I experienced symptoms that made me unsure if I had the flu or a mild heart attack. I have always had great health, work out 6 days a week, and had a full cardiac workup 8 years ago that showed no issues. My symptoms included severe chest pains, muscle cramps in my triceps, pecs, and jaw, and a slight fever. My sternum is still sore, especially near where my abs connect to my sternum. What could these symptoms indicate?

My ESR is 42. I have had consistent pain for months, which has worsened recently, especially with changes in weather. I also have osteoporosis and have had 8-9 compression fractures. My pain seems to be more in my joints and muscles. How long have you had the pain? What seems to make the pain better or worse? Is there anything else in your medical history the doctor should know?

My 5-year-old son has had orange-colored urine today, which he says has happened before. He has no pain while urinating, is currently sick with a cold, and had a fever last night. He was on antibiotics four days ago and tends to hold his pee at school, sometimes having accidents. Should I worry about the orange-colored urine, and should I take him to the ER or wait until the weekend is over?

My boyfriend is experiencing disorientation, dizziness, shortness of breath, and fatigue after using meth, which usually gives energy. He is on blood pressure medication and refuses to go to the hospital. What could be happening and what should I do?
