I'm borderline Type 2 diabetic. After eating, I get a headache and feel really sleepy about 30-40 minutes later. I'm currently on Metformin and Jardiance to help lower my A1C. Is this a normal response, and are there any dietary suggestions to help manage this? Additionally, my mom and both sisters have thyroid issues, and my youngest daughter is being referred to an endocrinologist for possible thyroid issues. My blood work for thyroid comes back normal, but I have similar symptoms to my sister. Is it possible to have thyroid issues despite normal bloodwork, and if so, what tests should I ask for?

My ear hurts. The pain started today and comes and goes. It is sharp and only on the right side. I took Tylenol and I am 28 years old. I had a fever last night and have a sore throat. I had congestion in the morning, which comes and goes. I tested negative for COVID but have not taken a flu test. I am not allergic to any medication and have no other medical conditions.

I have lung cancer and recently had a biopsy to check if my lymph nodes are infected. I am 46 years old and not currently using any medications. I had a PET scan that showed a tumor in the middle of my lung by the airway, but the lymph nodes did not light up in the scan, though they are swollen. I want to know what will happen if my lymph nodes are infected with cancer and what treatment options are available if surgery is not possible.

I have been experiencing stomach pain, bad back pain, and a fever, with my stomach becoming enlarged. The back pain started yesterday and is constant, and the stomach pain is in the lower left quadrant. I have had my appendix removed. What could be causing these symptoms and should I go to the hospital?

How long does it take for a rash to fully spread until it stops, and how can you determine if it's affecting your neck or throat?
