I experienced a two-hour ache in the center of my chest, which felt deeper, and it went away after taking Pepcid. I am 66 years old, had breast cancer 11 years ago, and have fibromyalgia. The pain did not travel to my jaw, neck, or left arm, and I did not experience shortness of breath or leg swelling. I am allergic to morphine and had my last doctor's checkup six months ago, with blood tests a year ago. What could be causing this pain and what should I do next?

I have a small scab on my upper thigh that has been there for a few weeks. It was itchy before but is not currently. Could you please tell me what you think it is and if it is serious?

I am 46 years old, male, with high blood pressure, a history of smoking (casually, about half a pack per week), and a past skin cancer diagnosis. I recently had a calcium score test and a CT scan, which showed a coronary artery calcium score of 0 (25th percentile for age and gender) and patchy ground glass opacities in the left lower lobe, likely inflammatory. I was exposed to wildfire smoke and had symptoms like coughing up green and yellow mucus, losing my voice, and chest tightness. My primary care doctor says the results are fine, but I am worried about cancer and other potential issues. What should I understand about these results and their implications?
