My period ended a few days ago but I still have swollen breasts, on and off waves of nausea, weakness, and cramping. The period only lasted 3 days and last night after going to the gym I spotted dark brown and had horrible cramping while trying to run. What could be going on? I never usually get any kind of PMS before or during my period, the breasts were swollen a full week before my period followed by extreme flu-like symptoms.

I was told that my alkaline phosphatase level was slightly elevated during a routine physical, and my doctor wants to perform more blood work, including some 'exotic tests.' I'm concerned about the necessity of these tests and whether they should be done after an 8-10 hour fast. What should I understand about this situation and what are the potential causes of elevated alkaline phosphatase levels?

My father is experiencing conflicting results from CAT and PET scans. Initially, it was suspected that small cell carcinoma of the lung was the primary cause, but recent findings suggest that the cancer originated in the bone. Is there a bacterial, viral, or fungal infection that could produce such results?

I bent over yesterday and got a sharp pain like I pinched something inside. The location is 2-3 inches below the sternum and maybe 2 inches right of the sternum (not under the rib cage). Sitting upright is uncomfortable, and bending forward gives me the sharp pain again. The pain isn't terrible but is nagging and sometimes sharp. Should I be concerned enough to have it looked at or just chalk it up to a pinched muscle?

I was taking Metoprolol 50mg for my blood pressure, which seemed to be working well, but I experienced anxiety and trouble sleeping. My blood pressure elevated, so my doctor increased my dosage to 100mg of Metoprolol and added 150mg of Avapro. After a week, I experienced severe panic attacks and anxiety that I cannot cope with. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?
