I’m a 38-year-old male, 6’3”, 285lbs, ex-smoker, leading an active life. I have been experiencing pain in my upper left chest, left shoulder, and left upper back for 3 days. The pain seems to move around and is not in the center of my chest. It feels like a soreness but cannot be recreated by pressing on it. I have no shortness of breath or nausea, and I haven’t lifted anything heavy or caused any injury. I’ve had a full cardiac workup in the last 8 months, including a nuclear stress test, EKG, ECG, 48-hour Holter monitor, cardiac ultrasound, and chest X-rays, all of which showed only frequent benign PVCs. I’m concerned about a cardiac issue despite the test results. What could be causing this pain?

I am experiencing hot itching on my neck and face, which is increasing with each dose of Zanidip, a blood pressure medication. I am also taking Averpro 300, Crestar 10mg for cholesterol, and Oroxidne 100mg for thyroid. My blood pressure is currently 168-86. How should I manage this allergic reaction and my blood pressure?

I have had on and off discomfort in my abdomen for a few weeks, with a new sense of urgency to go to the bathroom and a fullness on the right side. Could this be pancreatitis, colitis, or a stomach bug? Should I go to the ER?

My sister has been experiencing worsening symptoms of a kidney infection for two months, including back pain and passing large blood clots during her period. She has refused to see a doctor but her condition has recently substantially worsened with vomiting, severe cramps, and excruciating back pain. Should I insist she visit an ER immediately, or can it wait until she can visit an urgent care center tomorrow?
