I received blood test results showing low levels of vitamin D, sodium, anion gap, and calcium, along with high glucose. I have been experiencing severe neck/back pain, significant weight loss, frequent nausea, and a lack of appetite since my umbilical hernia surgery in November 2023. I am concerned about potential anemia or diabetes. What do these results mean, and what should I do next?

I eat a lot of sunflower butter to gain weight healthily as a weightlifter. Could this be dangerous, especially considering potential cadmium content? Additionally, I took a tablet of Tums (calcium carbonate) this morning and want to know if it's safe to drink 3-4 standard drinks at a social event tonight, and if there could be any interaction between the antacid and alcohol.

Are there any interactions between Lexapro and the Novavax Covid vaccine or any other vaccine? I am concerned about potential interactions due to how long medication stays in the system or chemical detoxification could be delayed. I have been planning on taking the vaccine but want to ensure it is safe with the meds I am on.

For the last few months, I've noticed that when I eat certain foods, my skin suddenly feels abnormally soft, warm, and almost sticky-greasy. Additionally, I've been experiencing weird constipation where even soft stool needs to be pushed or squeezed out. I'm concerned these could be symptoms of ALS or MND. Should I get evaluated, and what could be causing these symptoms?

I have one hard, small bump at the opening of my vagina and a slight itch. I have had unprotected sex recently. Should I be concerned?
