I have a bad cough and bronchitis. I had a chest X-ray that showed mild hazy bilateral pulmonary opacity and atelectasis rather than consolidation. I've been dealing with this for a week and a half. I also have a history of bronchitis when I get a cold, asthma symptoms when I get a cough, and diabetes. Will the antibiotics I've been given clear this up?

I had a physical recently and my results showed some abnormalities. My microalbumin was high (37.8), the UMA/CR ratio was 38, and my creatinine was low (0.5). Also, my mono% was low (5.7). I'm trying to figure out what it means, possible problems, and next steps. My doctor didn't seem concerned, but I'm not convinced. I have pains in my arm and shoulder, abnormal bleeding during sex, and I've been more tired than usual. I've had sleeve surgery in 2016 and gallbladder surgery in 2014. I have diabetes and high blood pressure, both under control with diet only. What do these results mean, and what should I do next?

It’s almost 2am, and I can’t sleep due to trouble breathing deeply. I’m a 76-year-old female with sleep apnea, and using a CPAP machine is aggravating the issue. I’m alone and haven’t been able to reach my son or a neighbor. What are my options for safe remedies, or should I drive to the hospital emergency room?

My parathyroid level is 147, sed rate is 41. All of my muscles ache, I can't eat, zero energy, and depression because of this. I've been everywhere, short of the Mayo clinic and no doctor seems to know what to do. Where do I go from here?

I have injected myself and the area is warm to touch and inflamed. I haven't seen a doctor yet and am not taking any medications. What could be the issue and how should it be treated?
