I’m having lower abdomen pain that started yesterday. The pain intensifies and then becomes a lower pain but is still present. It has also started on my left and right side in my mid back and has moved to the front. The pain is sharp and almost like stabbing. I did have pancreatitis last year but it doesn’t feel like in the same place. I can't stop throwing up. I'm 28, female, and the pain is in my lower stomach and sometimes in my mid back on both left and right sides. I don't have any urinary symptoms. I just ended my last menstrual cycle a week ago.

My mom started experiencing insomnia about a year ago and now she gets anxious and has a bad mood when she thinks she may not be able to sleep at night. She also has symptoms like dizziness, lightheadedness, low energy, low mood, difficulty controlling thoughts, anger, and difficulty concentrating. She has a history of dementia in the family and has been referred to a psychiatrist but didn't want to take medications. She has high blood pressure and takes meds for that, and recently started taking statins for cholesterol. Is it likely that she is depressed, and what treatment options would you recommend?

I woke up with a swollen epiglottis and difficulty swallowing. I have been using throat spray and am unsure if it's safe to eat. What should I do?

I have a small movable spot underneath the skin in my left ear canal. The cartilage on my left ear feels stiffer than the right, and the spot feels firmish and rolls when pressed. My hearing is normal, and I haven't had any symptoms like ringing. What could this be?

I've been experiencing left chest tingling/numbness/burning pain, left upper back tingling/burning pain, and left arm numbness/tingling, along with lightheadedness. I'm worried this could be related to my heart. I've had multiple EKGs, an echo in October, and a stress test last week. What could be causing these symptoms, and how can I manage them?

2 days ago, I fell and landed on my left elbow, followed by my right elbow. Now, my left forearm hurts when I use my left hand or arm. Could I have broken or fractured my arm? The pain is a constant dull ache when not in use, but sharp when I try to use it. I am 63 years old and taking Ibuprofen for the pain. Is there any swelling, bruising, or issues with blood flow to my wrist and hand? Do I have a history of osteoporosis?
