I have a slight potbelly, and I noticed that my left side is bigger than my right. I have COPD and no other medical history of note. I haven't seen a doctor or used any medication for this. When standing, the asymmetry is more visible, and occasionally, if my stomach is bulged out and tight, pushing down in the middle with my finger feels round and hurts. What could this be?

I have a 3.5-year-old child who has been sick with a cough and a snotty nose. I can feel a vibration on his back when he breathes, and his breathing sounds abnormal. He had bronchulites in the past, and usually, any illness was attributed to a viral infection. What could be causing this, and what additional information should I provide to help diagnose the issue?

I am suffering from sleep deprivation and can only sleep in a moving vehicle. I have seen a cardiologist and am recovering from Type B Influenza. I am a heart patient, and my father had bypass surgery. My health has been poor lately, and I need a couple of hours of sleep to avoid becoming irrational and zombie-like. Can you help me find a cab company that can drive me around for a couple of hours so I can get some sleep?

My daughter, age 7, has had recurring sore throat issues for years. She was recently diagnosed with strep throat and mononucleosis. She eats healthily, participates in gymnastics and ballet, and the facilities have subpar cleanliness. What should I do and what should I look for in the future to prevent these recurring throat infections?
