I have a history of open heart surgery due to 80% blockage in the left main artery and hypertrophy, which included radial artery grafts and an aortiomy in 2002. I have had trace mitral regurgitation and a dilated left atrium since then. Recently, a thoracic echocardiogram showed mild mitral regurgitation, a dilated atrium, and sclerotic aortic valve leaflets. I am experiencing headaches, angina, wheezing, and chest pain. What is the most appropriate test to diagnose my current condition, and what does a wellness health panel consist of?

I am scheduled to take an endoscopy on Tuesday. I also have anemia with tiredness. Is it safe to have an endoscopy?

Almost two months ago, my left shoulder between my collar bone and where it curves into my arm started hurting. I can lift my arm above my head halfway out to my side, but I can't extend it very far. For example, I have to use my right arm to close my car door, and I can't put any weight on my left arm. Sometimes my collar bone really hurts too. What could be wrong, and what can I do to alleviate the pain?

I have had non-stop nausea since April. An endoscopy showed an inflamed stomach, which is now healed, but the nausea persists. I've had every test possible with negative results. A doctor suggested an inner ear problem, but a brain scan showed no issues. I've been treated with promethazine and ondansetron, which rarely help. Why can't anyone figure out the cause of my nausea, and why have I received poor treatment from the medical profession?

I have a Grade 2 external hemorrhoid and I can't stop poop from coming out, it's thick like mud and just keeps flowing. There's no blood, but there's a lot of pain. I also feel like I have to pee but can't. Is this normal, and how long does it usually last?
