I have been experiencing head pressure, lightheadedness, dizziness, and heart palpitations for a few months. An MRI showed a tiny cyst in my sinus, and I am awaiting blood test results. What could be causing these symptoms, and is intracranial pressure a likely possibility?

I am experiencing a variety of symptoms including body aching, fatigue, loss of smell, tremors in my left arm, hand, and shoulder, a need to constantly move, stiffness, trouble falling asleep, anxiety, depression, constipation, diarrhea, occasional visual issues, cognitive decline, and global brain parenchymal atrophy with periventricular and subcortical white matter hyperintensities. I am a 40-year-old female and have been tracking these symptoms over the past year. I have had MRIs, CAT, and PET scans, and I am currently on Effexor for headaches. What could be causing these symptoms and what further tests or treatments should I consider?

I had a lipid panel test done, and I'm unsure about some of the results, such as 'HDL not calculated' and 'VLDL low.' Can you help me understand what these mean and if they are concerning?

I am a healthy 38-year-old man. I have been experiencing a strange sensation of numbness/tingling in one spot on my upper left abdomen, just below my left ribcage. The sensation usually lasts for about a second and comes and goes all day. I am not able to go to the doctor any time soon. What could this be and should I be concerned about it potentially being related to my spleen, pancreas, or other organs?

I have been experiencing diarrhea for the past week, which comes and goes around 4-5 times a day. My appetite has decreased, and I feel more tired, but I don't have nausea, bloating, or stomach pain except before going to the bathroom. I am 19 years old and currently taking Imodium for the diarrhea. The only unusual thing I ate before the symptoms started was a couple of unwashed apples. I don't have fever, chills, blood in my stool, nausea, vomiting, or an unusual smell in my stool. I am not aware of any allergies or other medical conditions. What could be causing my diarrhea and what can I do to alleviate it?
