Post Covid Anxiety
Hi. I'm 39 yr old male. I was tested positive for Covid in Aug last week. Was hospitalized for 12 days. Some difficulty breathing. Now I'm fine. No symptoms. Trying to get work from home. Wife is fine too. But from when I returned from hospital, I'm unable to take even little bit of stress. I get chest pain. My breathing gets shallow, palms and feet get chill and sweat. Tightness in chest. Unable to speak. In fact I'm having these symptoms even as I type this. Otherwise when I'm talking doing other things I'm fine. Very little so-called stress triggers this. This also happens when i talk about my health. In unable to sit up or do anything during those times. I feel giddy. I'm not sure if this can be treated or is this under Psychiatry section, but I need to get on with my life. Please help. Thank you.

Can rpoc pass on its own
I had a medical abortion 4 weeks back yo terminate a 4 weeks 3 days pregnancy. In the followup scan 2 weeks later, rpoc was detected though looking at the uterine size, I feel it must be minor(report attached). I was given misoprostol again and I bled some more for a week and had minor spotting a day or two after. The bleeding stopped entirely and began again after 3 days. I had no fever, pain or signs of infection all this while, in fact I could do medium intensity strength training and cardio and could still feel energetic. I suspect these are my resumed periods and I had some pain when these started. I first thought that it was infection but then the bleeding increased though its a little lighter than my usual periods but I'm having it for 2 days now.
Do I still need a tvs to ensure there's no rpoc left or since there's no sign of infection or excessive bleeding and I really feel quite fit, can I be assured that rpoc would have passed with the periods?

Masturbation habit of last 17 years
I have been masturbating since the age of 17. It has had its phases in between, it was more compulsive and 2-3 times a day when I got more free time and usually once atleast a day in the later part of my life Addiction to porn came along this. I tried to abstain and was successful for maximum of 5 days and then it relapsed. Even when I was in a relationship.
I do not have erectile disfunction or any problems like that. But I do notice a little weaker memory and inability to do strong and strenuous workouts. I have lost lot of my hair and balding. Wonder, could it ever reverse? I got some really bad advice earlier in my life that it's so normal for a boy to masturbate and watch porn and it's very normal. And the usual science facts that masturbation isn't bad for you. It certainly is. When overdone.
I am getting very worried about the side effects this must have had on my body and health which I don't know of, how can get my health back and whether all of these effects could reverse?

Suffering from Grade 3 Varicocele
From the past 5-6 years, my left testicle shows a bit weird in shape and size. It looks huge but the fact is its not the testis which is big but the veins which have grown, come down in the scrotum and got attached on the upper side of the left testis. I dont feel any pain but I am unaware of what and why this happened to me. I have gone through an ultrasound of Abdomen, Pelvis & Scrotum. All seems to be normal but the left testicle is a bit smaller in size 36 x 14mm & the right one is 43 x 16mm. Impressions are: 1. Grade 3 Left Varicocele 2. Grade 1 Right Varicocele 3. Small right Epididymal cyst 4. Mild decreased size of the left testicle 5. Normal study of right testicle. I hope there is nothing to be worried of & everything will be fine with normal medication. Eagerly waiting for a positive response in this regard. Please help me out & let me know about what needs to be done. I can send my reports to any doctor via whatsapp & also pay the consultation fees to those willing to help.

Elevated pulse rate.
I have been going thru anxiety ... Which makes breathing difficult for me and choking my throat... I have visited a senior general physician and gone thru tests ECG , 2 D echo which are normal.
She said I have anxiety and so gave me Tryptomer 10 mg.
As I gone thru the side effects of it ...it says constipation and increased heart rate amongst many others... ( I'm experiencing these two) .
I'm stuck in the fact that I have anxiety and I know it and for that I have to take trytomer as prescribed for a month. But it increases my pulse rate and sometimes bP. So I feel like not taking it...
In addition im taking subnuero b6 for nerve pain , Becosule for vit B deficiency and D supplement as prescribed.
I'm attaching the readings that I took just right now... As I suddenly started panicking and sweting and I started feeling my heart betat near my throat .
The second reading I took just after the first...and then third one after few mins..
Please do not recommend me a consultation. :)

