I have been experiencing upper back pain in my right shoulder blade for about 3 weeks, which has improved but now sometimes occurs when taking a deep breath. Additionally, I have noticed discomfort in my left neck starting today. The pain is dull and sometimes migrates to my lower back on the same side. I am a 25-year-old heavy equipment operator with no medical conditions and am not currently taking any medications. What could be causing this pain and what can I do to alleviate it?

Yesterday afternoon, I suddenly started sweating excessively for about 10 minutes while sitting down. This has happened once before, last year in November. The sweating felt like it was getting worse by the minute during the episode. I am a 39-year-old male, not on any medications, and regularly use cannabis for recreational purposes. I was very anxious yesterday. What could be causing this and should I get my vital signs checked?

My stomach is really sore, bloated, and feels tight. It hurts on both the right and left sides when pressed and is also affecting my back. I feel hot one second and cold the next. The pain started yesterday and is quite constant. I have myotonic dystrophy, had pneumonia in the past, and experience shortness of breath. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have been coughing for about two weeks, and today I noticed some blood in my phlegm. I have allergies and was prescribed steroids to prevent bronchitis. Should I be concerned about the blood, and if it happens again, how often should I see a doctor?
