I am experiencing palpitations (thyroid removed 27 years ago) off and on for the last 24 hours, some minor discomfort on sides of neck (not constant), discomfort in lower abdomen (also not constant), minor discomfort in left arm (not constant), and have been fatigued for years. I'm a pack a day smoker, approximately 198 lbs., 5'6", 57 years old. Am I experiencing 'aging' or heart attack symptoms?

I've had an ileostomy for 45 years and was recently diagnosed with Crohn's disease due to ongoing diarrhea. I developed a fistula near my stoma and have been treated with Flaygl and Cipro. My doctor wants me to start taking Humira, but I'm concerned about its effectiveness and long-term side effects. What should my course of action be?

I'm a 32-year-old female with tendonitis in my right foot from athletic overuse. What can I do to speed up recovery, and can I still train without causing further issues like arthritis? Should I continue barefoot activities once healed, and are there preventive measures to avoid flare-ups?

I have Oral Allergy Syndrome and experience mild swelling of my lips, tingling, and/or burning on my tongue when eating certain fruits and vegetables. The swelling subsides within 10-15 minutes, but the tingling/burning partially remains. My tongue feels rough and has been this way for a few days. Should I see a doctor sooner, or wait for my scheduled appointment in a week?

I am an 180lb male, 34 years old, who mostly does weight training, including leg weights once a week. I have good muscle on my upper legs but do not run at all. Recently, I started playing baseball and experienced lower leg pain after running on the ground, especially when I touch the lower leg bone. What does this mean, and do I need to run more on a treadmill to improve endurance?