Gut Health
I have been battling poor overall health for a long time. I have always had stomach issues. Every time I start workout I get bone or muscle injuries especially back and shoulder issues. And all this despite the fact that I am a very clean eater. I don't eat junk food except one or two meals a week. I don't eat any processed food. My sugar intake is 2 teaspoons a day (for 2 cups of tea). I don't smoke. I drink twice a month maybe. I am a reasonably active person. I have also struggled with stress and depression and that has contributed to hormonal issues (pcod). All this has led me to believe that I probably have poor gut health, may be leaky gut. Is that possible? My research has shown that L glutamine and collagen peptide supplements drastically improve gut health. Can I go ahead and take these supplements? If yes what would be some good brands.

Pregnancy issue
Hi, my wife is 34 weeks pregnant, Age:35...we had interacted with our gynaecologist. As of now things go well now doctor has suggested to do the following 1) Doctor has advised to take Susten SR 300 medicine as it is passes through the placenta so whether that would be worry as doctor has said that it need to be taken to avoid any risk of pre mature delivery as my wife has gestational diabetic and along with that there is more fluid in her uterus so doctor said that it may create some complex as my wife has fibroid as well..so whether is it safe to take medicine. In fact whether taking this medicine will help anything 2) Doctor has said that due to water volume is high in uterus hence we have to plan for early delivery i.e. in 37th Week, so whether is it safe to go for delivery in 37th Week and whether baby will be in mature stage? 3) Due to gestational diabetics whether baby's growth can be effected or whether baby can have diabetics?

Carpal Tunnel or something else? Forearm
I have had symptoms of carpal tunnel in recent weeks. It was originally on my left arm and hand but I believe I have experienced it on my right hand as well. My symptoms were not very bad recently and I had started to notice less symptoms without any treatments, besides sleeping with arm casts on both arms. I went bowling 2 days ago and I used my right hand to play, now I feel pain in my wrist, particularly where the veins are, when I perform specific actions with my right hand. It is not a constant pain I feel without action, it is only felt when I do something such as laying my hand down flat and applying pressure, I feel a pain in my wrist. I also just noticed that when I apply pressure on my right forearm with my left hand finger, it hurts the most. This pain did in fact start the day after I bowled. So I just want some reassurance it is not my carpal tunnel worsening, and maybe some options on what I should do to heal this. (Whether or not it is carpal tunnel)

Persistent tenderness in the heel
It has been over 4 months that i've been carrying this pain on my left heel. The first orthopedic i consulted diagnosed it as retrocalcaneal bursitis and prescribed ice pack along with Chymoral forte, and a pain killer. He suggested to have ultrasound therapy for 3 days.
Even after the Ultrasound and medication there was very little relief. In fact, by being conscious of the pain, my walking posture changed and i developed pain in my shin. I consulted another orthopedic (since i couldn't get to meet the earlier doc) and he diagnosed this as insertional tendonitis and prescribed T-heal for 1 month and a pain killer when required. He also gave me a sheet with exercises to strengthen my Achilles tendon. Also, suggested to use silicon pads in my shoes, which i did.
It's been over a month since, and though the pain is less severe, i am yet to recover completely. Meanwhile, i got the Uric Acid test done and it returned 6.2.
Am i having some chronic condition?

Anxiety due to relationship issues
Dating this guy for 9yrs now he had way too many ex gf's who dint stay in his past which got alot fights between us he hid the fact that he met his ex and got physical abusive when I confronted him. He's been broke most of these years finally when he got a good job he went ahead and started flirting with this girl in his office who said she likes him and he wanted to take a break from me after 7yrs saying we have issues instead of telling he wants to be with her so that flirting ended when he found out she was doing it for a bet no feelings etc and he asked me to talk to her and tell her he wasn't Interested and that I'm still his gf and he tells me he wasn't Intrested in her and I was making things up when I clearly read all their chats. He's been physically abusive in the past but now inspite of forgiving whatever happened in the past he's screaming and telling me I'm a horrible person who can't trust him we fight everyday and keep patching up only to break up again help!
