I have a golf ball size lump below my rib cage on the right side. It doesn't hurt to touch it. How long have you had the lump? Have you used any medication for it? Have you seen a doctor about the lump? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

I am experiencing headaches, dizziness, and horrible ear pain. I normally feel dizzy a few times a day, and the ear pain has been on and off but is getting worse. I previously got checked out for an ear infection, but the doctor said they weren't infected. Could this be related to migraines or vertigo?

I took a Plan B pill within 72 hours after unprotected sexual intercourse, and my period is 4-5 days late. I had sex today and experienced bleeding, but I'm unsure if it's my period. Could this be related to the Plan B pill, and should I take a pregnancy test?

I was diagnosed with acute bronchitis on October 20th after a chest x-ray. I've been using an albuterol inhaler and amoxicillin, then switched to Doxycycline and Prednisone. I'm still coughing and experiencing a rattle in my exhale, occasional vomiting, headaches, and lack of appetite. I'm also feeling weak and short of breath with activity. I have a history of breast cancer and a MURSA infection, and recently had a reverse shoulder replacement. Should I continue with my current treatment or seek further medical attention?

I had chickenpox as a child and received the first shingles vaccination on 8/25/19. Three days ago, I started experiencing pain on the right side of my waist, which has since turned into skin sensitivity soreness spreading in a band-like pattern around my waist and upwards to just below the ribcage. There is no rash, and I've had no fevers or chills. I'm suspecting shingles, but could this be a prodrome of shingles, and should I wait for a rash to develop or seek medical advice now?

My partner has done 5 home pregnancy tests in the last week, all showing negative results, but the line keeps getting harder to see. She had some mucusy blood the day before her last period, and she is experiencing stomach pains, sore breasts, and occasional nausea. She is unsure of how many weeks she is and is not sure if she is pregnant. She takes Vitamin D and iron 2-3 times per week, and also takes valproate. This would be her 10th pregnancy with 7 children. When was her last period, did she have unprotected sex during ovulation, and when does she expect her next period?
