I am a 30-year-old healthy male with elevated ferritin levels at 728 ng/ml, but normal iron and transferrin levels. I have inflammatory skin conditions (acne, eczema) and some shoulder issues from weight lifting. Should I be worried about my elevated ferritin levels, and what further steps should I consider?

I've had consistent cramp feelings right below my ribs on the right side for a couple of months, which sometimes extend to my chest. I'm a 31-year-old male, not overweight, drink alcohol, and enjoy spicy food. I haven't been exercising much and haven't always eaten healthily. What could be causing this cramping and who should I see for a proper diagnosis?

I take 75mg of Effexor ER and have a constant, wet cough with some tightness and wheezing in my chest for about a week. I am 24 years old and have been on Effexor for a year. What can I take for my cough that will not interact too much with my Effexor?

One month ago, small red rashes appeared on my hand, spreading to my entire body within three days. Some of them swell and turn yellow. The ones on my back become painful when it's warm. Can you describe the texture and appearance of the rashes in more detail? Are they flat or raised? Do they have any specific pattern or shape? Have you recently come into contact with any new substances, such as chemicals, medications, or plants, that could have triggered this reaction? Have you experienced any other symptoms, such as itching, pain, fever, or fatigue, along with the appearance of these rashes?

I have been experiencing red spotting between periods, strong lower back pain, and smelly discharge for the past 1-2 weeks. I am currently taking antibiotics prescribed by my gynaecologist but still have pain and discharge. What could be causing these symptoms and is the lower back pain related to the infection?
