I always have a white coating on my tongue. I'm 18 and healthy, but I'm curious about what it is. It doesn't scrape off. I also have unexplained gastrointestinal problems and have been diagnosed with Iva a year ago. I don't take any medications, only supplements like preworkout, protein, and creatine. I've been diagnosed with GAD but manage it through exercise and meditation. How long has this been a concern for you? It’s been a constantly coming and going for years and I have it very often. Are you currently using any medications? No, I don’t take any medication. Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know? No other than the mentioned issues.

The white coating on your tongue is likely due to dried saliva, which can occur from mouth breathing...

My forearm is giving me a lot of pain, specifically on the outside of my right forearm. It hurts when I grab anything, make a fist, or extend my arm outward. The pain is mainly achy and feels like a pulling of the muscle or tendon. I'm a 33-year-old carpenter with a history of heavy lifting and outdoor work, but I can't recall any specific incident that caused this pain. It's been several days and the pain is not going away. What could be causing this and what should I do?

Is it okay for my heart rate to reach 180-210 when I run, and are there any dangers associated with experiencing PVCs after exercise when my heart rate returns to around 100?

I have had back issues since childhood, which have worsened over the last five years. I am now 51 years old, diagnosed with lumbar radiculopathy, asthma, and have trouble urinating. I recently lost my job due to my back condition. Could these issues be connected, and what treatment options are available?

I'm 18 years old and have been experiencing anxiety, breathing issues, and digestive problems such as constipation and feeling full despite eating very little. I'm taking escitalopram for anxiety and simethicone for gas relief, but I'm concerned about side effects and whether these medications are causing my constipation. How can I address these issues and know if my symptoms are due to anxiety or something more serious like brain damage?
