I've been sick for a week with body aches, low-grade fever, sore throat, and a cough that has turned into a dry, persistent cough. I can't get air through my throat, and my chest and lungs feel fine, but when I cough, my throat feels like it's closing up, and I start gasping for air. The cough is constant but worse at night, making it hard to sleep. I'm not taking any medications, but I had a Myers cocktail with extra vitamin C recently. I'm 53 years old and have never experienced this before. I also have a swollen gland on the left side of my throat that I've had for almost a year. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

I received a letter from my doctor suggesting I go for a scan, and someone else recommended I see a specialist. They mentioned it could be my appendix. I have pain in my right lower side stomach that sometimes spreads up or all over my stomach. The pain comes and goes, starting last Thursday. It's a sharp pain, especially when I move quickly, and I feel very uncomfortable. I haven't been given any medication, just a letter to go to the hospital for a scan. I'm a 25-year-old female with symptoms including fever, loss of appetite, and sometimes nausea after eating.

I have high cortisol levels and high prolactin levels, along with symptoms such as back pain, testicle pain (which comes and goes), nipple pain (gynecomastia), fatigue, and no energy. What could be wrong with me, and what further tests or treatments should I consider?

I have a middle ear infection and swollen lymph nodes. I recently had an ultrasound and am concerned about the results. Should I be worried about malignancy, and should I consider a biopsy?

I want to know if my girlfriend could be pregnant. She had a period two to three weeks ago, took a pregnancy test that was positive, and we had unprotected sex on Saturday. Her mom tried to get a pregnancy test on Tuesday, but it seems too early. She also had cramps on Sunday. Can you help determine if she's pregnant?
