I've been feeling extremely tired for weeks, and today it's worse. I'm worried it could be cancer, COVID, or a heart issue. I have my period coming in a few days, but I'm still concerned. What could be causing this fatigue, and how can I rule out serious conditions like cancer or heart problems?

I started Metformin today and have experienced insomnia, anxiety, jitteriness, mild nausea, headache, reflux, and sticky stools. I am concerned about acidosis and whether these are common side effects. Should I stop taking Metformin, and how long does it take to develop acidosis? Is it safe to take Valium and bicarbonate soda with water for these symptoms?

I am a UK citizen in Victoria on holiday. I am asthmatic and have developed a chest infection. I need treatment to prevent deterioration into bronchitis. How long have you had asthma? How old are you? Are you currently using any medications? Anything else in your medical history the Doctor should know?

I have been running a fever for the last couple of days and experiencing chills. My job requires a doctor's note for taking days off. Besides the fever and chills, do you also have a cough, shortness of breath, sinus congestion, headaches, sore throat, or any other symptoms? Do you have any pre-existing respiratory conditions, have you taken a COVID test, or are you allergic to any medications?

I experienced a sudden pain in my right groin area that almost caused me to fall. The pain feels like a pull that hurts every time I take a step. The discomfort started about a week ago but was mild and could walk without pain. At night, if I suddenly bend my leg, the discomfort is more intense. The pain is less if I sit but even to drive, the discomfort is there. Yesterday it was sharp but last night it was dull. I'm 69, very active, and take metformin, trulicity, two blood pressure meds, and Tylenol for pain relief. I'm a cancer survivor of ovarian and thyroid and take thyroid medication. What could be causing this pain and what should I do?
