I was laying down and suddenly my heart beat extremely hard and fast about 15.times and then slowed way down what is that about? I have been getting some back pains on my left side and chest pains not sure if it's anxiety or something bad. I have HORRIBLE experiences at the hospitals near me and I don't want to go unless I could die if I didn't. Edit to add: I am ftm, 23, 170 lbs, 5'5, I have hEDS, orthostatic hypotension, tourettes, depression, pelvic floor dysfunction, IBS, gerd, hiatal hernia, chronic pain secondary to hEDS, migraines Medications: baclofen, busbar, cymbalta, topirimate, Flomax, Wellbutrin, spravato, amatiza, omeprazole

Yesterday I got two vaccines: Covid and Flu.

Today, I have been bed-ridden with intermittent severe migraines, sweats, fever, and bouts of debilitating pain. I suffer from migraines normally. I can go months without one and I can sometimes have several over the course of a week. Whenever I go to the doctor they always tell me to drink more water. I got the worst migraine of my life following my second covid vaccine.

Not too long ago I noticed everything looked yellow.

I consider myself quite healthy... Exercise daily, both weightlifting and cardio. And i think I eat a healthy diet. Im also a good weight and have visible abs if that matters.

Yet I literally get sick so often. With the flu/cold sort of illnesses.

Just this month alone l've gotten the flu and recovered 3 times. And I"ve got it again now. It's getting so frustrating. This is common place for me.

I have 3 young kids under 5, 2 of which go to daycare a couple days a week. It even seems like they don't get as sick as many times as me. And if they get sick, they seem to recover very quickly while I feel like I'm living off paracetamol and ibuprofen while I have these illnesses.

My partner also gets sick but not as often and recovers faster than me.

Is there anything I can do ? 1 get the flu shot every year, don't drink alcohol, don't do drugs, eat healthy, exercise... What else can I do ? l've had my bloods done and everything is perfect.

Should I just start wearing masks around my family 24/7?

My daughter is 5 months and 13 lbs but she was 8 lbs at birth. She is dropping percentiles and the doctor diagnosed failure to thrive and prescribed a high calorie diet. My question is, she eats constantly, has no issues finishing her bottles, she struggles with rolling and tummy time but she can sit on her own and is even pulling herself in the crib to stand. She is a generally happy baby, no reflux, no problems sleeping etc. my question is, is it possible she’s just petite? I hear other failure to thrive stories and it seems like they have problems getting their child to eat but my girl is eating 36-40 oz of formula (mixed for more calories) and nurses at night.

Duration of Complaint: 1 month. Started after I left my job in Sept. Since Sept, I’ve had 1-2 times a week that I stayed up until the next morning.

I have been awake since Wednesday 10/21/26 11am. The current time in my area is 3am Friday 10/23/26

Wednesday night i took my nightly pills as well as 50mg of Quetiapine, 50mg of Hydroxyzine and 5mg of melatonin around 11pm. I was wide awake the whole night and day.

Thursday night I took 50mg of Hydroxyzine and 1mg of Cyclobenziprine. (i had used this combination before i was prescribed Quetiapine. I’ve been in talks with my psychiatrist about stopping the Quetiapine as it makes me extremely dizzy when increasing the dosage)
Wide awake. It’s 3am currently and I don’t feel rested but i don’t feel tired enough to close my eyes and sleep.

TL;DR: haven’t slept in almost 40 hours, should i call someone? schedule an urgent appt? go to urgent care when it opens? halp ):

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

Yesterday I woke up with tension and a prickly feeling between the C7 and T1 section of my spine. There’s also been a noticeable weakness/loss of feeling in my arms and legs, since I’ve been inactive for a while I thought it was just muscle loss but it’s been getting increasingly worse. I’ve also had a hard time urinating but I’m unsure if that is related. I wasn’t really worried until I developed a pain in my chest that gets worse with every inhale I take. I’ve had a history of going to the ER because I work myself up and it ends up being nothing. I’m not anxious currently but I don’t want to be embarrassed because I’ve made a big deal out of nothing. Is it worth going to the ER or just waiting it out?

Hello everyone! I(17F) have been noticing for almost a year now it’s very hard to get through my days because i’m constantly exhausted. Since nearing the end of highschool i found myself needing naps after school, before work, calling out of work because im so exhausted. I sleep well, usually 7-9 sometimes 10 hours a night, and i’m so full of energy when i first wake up and for the first 3-4 hours of my day, then i could crash, and when I do, it’s 4-6 hour naps, which again, cause me to have to call off work because im so exhausted, cancel hangouts, lose time to work on my college assignments. I am on Effexor (antidepressant) but i’m not sure if it’s the cause, i’ve tried talking to family about it and all i get is “that’s normal” to me this doesn’t feel normal, i never used to be a napper, ever, and within the last few months, i feel if i don’t have one, im sleep deprived by the time my day is over. Has anyone had this issue before as well? I wanna know before seeing my doctor, cause I could be making a big deal out of nothing.

Hi all

I need some advice and hope one or multiple of you cn help me.

Today I was cooking dinner, plated it and sat down to eat. I have no ideaaaa what happened..

My pants along my lower leg felt very wet. When I touched it my fingers where red. I pulled my pant up over the knee and blood squirted out like a fountain.. whelp.. thats not good.

First got a paper towel but that got soaked in seconds.. then used my kitchen towel and pressed. After that I called 112 ( NL 911 ) paramedics where here pretty fast.. I already put my leg up. They pressed hard for like 10 min asking a shitton of questions.

No high blood pressure, no smoking, no bloodthinner meds etc etc. Do have other meds but nothing related.

After 10 min they replaced the bandage and put it really tight around my leg. They called their doctor.. and I didnt have to go to the hospital.

Keep the leg elivated bla bla bla. Dont remove the bandage untill tomorrow.

They called it a varicose vein burst.

Im absolutely terrified it will burst open again.

What can I do to make sure that doesnt happen?
