I'm pregnant and experiencing heart palpitations and shortness of breath for the past 6-7 weeks. I have no family history of heart disease and my health has been generally good. I have had a history of supraventricular tachycardia. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I need a nurse recommendation for my insurance to cover my COVID test. I was exposed to someone who tested positive for COVID, but I am not experiencing any symptoms. I am located on a college campus where COVID cases are increasing. Do you know of any online sites that can provide such a recommendation?

I was having stomach/gastro issues after eating a sandwich, including gnawing in the stomach, burning, awful gas, and soft stools. Blood work, stool tests, and a GI Map were done. The GI Map showed H pylori positive, while other tests were negative. I was prescribed pantoprazole and a stomach-coating medication, and started taking Pyloricil. After 7 days, the gnawing and burning are gone, stool is normal, but I have slight nausea, belching, and a loud stomach. Why do the tests conflict, and can I trust them? Could the symptoms be related to H pylori or other bacteria, or could it be stomach cancer?

I have pain on the right side of my chest that strikes for a few seconds randomly. Breathing doesn't make it worse or make it occur. The pain is a 4 on a scale of 1 to 10, lasts about a few seconds, and comes and goes throughout the day. I also experience slight nausea, excessive gas, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Could my diet, which includes a high intake of fiber and fruits like strawberries, blueberries, and bananas, be causing these symptoms?

My partner had a kidney stent put in as an emergency without treatment of the stone. She's finding it too uncomfortable to have in for 6-8 weeks until they do the second surgery to treat the stone. Would it be possible to have the kidney stone treatment sooner if we went to a private urologist?
