I have had fast heartbeats twice in a week. I have atrial fibrillation (afib) and am nervous about it, but I think I've only been in afib once. I had afib about 3 years ago but nothing since. My Kardia mobile recently showed an 'unclassified' reading, which scared me. I have anxiety and a bad stomach. What should I be concerned about?

My son hit his upper arm (below shoulder) on a wall while playing basketball. He can do everything except throw a ball because it’s too painful. What could be wrong and what should we do?

I had a surgery to remove large fibroids, but I'm struggling to understand why it was considered urgent when the fibroids weren't causing any problems. Now, I'm experiencing urinary incontinence, sexual and bowel dysfunction, aching hips, all-over pain, weight gain, and depression. What could have been the urgency for the surgery, and is there any risk of complications from leaving the fibroids to shrink naturally at menopause?

I feel lightheaded and lightweight, like my body is running low on energy. After I eat, I feel better after about 20 minutes. What could be the reason for this?

I am a 57-year-old woman who recently experienced vomiting, multiple bowel movements, and a massive nosebleed, along with ongoing nausea and a headache. I take Effexor, Valium, Ventolin, and have recently started Otis 6. I also experience occasional hot and cold sensations but no dizziness or trouble breathing. How should I manage these symptoms?

I have excruciating pain in my right ear since Thursday. I've been taking Tylenol, Advil, and amoxicillin-clavulanate, and using cefotaxime drops. The pain is constant and sharp, especially when lying down. What should I do next?
