Is it normal for small food crumbs like chips to stick in my throat if I have excess mucus in my throat? I had a modified barium swallow test last week with normal results, but when I swallow, little crumbs stay in my throat and cause it to feel like something is stuck, and when I bring up the mucus with my tongue, it has tiny crumbs in it.

I have a bump on my skin that has been there for about a month. It started as a pimple, but today it is deep purple/blackish and is bleeding. The bump is located on the underside of my breast, close to where the bra lining is, and there is no itching. What could this be and what should I do?

I experienced skipped heartbeats after heavy drinking and am now very anxious about potential permanent damage to my heart. Will I be okay, and what can I do to prevent this in the future?

I recently had a neuroendocrine tumor/insulinoma removed, which required a distal pancreatectomy, removing 20% of the pancreas. I am curious to know when my pancreatic function will start to normalize following the surgery and what to expect relative to BG readings and function. I went from being hypoglycemic to now worrying about being too high. What can I expect in terms of recovery and blood sugar control, and what tests or monitoring should I consider?

I stepped awkwardly into an unseen hole and semi-rolled my ankle, feeling pain on the top middle outside of my foot. The pain is a constant 3 out of 10 and is dull unless I step wrong, then it becomes sharp. There is no external injury, but there is swelling just below the ankle on the outside of the foot. Should I see an orthopedic doctor?
