I've been on the keto diet for 2 weeks and have been severely constipated for the past 3 days. I feel the urge to go to the bathroom but nothing comes out. I've also noticed a little bright red blood in the toilet and a lump feeling around my anus. What can I do to alleviate this?

I got hit by a car 35 years ago and have a finger-sized bruise on the back of my left skull that makes me feel uncomfortable, especially when I lay down to sleep. My top teeth tighten, particularly on the left side where the bruise is located. If I touch the bruise with my finger, it alleviates the discomfort by 80-85%. Can I get a metal plate put there?

I have been experiencing abdominal pain for about two weeks, which comes and goes. The pain is ache-like and located in the lower abdomen, sometimes on the left side, sometimes on the right, or both. I also have a history of GURD, but this pain is different. I have not consulted a doctor or had any tests yet. My stool is sometimes runny, and I often belch, which is not typical for my GURD. What could be causing this pain, and what should I do?

My roommate woke up with a horrible migraine and blurry vision. He normally wakes up around 7:30am but today he woke up closer to noon. It’s been a few hours and the headache and vision have not improved. He was diagnosed with congestive heart failure two years ago but hasn’t had any issues since then. Could this be related?

I have a swollen and tender ankle that has persisted for a few weeks. I have high blood pressure and am borderline diabetic. What could this be an indication of, and what should I do to manage it?
