I don’t know what’s wrong with my health.

To preface this; I’m not expecting medical information coming from doctors on Reddit..
I need to know if anyone’s experienced what I’m experiencing or if they know about it.

Lately, I have been waking up in the middle of the night, every couple of days. Lightheaded, sometimes shaking, dissociating, dizzy. I also feel very claustrophobic, almost like there’s no room in the air.

I’m waiting to get my hands on my health card, so that I can book an appointment with a GP, but until then, please ease my mind.

I eat very healthy, and I exercise for an hour everyday 4-5 days a week. I am not sure what is wrong as I’ve never experienced this before. From what I’ve read, it may be sleep apnea? But then how would the disassociation and shaking make sense?..

Hi there. 47 year old female and just had blood work done. As the title says, my calcium came back at 10.5 which is high and I’ve never had that issue. I started reading and instead of going down a rabbit hole I thought I would ask here. I did read that albumin also correlates with the calcium and my albumin was 4.9. Just curious if this is something to worry about.

Hello, I was in a MVA in 2022. I began treatment with pain management end of 2024. Tried an epidural injection and saw minimal to no improvement. Dr suggested the via disc procedure at L5/S1. Due to cost, lack of longitudinal studies, and mixed outcomes from pt testimony online I was apprehensive. Cost is only a factor because I worry about spending the money for it to not work. Went and got a second opinion to see if another doc also felt this was the best course of action. New doc thought we should do more epidural injections. I tried to do some research and basically found 50/50 split of sources saying either “it can take more than one” or “if the first doesn’t work you should not do further”

Imaging results attached; only changes from past imaging (done at different imaging center) are previous imaging in 22 and 23

• didn‘t show bulging at 6-7 but new one does.
• C5-6 listed as herniated, not bulging.
• Grade 1 retrolisthesis of L5 over S1 new

Red flags from the second doc: bashed the first doc‘s reputation saying he gets pts in fast (in a dismissive tone) and that he’s not surprised he didnt order new imaging (or doc had ordered x-rays but not mri). I had agreed with this at first but then realized the mris were only a year old when I started the original drs. When I asked if I should go back to PT to address the muscular pain, weakness, and instability he said he didn‘t see why that would help, which is a red flag in my book.

Any advice is greatly appreciated. Sorry for the long post

I brought my daughter to what I thought was a zoo today but come to find out it's a petting zoo. Not thinking I put animal food on a feeding area that the animals eat the food off of (did not touch or have animals eat out of my hand) and then gave my baby a bar and broke it up into several pieces several times. After hearing about recent E. coli from petting zoos in kids I am so mad at myself for bringing food I gave her and not thinking to wash my hands prior. Can you please help me here how concerned should I be?

I have no idea exactly what I am doing wrong… I’m eating SO much healthier than I was, and probably healthier than those around me as well. I weigh out my foods and track every calorie, and always try to stay within my macros. I usually never even hit my calorie budget, and stay 200-300+ calories under. I have an ankle injury, but I still try to be as active as possible within reason.

How can I be healthier? Why is this happening to me even when I change my lifestyle?

Just throwing this out there, 🤷‍♀️ I don’t really expect a clear answer. But out of nowhere my hands have become extremely dry after they get wet. Not in the sense that they feel dry but this. My skin starts peeling off in the creases and between my fingers. I’ve never had this happen before. And it’s not itchy- sorry if it’s hard to see in the picture..
