My fingers have turned blue, primarily in the left but also in the right, for a couple of hours now. This is the second time in as many weeks. Last time, a trip to the ER resulted in a diagnosis of hypoglycemia. I've been carefully watching my diet, am not overweight, exercise, and generally healthy. Six weeks ago, I started low-dose thyroid hormone replacement Levothyroxine .05mg for a gradually declining thyroid. I am a 46-year-old female. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I am a 27-year-old female experiencing constant pain in my right upper abdomen. An ultrasound was clear, but a HIDA scan showed my gallbladder functioning at 35%. My surgeon doesn't recommend removal because it's not below 30%, and suggests an EGD or waiting a month. I don't want to be in pain anymore. Should I get a second opinion or spend more time and money looking for another problem?

I am taking 12 different pills, totaling 23 pills a day. Do they interact against each other, and are they helping me get better?
