I have been experiencing constant back pain for the past two months, along with sharp pain on my left side and occasional headaches. I am 31 years old, take triamterene and metoprolol for slightly elevated blood pressure, and have a desk job where I try to stay active. My back pain began during the pandemic when I was less active, and I have gained weight since then. What could be causing this pain, and what steps should I take to address it?

I recently went to the ER for a migraine attack. My CT angio came back normal, but my bloodwork showed an increase in LDL cholesterol from 113 in March to 146 in July, and a drop in hemoglobin, indicating mild anemia. What could these changes mean, and are they related?

Hello doctor, I have been having some issues with my typing lately (from about 6 months). I usually end up typing words in a hurry differently, interchanging alphabets. For example, instead of 'the', I most times write 'teh'. It may be because I type fast and it has become a habit. But I sometimes also forget where I am at the spelling. Halfway into the spelling, I don’t remember what part of the word I’ve already written. I usually am typing and not looking at the screen. Is there something wrong with this or normal? I’m 32 years old.

I believe I have a hormonal imbalance due to excessive facial hair growth as a woman. I have not experienced recent weight loss/gain and am not excessively thirsty. What could be causing this and what steps should I take to address it?

I have a sinus infection that has triggered my asthma. My ears are completely shut so I can't hear anything. When this happens, I usually need prednisone and ear antibiotics. I also need my citalopram 20 mg refilled as I am a traveling nurse and my doctor is in Ocala. How long have you been dealing with this? Are you having any breathing problems? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

Last week my potassium was 1.9 and I was diagnosed with hypokalemia and rhabdomyolysis. How serious are these conditions and can they be life-threatening?
