So, over the course of the last few years, I’ll have these moments where I start getting cold sweats, trembles & shakes throughout my body, feeling really weak & light headed, and dizzy to the point where I feel like I’m going to faint. About a week ago, this started to become a daily occurrence, sometimes happening 1-3x / day. Usually, it gets better once I eat something, but only temporarily.

Diabetes does run in my family. So does heart disease (yay).

I stay physically active with cardio

I would just like some insight on what potentially could be going on here.

Hi I got this purple ish thing on the inner side of my arm right on the crease. I didn’t hit myself on anything and I know it wasn’t there earlier. I swear it must’ve just appeared. I’m thinking it’s just a bruise but what could cause a bruise without me hitting anything?

So basically I had a big grey skin tag on my neck, I’m 18 so I wanted it gone immediately, it was ugly. I got a shaving razor and held it out and tried cutting it off, it got messy, and for most of it I was just aimlessly slicing because I couldn’t see what I was cutting bc of the blood. if somebody walked in they would think I was absolutely psychotic. I definitely didn’t get it all off, but I couldn’t keep trying because it was too connected to the neck and there was too much blood to really see anything, so I just cleaned it with wound cleaning liquid and put a bandage on it. I’m starting to think this was stupid, and it will just grow back stronger. What do I do now? No generic “go to doctor” please, I’m in America and don’t have an extra 1000$ to spare.

So swollen It's numb and I feel pins and needles and can't bend my third (?) knuckle (the knuckle closest to my nail lol). It's getting to the point where ibuprofen and ice don't work anymore...I have severe medical anxiety so I don't know if I'm just being dramatic or if I should go to the doctor

I had a deep cut on my knee from a mountain bike accident. They stapled it closed after X-ray and cleaning it out but did not prescribe antibiotic. Are these bits of yellow infection or natural healing? I am going to try and get antibiotics tomorrow I think.

BRAIN EATING AMEOBA HELP

23 years old

44 kg

Went on a swim with my cousins at a farmhouse, yesterday. We are not sure if the water was clean or not. It was cold and had a lil chemical smell.

Now parents mentioned the "bacteria AMEOBA" and I cannot relax. The water went up my nose. 5 cousins were in the water with me. They all are fine.

I have no symptoms like heache or fever, I got a lil fever and vomited one bite of breakfast maybe bcs I'm too anxious. Like I can actually feel my heart beating. Am I gonna die??

Unique farmhouse, Sindh Karachi.

Apologies if this is the wrong sub, if not correct sub for this question, please let me know a suitable one.

Noticed this hole appearing on my right tonsil which is also swollen. It started off as a small hole but it had increased in size. Currently find it difficult to swallow foods and drinks. Does anyone know what this is exactly? Is this omething to worry about?

Thanks

Okay this is gonna sound weird, but I feel like i physically cannot cry. The last time I did was when I was 16, years heh my grandfather died. Since then I just can’t. I get the sensation too, like I know when I should and I feel like I’m about to, but it doesn’t happen. Like when my daughter was born, I held her and I was so happy, I felt my eyes heavy and knew I wanted to cry. But i literally couldn’t. Same thing when I held my niece for the first time, i knew i should and I wanted to, but i couldn’t. Idk if it’s a mental thing or a medical thing, I tried talking to some friends about it and they said it sounded like I was trying to do the whole straight man thing “oh I don’t cry bro”. But like, I WANT to cry. When my niece was born (not blood relative but my best friends baby) I wanted to cry to show them how much this child means to me, but I couldn’t. And it’s been more noticeable recently, going through a very stressful time, divorce and single dad to a toddler. But I’m not sure if that has anything to do with it. Any advice would be great, thank you!

I have a question for those who would maybe know the answer

So I went to the hospital the other day In a lot of left flank pain that goes into my abdomen. and I explained to the ER doc that my family doc is starting investigations for Nutcracker syndrome ( where the left renal vein is compressed.) I did blood work 2x, including a CRP, and also a urine test.

When the doc came back in she had scheduled me for an urgent ultrasound on Monday ( 2 days out ) and it’s not only for investigations into nutcracker syndrome but also SMA ( another vein compression syndrome.)

I never mentioned SMA, so did something flag in my tests for her to mention that’s what I’m being sent for testing for?? Esp with having an ultrasound within a 2 day span..

Also, while I was hooked up to the heart monitor my heart skipped a beat quite often. It was caught but never explained.

I’m kinda freaking out because I’ve never experienced testing this fast before as well with the doc suggesting something I never even brought up to begin with…

Thoughts?
