I have had a lump in my throat for about 8 months, which hasn't changed in size and causes difficulty swallowing and constant mucus production. I'm 33, don't use any medications, and smoke, though I've cut back. I'm concerned about my thyroid and looking for the cheapest option to get my throat checked.

I have been experiencing excessive sweating, a rapid heartbeat, headaches, and an extremely dry mouth for about 6 months. The headaches come and go, are sharp and feel like they are crushing my head, affecting both sides and the top of my head. I am a 56-year-old female taking Taltz, Gabapentin, Omeprazole, Levothyroxine, and Fluoxetine. I weigh 302 pounds, have a history of migraines since age one, a complete hysterectomy 26 years ago, thyroid problems under control for several months, COPD, beginning stages of emphysema, chronic bronchitis, chronic asthma, and sleep apnea. I also receive shots for hip and spine pain but don't know their name. My headaches trigger vasculitis, and my heart palpitations occur off and on throughout the day, especially when lying down. I sleep propped up due to sleep apnea. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do next?

Can low testosterone cause sudden onset erectile dysfunction (ED) and lack of sex drive? I was fine one day and the next day I have ED and no sex drive. I have a history of hypothyroidism, atrial fibrillation, diabetes, and herniated discs. Should I be concerned about a heart issue?
