I have a stone-like growth inside my right nostril that is blocking my nasal passage and causing a runny nose for the past 3 years. The growth has been getting worse.

I am experiencing severe chest and throat pain when eating or drinking, which persists and randomly intensifies. I also have a low-grade fever and chills. Should I go to the emergency room? The pain has been present for two days and worsened significantly since this morning. Additionally, I have a cough and sore throat.

I am a 50-year-old female experiencing brief episodes of pre-syncope, where I feel like I pass out or black out for a very short period, especially when I'm tired or steering for a long time. I have had an EKG and blood work done, but not specifically for these symptoms. What could be causing this, and is it serious or dangerous?

I recently had thin, almost stringy-looking stools and a few that were slightly flat. I also noticed a yellow liquid in the toilet water. I recently finished a course of antibiotics for diverticulitis of the small intestine. What could be causing these symptoms, and should I be concerned?

I had the AstraZeneca 1st vaccine 12 weeks ago and am due for my 2nd dose tonight. During this time, I have had an increase in headaches, dizziness, and unexplained bruising on my left upper arm, which has subsided but left my lower left arm sore. Headaches have been off and on for a couple of weeks, not severe but frequent, and are generally dull and localized. I am 59 and have distended veins in the pelvic region. Is it okay to have a second shot of Pfizer instead of AstraZeneca?
