My son has a rash that started 2-3 weeks ago on his lower right back/hip area. The rash is itchy, slightly swollen, and has not improved with steroids, antibiotics, and cortisone. What could be causing the rash and what treatment options are available?

I had a halter monitor on and it said I had some R on T PVCs. I’m 53 years old with a history of afib, CAD, and high blood pressure. What are R on T PVCs, are they dangerous, and how can they be treated?

I have persistent sensations in my muscles that I initially thought were paresthesia, but I'm not sure if that term covers deep muscle sensations. I'm concerned about the possibility of ALS or other neurological diseases, and I'm also wondering if my current medications (SSRIs like Lexapro and Clonopin) could be causing these sensations. Additionally, I'm questioning the diagnosis of restless legs syndrome given by my neurologist, as it doesn't seem to fit my symptoms. What would your diagnosis be, and are there any tests you would recommend?

I'm 18 years old and experiencing constant and intermittent sharp chest pain that sometimes causes my arms to tingle and go numb, along with lower back pain on the left side that radiates down my leg and foot, making it hard to walk. I've had an X-ray and blood test at urgent care, but they didn't find the cause and suggested it might be a pulled muscle. My mother doesn't seem to take my symptoms seriously. What should I do?

Could I have a catabolic distress problem, and what can I do about it? I may have had the problem for decades but just found it on the net. I am 63 years old, using medications for mental illness, and have neurotransmitter and kidney problems. My muscles seem fine, but I have taken amino acid supplements that helped with my symptoms.

How many eye floaters are 'too many'? I’ve been a little worried about my eyes. I am 21 years old, have no other medical conditions, and take no medications. I noticed some floaters today while driving, which looked like black specks and went away with a few blinks. I need glasses and have always had blurry vision and astigmatism in my right eye. I also suffer from extreme health anxiety and have been experiencing eye pain, especially when waking up, and occasional vertigo, headaches, and ear ringing.
