What is my doctor looking for when scheduling an ultrasound for a small bump on my back-lower mid back, which could be a lipoma or a sebaceous cyst? The lump is not very mobile but can be moved slightly, and I have had it for 3 to 4 months with no pain or changes in color or itching. I am 77 years old and currently taking water pills, perindopril, a tiny dose of synthroid, and a statin.

What would cause a weird almost panic feeling when I move around, bend over, or lift things, followed by gas in my intestines and the need to go to the bathroom? This has been happening off and on for about 3 years. I am 79 years old, have a history of stomach issues and pelvic pain, and have had one c-section, two hysterectomies, one bladder sling, and one gallbladder removed. My colonoscopy is 3 years old.

I have been experiencing mid-cycle bleeding and hormone issues, primarily at age 30. I previously discussed the possibility of PCOS with you and have since had additional lab tests done. Can you interpret these results and advise on whether a vaginal ultrasound should be conducted to further evaluate the endometrial lining?

Will one puff of marijuana show up on a drug test, and how can I control panic attacks?

I have severe stomach pain that comes and goes, described as sharp and stabbing. My periods are delayed, and I have experienced spotting and less bleeding this time. I am 26 years old, not taking any medications, and have not undergone any tests or examinations. What should I do?

I have had constant mucus and throat clearing since I was very young, and I'm now 57 years old. I don't have other symptoms except for a persistent drip from my nose that never stops. I want to know what over-the-counter medicine can help dry up the drip and mucus. I've tried Claritin D but don't remember it being very effective. Is there anything besides Claritin D that can help?
