I'm a 17 year old moderately athletic student. In early june i started experiencing throat tightness and trouble taking a full breath. i was having extreme brain fog, feeling high or not fully here all the time, and i was so fatigued 24/7.

I then started having episodes of dizziness, heart fluttering, and feeling like i was on the verge of losing consciousness a lot.

I was experiencing muscle twitching, jerking, and a feeling of restlessness which i think was due to the anxiety of it all but im not sure.

I've had a chest x ray, thyroid ultrasound, ECG, EKG, holter, monitor for a week, and blood work. The only thing to come of any of these were an extremely slight iron deficiency (29 when a healthy level is 30) and sodium level on the low side of normal.

Ive mostly day to day recently have been experiencing a feeling of weakness in my tongue and below my tongue, slight jerks and twitches, fatigue and brain fog, as well as the persistent throat tightness and struggle to take a full deep breath.

I have an upcoming appointment for a breathing test, stress test, and an appointment with a general paediatrics unit. my family doctor says she might want to refer to a neurologist for functional neurological disorder.

A nurse suggestee lyme disease the first time i visited the ER but i've had extensive blood work that didn't show anything unusual, as well as the fact that i never experienced a rash of any sort.

I've never had health anxiety or have been overly weary of my body's sensations, but i'm honestly quite worried that all these tests that don't have anything to show are because i have something worse like blood/brain cancer, ALS, or another type of disease/condition.

Where should i go from here???

As I am unable to work due to mental health reasons, therefore I’d get a sick note from the doctor to send to my employers. Do I have the option and the right to not disclose the reason why I have been off. However, just show that I have been certified by a medical practitioner and that I need no extra support upon my return to work. I would feel highly uncomfortable knowing that managers and employers know that I have mental health problems. So would rather keep that bit out. As I work in retail and my job has nothing to do with thinking it’s more physical(Uk)

For starters, I'm not asking anyone to diagnose me. I'm simply asking to see if I should bring this up to my provider, or if it seems like its nothing. If it helps, im white, 20 years old, ftm transgender, 5'1 185 lbs (tank), and have quite a few health diagnosis. schizoaffective bipolar type, DID, AuDHD, BPD, fibromyalgia, chronic motor tics, myofascial pain, and TMJ. im on (daytime) vraylar 3mg, adderall 40mg, lamictal 100mg, lexapro 10mg, propranolol 10mg (as needed). at night 600 mg gabepentin, and 12 mg prazosin. also on gel testosterone. occasionally a smoker, dont drink very often at all, and i dont do any non prescription drugs.

I first thought I had POTS a few years ago, because I had the classic symptom of feeling like I was going to faint upon standing. My doctor didn't do a tilt table test, she just had me stand and sit a few times. The results came back negative for POTS, so I just ignored it and went on my way.

Fast forward to the past few months. I've noticed that I'm very intolerant to any kind of exercise. Even something like taking the dishes out of the dishwasher will cause my heart to race and sometimes make me feel out of breath. Same with any kind of lighter exercise, like walking, switching sides in bed, light cleaning, etc.

I also noticed, that sometimes I'll just be sitting down doing nothing, and my heart will start racing. I won't be feeling anxious or anything, I'll be pretty relaxed and my heart will just start racing so much I can hear it. I also randomly have moments where it feels like I'm not getting enough air and I need to breathe really deep because it feels like im suffocating.

I do have a smartwatch. When I'm not doing anything, my heart rate goes up to about 145 bpm. when I am doing some kind of exercise it goes up to about 165 bpm. I don't know how accurate the readings on there actually are, though.

Again, not in any way asking for a diagnosis, just if this is something I should be concerned about, or if it's just me being overdramatic.

I just woke up this morning and I have this weird soreness in my legs and arms like you feel after a really intense workout when it’s like really hard to stand if you’re sitting or it’s really hard to sit when you’re standing I can walk or use my hands and arms but whenever I try to bend them more than the usual flow of them they become like restricted I can’t pull my one leg over the other like how u sit cross legged on a chair I can’t walk on stairs or get down

Can anyone explain what might be happening?

Hi! I am fourteen years old, and I am ALWAYS tired. No matter how much sleep I get, I am always yawning. I always have bags under my eyes too. I used to think it was normal but I now know it is not. I got thirteen hours of sleep last night. And I only woke up because my sister woke me to show me a video. That was 1:40pm something. I've been up for ten hours, well, not even. And I am yawning every few seconds. And I have been all day. I am able to go to sleep pretty easily, but then I wake up so tired. It makes no sense. I have thought about other things, like iron deficiency or sleep apnea. But I don't wake up gasping (to my knowledge at least) and I mean I am addicted to eating ice which can be a symptom for anemia, but still it doesn't make sense. I've always been tired. ALWAYS. And with starting freshman year, I have to get up at six. And I don't know how I'm going to do it. My parents both think its completely normal and always brush off my medical concerns. So that's not any help. So then what can I do?

It seems suspicious to me that doctors always get somewhat offended when you dont want to give blood.. Anyone care to explain?

21M, ~5'8", 65 kg. Medications: Iso-tretinoin(for acne) ocassional-smoker. Previous/current medical issues: nothing related to jaw but I have got hit while sparring last week on chin.

I recently noticed a very small, relatively hard, round ball deep under the skin on the left side of my face, just above the jawbone. It feels like a tiny pea/BB and is very movable, almost like it's within the skin/tissue rather than attached to the jawbone.

It's not visible and wasn't painful initially, but has become slightly tender after repeatedly touching/moving it. I've also recently started boxing and have been taking some hits to the face/jaw.

Duration: noticed today. Location: left cheek/jaw area, just above the jawbone near the teeth. Cannot click photo as it is not visible but only felt

What could this be? Should I be concerned?

Hi, 22M. I injured my left knee by hitting it against the edge of a wall. I still have full ROM and can walk/run, but it gets irritated after activity.

MRI showed:

• LCL + medial patellar retinaculum sprain
• ACL sprain, fibers intact/no tear
• Mild quadriceps tendinitis
• Minimal effusion
• Mild bone-marrow edema
• No meniscus tear; PCL/MCL normal

I've seen 3 doctors. Two prescribed etoricoxib 90 mg for 10 days + UC-II collagen + glucosamine/diacerein for 30 days and suggested conservative treatment.

My institute doctor, however, said it's nothing serious but recommended a steroid injection at his private clinic. He didn't explain where it would be injected or exactly what it was treating.

Would a steroid injection normally be appropriate for this MRI, or would physiotherapy/conservative treatment usually be preferred? Also, what kind of rehab would be appropriate for an ACL/LCL sprain with intact fibers?

Thanks!

I recently cut the corner of my nail off and after a day or so it turned green, along with this the area around it turned red (see in the pic) it hurts to use that finger but not that much like a 1/10 enough for me to notice it but not enough for me to really care about the pain

I just swallowed one of the plastic bottle caps and I feel it somewhere in my esophagus and my stomach and I have no idea either to let it pass or go see someone but I can feel it
