What can stabbing pain in the chest come from, especially if it comes and goes every few minutes, doesn't hurt when breathing, and is located under the breast, on the left side of the back, and shoulder? I'm a 20-year-old woman with no recent physical activity or trauma.

I have been experiencing gastritis or upper stomach nausea and slight pain, which seems to come and go. Do you think this is a serious problem, or is there something I can take to feel better?

I have a question about gastrointestinal issues. About once a month, I see blood in my stool, which has happened about three times in my life. I haven't used any medication for this. I’m going to see a doctor this week. What could be the cause of this bleeding, and should I be worried about cancer?

I hit the back of my head hard on a metal object. There was a small cut and bleeding, and now it is just painful. I vomited saliva while brushing my teeth, possibly due to alcohol consumption. There is only one small bump. Should I be concerned about a brain bleed, and do I need a CT scan? Also, when can I take Advil after drinking alcohol?

My wife is 73 years old with a history of IBS, hypothyroidism, Gilbert's syndrome, and a slightly fatty liver. Recently, she has been experiencing hot flashes and sweating mainly when eating. Are these symptoms associated with IBS, and what additional tests or treatments might be necessary?
