I woke up with discomfort in my left chest, sweating, shaking, nausea, back and neck pain. The chest discomfort has mostly gone but other symptoms remain. I had a normal EKG and my doctor thinks it's an inflamed rib cage. I'm also experiencing anxiety and chest pain that feels like pinching, which the doctor treated with Prednisone but the pain has returned. I also have slight jaw discomfort. What could be causing these symptoms and how can I relieve the anxiety to sleep?

I have been suffering from severe head and neck pain, daily headaches, intense pressure, loss of vision/balance, numbness/tingling/burning in my neck and back, severe bladder issues, and extreme lethargy. My MRI showed a 3 cm pineal cyst and Chiari type 1 malformation, and I have several bulging discs at the c-spine level, as well as T and L spine. I have tried various treatments including injections, medications, and physical therapy, but my symptoms have progressed. What could be causing these symptoms and what further tests or treatments should I consider?

My 10-year-old daughter sometimes looks more pale than usual, and my 45-year-old husband has a chronic scalp condition causing swollen lymph nodes. Should I be concerned about these symptoms, and what are the signs of an impending growth spurt in children?

I am 16 weeks pregnant and was recently placed on Clindamycin for a tooth infection. Since then, I have had chronic yellow/green diarrhea that is very foul smelling and explosive, accompanied by nausea and vomiting. My stomach is very bubbly, and I can't seem to keep anything in or down for the last few days. I have tried a bland diet of toast and crackers, but my appetite is not there, and neither is my urge to drink anything, even though I keep trying to push fluids on myself. I am confused as to what is happening with my body and whether or not my baby is at risk.

I have heterogeneous signal throughout vertebrae bodies and bone marrow reconversion. I experience leg weakness, pain upon walking that worsens with activity and especially at night, and I'm unstable using my legs. They hurt all the time, feeling like I have a bad tooth. My WBC and RBC are low, and I have fractures up and down my spine. I'm 49 years old and weigh 123 pounds. Should I be worried about these symptoms and MRI findings?
