I have been experiencing extreme trouble breathing and very tight chest for a few months now. I have asthma and have been insufflating pain pills for 7 years off and on. I haven't told any doctors about the insufflation, only about the breathing and chest tightness. I have had multiple chest X-rays, a CT scan with contrast, and an echocardiogram, all of which have come back normal. I feel that 75% of the time when I insufflate a pill, it causes me to use my nebulizer. If I've caused any damage, why would none of these tests show anything? I know I need to stop doing this and I'm working on it, but I'm very concerned about my breathing.

Why do I get recurring yeast infections?
February 29th, 2024
I have a pulsing sensation behind and above my right knee, just a bit to the inside. I started noticing it about 15 minutes ago, and it's continued unabated. I'm concerned about a DVT since I took a five-hour car ride through the mountains yesterday (though we did stop to walk around a bit about half way through). I'm a 28-year old male, and my family does have a history of blood clots. Is this something I should be concerned about and seek immediate attention for, or something that I should wait to see if it dissipates?

I have a crawling sensation on my vulva and buttocks every time I'm about to get my period. I've been diagnosed with a yeast infection before. Why does this occur and could it be herpes?

I recently stopped using the vaginal ring for birth control and have experienced strange abdominal pains, an increase in clear vaginal discharge, and now a yellow, watery discharge with no odor. I also noticed a light pink tinge when wiping. Could these symptoms be related to stopping birth control, a cyst that burst, or an infection? Should I be concerned about an STD from my husband?

I was diagnosed with tennis elbow a year ago, and now I have a new pain in my shoulder that feels like a vaccine shot. The pain worsens with activities like carrying groceries or using a computer mouse. How is this new pain related to my tennis elbow and shoulder movement?
