I am constantly experiencing a tight chest and throat restriction with breathing, which comes and goes. At night, I wake up breathing shallowly and feeling like my tummy muscles aren't working, causing me to feel floppy, while my back and ribs feel stiff and creak when I straighten up. I am also getting more tired with this condition. I have had ECG, EEG, X-ray, ultrasound, and a scope down my throat, all of which came back normal. What could this be?

I hear something moving in my ear. I haven't been able to clean my ear wax buildup for years because I can't see a doctor. I feel like my ear wax moves around, and I've been experiencing this for several days with no pain. I tried using hydrogen peroxide, which caused a little pain and dizziness. What could be causing this, and how can I address it without seeing a doctor?

I have been taking Deanxit since 1995 and it works well for me, but it is not available in the U.S. My psychiatrist wants me to try Nortriptyline 10 mg. Should I continue Deanxit, switch to Nortriptyline, or combine both? What are the potential side effects and how long should I wait to see if Nortriptyline works? Additionally, I am concerned about the side effects of Deanxit and the possibility of withdrawal symptoms if I switch medications.

I have been experiencing tummy aches for about a month. I am taking Bayer and have a history of intermittent tummy pains. My bowel movements seem normal, but I am eating less. I am a 53-year-old male. What could be causing my tummy ache, and what should I do about it?

I had numbness in my lower left jaw, lips, and mouth on the left side last week, which has mostly gone away except for the right side of my lips and upper mouth. I recently had a root canal on the right side, which is the same side where the numbness persists. I also have a stinging pain on my right side lip that sometimes wakes me up. I drink from plastic cups all day, smoke about 5 cigarettes per day, and am on an antibiotic. What could be causing these symptoms, and how can I determine if it's related to cancer, neuropathy, or a vitamin deficiency?
