I had a surgery to remove large fibroids, but I'm struggling to understand why it was considered urgent when the fibroids weren't causing any problems. Now, I'm experiencing urinary incontinence, sexual and bowel dysfunction, aching hips, all-over pain, weight gain, and depression. What could have been the urgency for the surgery, and is there any risk of complications from leaving the fibroids to shrink naturally at menopause?

I feel lightheaded and lightweight, like my body is running low on energy. After I eat, I feel better after about 20 minutes. What could be the reason for this?

I am a 57-year-old woman who recently experienced vomiting, multiple bowel movements, and a massive nosebleed, along with ongoing nausea and a headache. I take Effexor, Valium, Ventolin, and have recently started Otis 6. I also experience occasional hot and cold sensations but no dizziness or trouble breathing. How should I manage these symptoms?

I have excruciating pain in my right ear since Thursday. I've been taking Tylenol, Advil, and amoxicillin-clavulanate, and using cefotaxime drops. The pain is constant and sharp, especially when lying down. What should I do next?

I had my right kidney removed in 2014. Now, I am experiencing severe pain that makes it difficult to lay down, sit up straight, or walk well. The pain is constant and has been for the last four days, though it came and went before that. The pain is sharp, achey, and sometimes stabbing. I also have CKD stage 3, arthritis in my knees, and have had gout in the past. I had a colonoscopy in February, which showed no problems, but I have had IBS symptoms since then. What could be causing this pain, and what should I do?

What causes sighing dyspnea/air hunger, static-like vision, lightheadedness, and feelings of anxiety or panic, especially after eating, and can these symptoms be related to stress, anxiety, or acid reflux?
