Medrol usage

I have been prescribed medrol (16mg twice at night for 7 days). As I had a case of tinnitus. And the sound changes when i press my cheek area. Maybe bec of nerve issues. I actually want this tinnitus to go away so damn badly bt at d same time afraid to take medrol after reading abt ao many side effects :|. 1. I am not hypertensive. 2. I'm not diabetic. 3. Didnt check for blood sugar yet. 4. Have a history with anxiety. Also from last week I'm having a dull ache when i press below my right bottom rib, i am afraid something to do with kidney. Its only felt when i touch that area. So, my question is, should starting medrol under the above mentioned conditions will be alright? And is 32mg a higher dose? And another thing does it need to be tapered or i can stop it after a week's usage? And can I go to my office(I'm a corporate trainer btw) without any hassle? Please let me know so I can start the course asap! I'm afraid more about the side effects :(.

Is this chest pain serious?

Hello Doctors, I am suffering with chest pain (right side and ribs) and in the middle of upper abdomen that comes and goes for almost an hour since around a month. While this pain occurs, i feel very anxious and stressed. My weight is 93kgs and height is 5'6", I contacted cardiologist to get some tests done to eliminate heart related issue, cardiologist confirmed all good with heart. Got my stomach ultrasound scan too, all looked fine. Doctor's have been prescribing me betablockers and stomach ulcer / digestion related drugs, but this hasn't been helpful much. Personally, when gas gets released out of my body, i feel better. I am not sure if its GERD/Angina, About to contact stomach specialist in few days now. Can someone please help me understand why this is happening. As this is happening around since a month, also cardiologist confirmed not related to heart based on tests (ecg/treadmill run test), so wondering what could be this. Please help, i am really strssed out.

Fungal pneumonia

I may be suffering from severe fungi infection. One of the signs​ I have is dryness and irritation in my inner thigh. My scrotum is always itchy. Someone suggested It might be Jock itch which is a yeast infection. I've had this condition for years now and I've often overlooked it. 2 years​ ago I started having other complications such as cold intolerance, dryness of skin( which I assume is due to lack of oxygen), pain around my ribs, fatigue, weight loss and exhaustion, constant headache, red eyes especially at nights​, blue lips and skin. I can't withstand cold or fan, I can hardly concentrate, diarrhea, shaking chills. I ran a few test such as urinalysis, widal test, glucose, HIV, chemical pathology, thyroid function test, complete blood count CBC, Liver, all these test showed am healthy​. One particular sign​ is yellowish mucus and sometimes bloody​ mucus when I have flu and rashes around my ears. It also seems like my immune system is really down. Kindly advice me on what to do

Low Bone Mass? Osteoporosis? Or cancer

I am asking on behalf of a friend who refuses to see a doctor. Some of the details of the subject: - in her early 30s. Height: 155-160cm. Weight:53-60KG - has celiac diseases & Polycystic Ovary Syndrome - takes a lot of pain killers during migraine & menstrual times - last blood test shows a high amount of hormone level (i forgot if it's estrogen or progesterone) - doesn't really take proper meals and take gluten stuffs a lot even with celiac diseases Anyways, the story is she has been having pain in the bones (starting from the legs) for about 6 months now. And then it starts going to the ribs and sometimes she said she feels in the whole body. It happens randomly. While I believe that it could be due to her hormone imbalance and insufficient nutrients that speeds up osteoporosis or low bone density, she believes that it's bone cancer and refuses to consult professionals. So my question is what is the situation? What are the possibilities?

Stomach and digestion issue

I have pain in my stomach just below the left rib. It feels like something is tightly stuck or gripping inside, and sometimes it feels like something is moving there, which causes severe pain. My stomach is never properly clear, and I often experience incomplete bowel movements. Sometimes, there are unusual sounds coming from my stomach. This problem has been there for a very long time (around 20 years). I drink a good amount of water, but even after drinking water, something comes back up from my stomach, like a foamy substance (similar to when we mix detergent in water). I avoid oily food. I practice yoga, eat fruits, and consume normal home-cooked meals. Another issue is that my weight is around 60 kg, but I look thin compared to my weight. I also have dark circles, wrinkles, and a lot of pigmentation on my face. I feel tired most of the time. I have consulted many doctors and taken almost all types of medicines for constipation and gastric problems, but problem is still the same.
