I have been experiencing elevated anxiety and multiple panic attacks for the past two weeks, despite making major lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, improving diet, exercising, practicing yoga, and attending counseling. Why am I feeling worse, and will these panic attacks start to level off? I tend to worry about worst-case scenarios with my health and had normal test results a month ago. Does increased anxiety and panic occur even when you get healthier?

My brother had inguinal surgery in February 2015 and has experienced immediate postoperative pain in the anorectal area since. He has undergone various tests including colonoscopy and urology workups, but nothing has been found. He has been on Metamucil and antibiotics for a 'wastebasket' diagnosis of prostatitis, but the pain persists. He has limited access to specialists as he lives on Guam. What could be causing his chronic pain, and what further steps can be taken to address it?

I am pretty sure I have an ulcer. I have rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and have been experiencing nausea and severe stomach pain intermittently for two weeks. I'm on proton pump inhibitors twice a day and I'm allergic to penicillin. I think I need to get it checked but don't know what to do.
