My husband had a vasectomy 8 years ago, and I have been feeling nauseous and burping a lot. My last period was on December 21, and we had sex on December 30 and January 6. I also had two drinks on my birthday. Could I be pregnant, and if so, would the alcohol harm the baby? Additionally, I'm 41 years old and have a gagging reflex when brushing my teeth. What could be causing these symptoms?

I had kidney stone problems for years up until last year. I went to the ER due to severe flank pain, where the doctor dismissed my complaints and diagnosed me with a kidney infection. Three days later, I was diagnosed with a more severe condition requiring hospitalization and surgery. I filed a complaint with the hospital and had a follow-up. Is there anything else I can do?

I have a sore rash that appeared two days ago on my side and has spread to my belly and a little on my back. I've been to two different doctors over the past two days, with one saying it's ringworm and the other saying it's shingles. I'm conflicted and unsure about the correct diagnosis. How long have you had the pain, and what seems to make the pain better or worse? Anything else in your medical history that the doctor should know?

I stopped smoking 2 cigarettes a day 3 days ago. My spirometer reading is 390, and I'm a 45-year-old female. I've seen a doctor who prescribed 5 days of antibiotics and prednisone. I work out 6 times a week but have slight throat irritation. My chest X-ray in October was good. I'm curious if a peak flow of 390-400 is normal and concerned about my lung health. I had asthma as a child and have no family history of cancer or emphysema. My lungs feel super irritated right now.

My wife is experiencing bugs under her skin, causing itching and crawling sensations. She has been using tweezers to pull these bugs out. What could be causing this and what should we do?
