I've been having pain in the upper right side of my stomach for three days. It's mostly persistent throughout the day but subsides occasionally. I also feel nauseous, especially when I lay down. I had a CT scan a few months ago that showed an ovarian cyst, but everything else, including the gallbladder and appendix, looked okay. Could this pain be related to those findings, or is it something else? Additionally, could it be a hernia from lifting my 7-month-old baby frequently?

I am experiencing worsening symptoms including nerve issues, pain in the left wrist (possibly carpal tunnel), pain in the middle of the spine when bending, weakness in the front neck muscles affecting breathing, and overall muscle weakness and tingling. I have lost weight and am having difficulty eating and sleeping. My chest feels caved in, and I have high blood pressure and chest pain. What could be causing these symptoms and what can I do to alleviate them?

How to avoid diabetes? I am a healthy 36-year-old man with a bad eating habit, including daily coffee with cream and occasional ice cream and energy drinks. I believe drinking lots of water after consuming sugar can wash it away. Is this theory correct?

My primary care physician (PCP) will not prescribe any thyroid medications for me because my TSH is in the 'normal' range. He only prescribes antidepressants. I've been experiencing hyperthyroid symptoms for almost four years and no one will help me. Even the endocrinologists I've seen only rely on lab results and not symptoms. What can I do?
