I am losing weight very fast and have been diagnosed with pre-diabetes. What will my health status be in the future if I continue to lose weight? I am 56 years old, currently weigh 150 pounds, and have lost 35 pounds over the past 4 years. I also have cholesterol issues. Will I survive, and what advice can you give me?

If one hears that their gene causes '1.4x increased risk of cancer,' what does it mean? Is it 40% or even 140%?

I have had mild burning in the stomach for about 5 days, coming and going. Bowel movements and appetite are normal. The pharmacist has given me reflux treatment, but it's not helping and seems to be worse a few hours after eating. I take Seretide Accuhaler daily and have recently taken minor amounts of Voltaren for an inflamed shoulder, but not for the past 5-6 days. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I'm on vacation with 7 other people, and I've had full ears, a mild sore throat, and a persistent deep cough for about a week. I've tried using a Netti pot, taking Allegra D and Mucinex Day, using clorosrptic sore throat spray, Riccolla cough drops, and even maxed out my dosage of Equate COUGH DM cough suppressant. Despite all these efforts, nothing seems to be helping. What can I do to alleviate my symptoms?

I've been experiencing random warm/burning sensations over the past three days on various parts of my body, including my scalp, forehead, forearms, and back. I had my wisdom teeth pulled several months ago, and the right side of my face where they were removed seems to be acting up. I also have a history of back pain and digestive issues. What could be causing these sensations?
