I was coughing and felt a pop at my right ribs. Now there is pain and soreness when I cough or if I lift my right arm and return back to neutral position. I've had the coughing for about 2 weeks, with phlegm in the morning but less by night. There's no chest or upper back pain unless I move. I'm 38 and using over-the-counter drugs like Buckley's. What could be causing this and what can I do to alleviate the pain before seeing a doctor?

I think my vagina looks like I have vaginal warts. I have a picture. How long have you had the warts? Have these been constant or something that comes and goes? Are the warts itchy? Are they a different color? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know? I am a virgin, if you think I could get it sexually.

Can you tell me the erythropoietin dose if the hemoglobin (HB) is less than 10, the patient has chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 4, and is not on dialysis? Also, should it be administered intravenously (IV) or subcutaneously (SC), and how and when should the dose be reduced?

I've been experiencing lightheadedness, dizziness, and a buzzing sensation in my head and ears. My blood pressure has been as high as 175/120 and as low as 140/99. I take medications for chronic depression and anxiety. Is my high blood pressure causing these symptoms?

Is there a reason why my eyes feel tired or strained when I go outside, and why my body feels weak and tired?

I've noticed that when I get asthma attacks, I produce phlegm. This never happened before. Does this mean my asthma is getting worse?
