I've had menstrual bleeding for about a month now, extremely heavy with bad migraines, and just now have started vomiting blood. The bleeding started light on May 4th, almost like implantation bleeding, and then got very heavy over a few days and has continued to get heavier. I was in the hospital and did an ultrasound with tissue/clots found in the uterus and was prescribed tranexamic acid, but it hasn't cleared anything up yet. I am 26 years old, have had one natural birth in 2017, and had my appendix out in 2019. I've had 2 fevers of 103.3 on 2 different days and have been taking 3 Advil's and 2 Tylenol for the pain and cramping. Could this be the end of a miscarriage?

I have a creatinine kinase level of 672 and I'm afraid I have cancer. I have no symptoms and only became concerned after receiving the test results yesterday. I'm 57 years old, on a statin, and walk 20,000 steps 4 to 5 days a week. Can my elevated CK levels be related to my exercise or statin use, and should I be concerned about cancer?

I’m struggling with a stomach issue characterized by a burning pain in my upper left abdomen, near or under my rib. The pain worsens with crunching over and improves with stretching backwards. It occurs intermittently, not every day, and has been ongoing for a few months. I have had two abdominal and pelvic CT scans, the last one about 8 months ago, which were normal. I also experience changes in bowel movements, belching, and occasional acid reflux. I take Pepcid daily. What could be causing this pain, and what tests or treatments should I consider?

I had some weird GI pain three days ago, which felt mostly like gas but then developed into bloating and discomfort. The pain has mostly gone away, but I still have some gas pressure, especially on the right side when pressed. I also had a green bowel movement, which is unusual for me. If I lay down and press on the right side, I feel a sharp pain, but no pain otherwise. What could be causing this and should I be concerned?

I feel there's a cut in my throat but when I swallow, there's no pain or discomfort. Under my chin hurts a little bit, could it be due to the cut in my throat from the chicken bone I chewed? How long will this discomfort last, and what should I do to alleviate it?
