About three weeks ago, the vision in my left eye suddenly deteriorated. I'm 53, male, and my vision is no longer in sync. The vision is fuzzy, almost as if my eye is not fully opened. It just came on so suddenly. I woke up one morning and the vision was greatly reduced. Any suggestions?

I am a 49-year-old female with a history of hypothyroidism, currently on Synthroid. I have been experiencing a series of frightening symptoms including heart palpitations, digestive issues, constipation, chest and mid-thoracic spine pain, hypoglycemic-like symptoms, dizziness, weakness, tingling in limbs, headaches, and internal tremors. My TSH level is 2.495, and I believe I may be overmedicated. Is it safe to stop taking Synthroid temporarily to see if symptoms subside? How long does it take for Synthroid to leave my system, and how long before I might see improvement if the symptoms are medication-related? Are there non-medication or bioidentical hormone treatments for hypothyroidism?

I have had 23 biopsies done on my breast, mostly on the right side, with no cancer found in any of them. I have cystic fibrocystic disease and still have fibroids despite being post-menopausal. I don't want to continue getting biopsies and surgeries. Do I have to continue these procedures, especially since there is no family history of breast cancer?

I have a hard lump to the right of my belly button and around it a little on the top. It's quite large. I just noticed about a week ago. Does cancer in any of the organs in this area present as a noticeable lump like this? I'm thinking it is a hernia or something. I had a tubal ligation in this area 20 years ago. It wouldn't get so big so fast if it were cancer, would it? I'm a worry wart. Please reassure me if possible. I'm seeing my doctor next week but scared to death.
