I experience bloating on my left side after eating bread or pasta, and I've had muscle twitches and spasms for years. I've had numerous tests, including EMGs, which all came back normal. My doctor says I'm 100% okay, but I suffer from severe health anxiety and am worried about serious conditions like cancer or ALS. What should I do to address these symptoms and my anxiety?

I would like a second opinion on the X-rays of a broken clavicle of my 15-year-old son. He has been concerned about the break for 4 days. He is currently using ibuprofen. The trauma surgeon mentioned a 55/60% chance of surgery being necessary, but I prefer a second opinion. What are your thoughts on the necessity of surgery for this fracture?

I have very little saliva in my mouth and have been diagnosed with burning mouth syndrome, which my doctor now thinks is due to two drugs I am taking: Klonipin 1mg and trazedone 100 mg at night. I also take cevimeline 30 mg 4xday for dry mouth and xylimelts. I have been on these medications for over 8 years and have noticed irritation as soon as I started taking trazodone. I need advice on how to safely taper off these medications and what else I can do to alleviate my dry mouth symptoms.

I haven’t had a period in 2/3 months, but home pregnancy tests and blood pregnancy tests come back negative. What are the possibilities I could still be pregnant? I have symptoms such as nausea, fatigue, lack of appetite/food aversions, and no period. I'm 19 years old with a history of regular periods and no significant changes in lifestyle or body.
