A friend of mine, who is 66 years old and takes medication for high blood pressure, recently lost her best friend (her dog) and has since complained of burning stabbing pain in the center of her chest above her stomach. What could be causing this pain, and what steps should be taken to determine if it's related to her heart?

The pain your friend is experiencing is likely not related to a heart problem, as heart-related pain...

I was bitten by a tick around July 10, 2023, and have been experiencing fatigue for about 3 weeks (since before Thanksgiving). I also had a headache, slight cough, and sore throat. I removed two ticks, one of which was large and engorged, indicating it had been attached for over 7 days. I never took any antibiotics for the tick bite. A rash from the bite lasted several months. What should I do about my symptoms?

I have been experiencing ear pain and ringing for one week, along with a burst blood vessel in my eye on the same side. I am 46 years old, my blood pressure is normal, and I have no other symptoms except for some neck/jaw pain. What could be causing these issues, and what should I do next?

I want to talk to an OB about my daughter's pregnancy. Specifically, I would like to know if there is a subchorionic hematoma visible on her ultrasound at 7 weeks 1 day, as one doctor thinks there is and another doesn't. This is causing anxiety for both of us.

I need a doctor's note for sick leave. I have symptoms including a stuffed nose and sinus, fever, fatigue, cough, asthma, swollen tonsils, and headaches. I've been congested for two weeks and have been in a cold barn with a lot of dust and fumes. My throat is sore, and I sometimes struggle to breathe at night. What can I do for symptomatic relief, and how can I get a doctor's note?

I’ve been getting constant goosebumps on my right thigh for about a month now. They come and go but it’s only on my right thigh, and for no reason. Should I see a doctor?
