Can a reproductive endocrinologist specializing in PCOS diagnose estrogen dominance? I have increased weight around my hips and thighs, gained 30 pounds in 6 months despite no changes in exercise and diet, increased facial hair, moodiness, high testosterone, and low T3. I'm allergic to thyroid medication and need to lose weight. Is a reproductive endocrinologist specializing in PCOS the right person to see?

I have been bulimic on and off for 6 and a half years. Two weeks ago I stopped cold turkey. I've had anxiety attacks leading to ER visits three times, with symptoms like pins and needles sensations and feeling like fainting. Each time, blood tests and EKGs were normal, as was a chest x-ray. I have a recurring dull ache in the left side of my chest that transfers to my arm and back. I'm going to a cardiologist for further evaluation. My near constant anxiety over this has me frightened. Are my EKGs and chest x-ray enough to exclude me from immediate danger? For bulimic patients, is an EKG typically enough to ensure no arrhythmia, or are there usually further tests beyond blood samples? Do you have any tips to reduce anxiety until my cardiologist appointment?

I tested positive for Chlamydia and wanted to know if I could buy an over-the-counter medicine for treatment. I took an at-home test and have not been prescribed any medicine. I have not seen a doctor about this yet, and there is nothing else in my medical history that the doctor should know.
