I was laying on my back reading, then rolled over to my stomach on my knees. When I lifted my head, I heard rushing in my ear and felt pressure on the left side of my face and head for about 20-30 seconds, followed by panic. I am currently not experiencing symptoms. Could this have been a stroke, and what symptoms would indicate a stroke?

I am a 68-year-old woman with a hepatic cyst measuring 8cm x 6cm that is causing constant pain. It was first detected in 2010 and has grown over the years. I have been hospitalized twice for this issue, and rest, antibiotics, and pain medication have provided relief. Greasy foods and stress aggravate the pain. I am obese, have varicosity, diverticulosis, and glaucoma. What are my options for managing or removing this cyst?

I fell off a curb a week ago and have been experiencing sharp pain under my left breast, sometimes feeling like a golf ball is in my bra. The pain wakes me up at night and makes it difficult to lay on my left side. Should I seek an x-ray or what?

Would a septated gallbladder cause dull colic-like pain in the right upper to right mid quadrant? The pain has been on and off for a few years, and an abdominal ultrasound showed a septated gallbladder. Heavy foods like bread and pasta seem to exacerbate the pain. An endoscopy in the past showed chronic inactive gastritis. Should I be taking Prilosec for the gastritis, and is the pain likely related to the gallbladder?
