I am a 36-year-old male experiencing urethral pain, especially after masturbation, which started a week ago following a brief sexual encounter involving a vigorous hand job. There is no discharge or redness. What could be causing this pain and what should I do?

I have been experiencing fast heart rate episodes, chest pain, back pain, lightheadedness, and blurry vision. I have had normal EKGs, an echo, and a stress test. I am concerned about potential heart damage or arrhythmia. What could be causing these symptoms and how can I address them?

I had a CT Chest with IV contrast. The results show gravity-dependent atelectasis in the right lung base and a rind of ground glass in the right lung base, which might indicate lung disease. There are no suspicious pulmonary masses. How should I interpret these findings, and should I be concerned about them?

I had a sonogram done and would like to discuss my results. My doctor's appointment isn't until March. I have been experiencing excessive thirst and sometimes difficulty swallowing. I had blood work done for my thyroid, and my thyroid level was normal. I'm concerned about the size of my nodule and want to know if I should try to get a sooner appointment.

I woke up earlier than usual today and feel unusually tired this evening, which is not typical for me. I've also been experiencing lightheadedness, becoming easily overworked with chest pain and shortness of breath, and my leg has been swelling at the site of a year-old injury. Is this a cause for concern, and should I be worried about a blood clot?
