give me any reason why this is occurring? There has been no change in my daily routines which I can blame for this. Thank you.
