My wife, Katherine L Ressel, had surgery on 12/5/1918 to remove a malignant spot from her left upper lung lobe. She experienced pain from a drainage tube and later from her lower rib cage into her chest, which has persisted and worsened over time. Various doctors have suggested it might be a hernia, tight muscle, or scar tissue from the operation, but no treatment has resolved the pain. She also has sarcoidosis and atrial fibrillation. What could be causing this ongoing pain, and what steps should we take to address it?

I am experiencing rapid and irregular breathing, forgetting to breathe, and strong heart palpitations, especially at night. I also have anxiety and difficulty sleeping due to overthinking about health issues and world events. I have not used any medication for this and have not seen a doctor. What could be causing these symptoms and how can I manage them?

My mom had a biopsy done for a spiculated 1.5 cm mass. The results came back as cancerous. She has been complaining about bone pain recently, but she has had some bone pain in the last few years. Is it possible that the cancer has spread to the bones, and how big does a mass have to be for it to spread? Additionally, how will they check if the cancer has spread before deciding on a lumpectomy or mastectomy?

I recently had blood work done. My AST level came back at 108, ALT level at 49, and potassium level at 5.3. I also have a history of mild right renal pelviectasis and high blood pressure. I have a history of drinking too much alcohol, depression, anxiety, and anger. What could be causing these issues and what should I do?
