I experienced severe palpitations that were the worst I've had, causing a choking sensation. I've had smaller episodes over the past two weeks. I'm 39 years old and currently taking dicyclomine and famotidine. Three weeks ago, I had steroid injections in my back. What could be causing these palpitations, and should I go to the emergency room?

I am trying to conceive and had sex around ovulation. A week later, I experienced light brown discharge for 4 days, which turned into more noticeable bleeding on the 5th day, 6 days before my period is due. The bleeding stopped after an hour. I tested negative for pregnancy, and the bleeding seems longer than typical implantation bleeding. What could be causing this bleeding, and should I be concerned?

I've experienced pregnancy symptoms for about 5 weeks now, despite having an IUD for two years and not having a period since its insertion. The pregnancy test was negative, but I'm wondering if I did it too early or if there are other possible causes for my symptoms. My periods have always been irregular, and I haven't had a period since November 2019. I'm 18 years old and recently gained a few pounds. My family has a history of fertility issues, and I had a miscarriage a few months ago, which might have been caused by the IUD. How likely is it that I'm pregnant, and what other factors could be causing my symptoms?

What other reasons could there be for missing a period (or possibly even two) besides pregnancy? My periods are usually irregular, but last month I didn't get one and I haven't had one this month. I've taken three home pregnancy tests, all of which were negative. I haven't had any symptoms of pregnancy other than the missed period. I've read that stress and changes in diet can delay periods, and I agree that I've been under a lot of stress and have been eating more fast food than usual.
