I have taken two negative pregnancy tests and haven't had a true period since February 29. I am not using contraceptives, take multivitamins, and exercise moderately. I have a history of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) but have had regular periods for the last four years. My blood work showed only estradiol at 424 on May 1, which dropped after spotting for seven days, and all other hormones, including thyroid, were within range. What could be causing my period to be delayed or missing?

I have recurring nausea that is connected to sleep. Any disruption in my sleep pattern results in bad nausea all day, affecting my quality of life. I've tried Zofran and over-the-counter nausea medicines, but they don't help. The nausea isn't related to digestion or food. I have an IUD and have seen a doctor who prescribed Zofran and a sleep aid, but I prefer not to take sleep aids. What can I do to treat the nausea?

I have been experiencing sinus burning since November 2nd, with pain, redness, and crustiness in my nostril. I completed a round of antibiotics in December, which relieved some sinus pressure but did not eliminate the symptoms. Recently, I found a swollen, pea-sized lump under my jaw, possibly a lymph node. Could this be related to my sinus issues? I have an appointment with an ENT, but I'm experiencing health anxiety about this being something serious. What are your thoughts?
