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 2 years ago for similar symptoms and was cleared. I'm morbidly obese and an occasional smoker. Pain killers don't seem to lessen the discomfort. What could be causing this pain and what can I do to alleviate it?

My nails on both thumbs, index fingers, and one little finger are yellow and pulling away from the nail beds, chipping in layers. My big toes and several others have black spots and a coarse appearance. I've taken Lamisil in the past, which helped, but it's no longer effective. I'm a 61-year-old female with slightly high cholesterol and a vitamin D deficiency. Could there be an underlying illness or health issue causing this?

I recently had a blood test showing high calcium levels. I have a thyroid problem for which I take 0.1mg thyroxine 6 days a week, and I also have a cardiac condition. I take aspirin, Losec, candesartan, and verapamil for blood pressure. I also take cod liver oil which contains D & A vitamins. What could be causing the high calcium levels and how can I treat this issue?

I feel very nervous and stressed around people, and I can only talk about work or school-related issues. I often blame myself for many things and try to get out of social situations as soon as possible. I think I might be suffering from social anxiety. How do I know if I am suffering from this or not?
