My spit is really thick like glue, and my phlegm is the same. It has been this way for years. My doctor started me taking Mucinex several years ago, which helps, but it gets thicker every year. I quit smoking 2 1/2 years ago, but it didn't help. I have fibromyalgia, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, and am immune deficient. What could be causing this thick phlegm and what can I do about it?

I recently experienced a nosebleed while blowing my nose at work. It was brief and I have sinus pain on the side where the nosebleed occurred. Given the high humidity and potential allergy triggers, what is the best aftercare to prevent another nosebleed? Should I avoid certain activities like walking or blowing my nose for a certain period?

I have been taking Metformin for 45 days, 2 500 mg tablets a day with meals. I am experiencing significant digestive upset, mostly gas production that cannot be released, causing discomfort. I am already taking simethicone. Are there any recommendations for stomach relief that do not affect the kidneys?

I have recently been diagnosed with a developmental venous anomaly (DVA) on my right cerebral hemisphere centered in the basal ganglia. I have no symptoms and my favorite pastime is weightlifting. Will continuing to weightlift affect my DVA, and am I at risk?
