I have severe pain in the left side of my abdomen, which is constant but worsens with movement or deep breathing. The pain started around midday yesterday and has been getting worse and more localized. The pain is sharp, and I have not experienced nausea, bloating, or changes in stool. I had my gallbladder removed about 7 years ago and a partial hysterectomy 10 years ago. I am 47 years old, have anxiety, sleep apnea, GORD, and hypertension. I recently started using a CPAP machine for sleep apnea. What could be causing this pain and what should I do?

My diastolic blood pressure is consistently high, averaging 140/100 while sitting and rising to 155/136 after walking. I've experienced four hypertensive crises in the past three weeks and have called an ambulance three times. My doctor prescribed Telmisartan 40mg but did not refer me to a cardiologist. What could be causing such high diastolic readings, and should I see a different doctor or a cardiologist?

Hello. My blood work is normal except for the AST/ALT Ratio, which came back at 1.7 (normally 1 - 1.3). The individual blood results for liver indicators are within the normal range. Does this mean I should be concerned?

I have pain in the calf at the back of my lower leg for the past two days, which is affecting my ability to walk. The pain occurs when I stand for extended periods but is also present when resting. The pain feels like the muscle is tightened. I am 20 years old, not taking any medications, and have no significant medical history. What could be causing this pain, and what can I do for relief?
