I hit my head on a shelf about an hour ago. There is a little swelling and pain, but not when I touch it. I'm 24 years old, female, and not on any medications. I'm worried about a concussion or something more serious. I experienced a hard blow, no headache, but some dizziness when I walk, which I'm unsure if it's from the blow or my anxiety. I have a tiny bit of nausea but no blurred vision. What should I do?

I have a lump on my neck that has been the same size, not itchy, and not a different color than my skin. I also have a severe cough that sometimes makes it hard to breathe. I'm 19 years old, not on any medication except Benylin for a cold, and have no other significant medical history. The lump appeared after my cough started. Is the lump related to my cough, and what can I do to manage both conditions?

I had severe pain and swelling after the second gel injection (Boylan G-F 20 (SYNVISC)) into the right knee. This is the fourth time I've had the 3 series of injections every 6 months. Should I cancel my third injection?

What does high cholesterol and triglyceride levels mean for my health, and how can I address gastrointestinal issues, weight gain, and the potential impacts of supplements and hormonal contraception?

I have experienced a 1-day sickness every few years that includes body aches, light fever, sweats, chills, and lightheadedness. The symptoms are consistent and intense for one day, followed by extreme lethargy. I manage the body pain with Robitussin and aspirin. I am 31 years old and not on any other medications. There is no significant medical history other than this recurring issue. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I've been spitting up blood in my phlegm for a week, and it's now almost brown mixed with yellow mucus. I have a little cough, no chest pain, and a slight headache. I'm 23, with no known medical issues except occasional gastritis and frequent sinus infections. I vape and recently had rough sex where my boyfriend choked me hard, causing a sore neck. I'm worried about lung cancer or something serious. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
