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 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?

I've been getting dizzy for no apparent reason. My neck aches and my head feels stuffed up. I went to the doctor who checked my blood and blood pressure and said all was okay. What could be causing these symptoms and what tests should I consider?

Me he sentido muy ansiosa y algunas veces con el corazón acelerado y falta de aire. Ando ansiosa y me ahogo a ratos. Tengo 28 años y este mes he tomado Plan B para no tener hijos, la he tomado 4 veces en el mismo mes. Estoy casada y estoy saliendo con alguien que me gusta mucho pero él no sabe que soy casada y me ha propuesto matrimonio, lo que me tiene ansiosa porque no sé qué hacer. Mi esposo actual es un hombre mayor y borracho pero cuida por mí económicamente, y con el que conocí es un muchacho joven, aventurero pero sin dinero, pero me ha propuesto mudarme con él e intentarlo y me siento en una incrusijada. Esto me tiene alterado los nervios y la ansiedad y mi salud mental. ¿Qué cree que debería hacer?

My mother has metastatic renal cell carcinoma in its final stages. My family has been approached by hospice to admit her as soon as possible. What is the difference between hospice and comfort care? How can I find out more about comfort care? I want my mother to be as comfortable as possible during her last days.

I have had my period for about a month now, initially very heavy with a lot of clotting, and now it has slowed down but I am still bleeding. I took a pregnancy test and it was negative. What could this be?
