Slight Breathlessness and Cough

I'm 25 year old and I have don't have an active exercise filled life. I weigh around 100kg which made me worrisome. I started of with brisk walking for about 1. 5km and brought it up to 3km in 2 weeks. 3 days back  I have been observing that I feel slightly out of breath at rest. Even a slight chest discomfort. I have this cough at times with frothy kind of phlegm. Sometimes it hurts when i cough. Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it if I take deep breath right side of my chest hurts a little and sometimes it doesn't. I always wake up with stuffy nose /runny nose or phelgm in the morning which reduces by noon. I visited the physician and after listening with stethoscope he said lungs are clear and probably due to allergies he gave me citrezine tablets. There's no change in the symptoms I described earlier. What should I do? My BP is always in the range of 120 to 130/80 on BP Monitor at home.

Ankle sprain (soft tissue injury)

Dear Sir/Madam, It's been 7 months since i twisted my right ankle (while landing after a jump) when I was playing badminton. MRI scan report taken after a month post injury said I had grade 1 and grade 2 ligament tears and micro fractures in talus bone. Visited a couple of orthopedics who suggested me to wear an ankle binder , keep ice packs and prescribed collagen tablets . Swelling has come down by almost 90% but I keep getting on and off pain and a feeling of discomfort while walking especially on any uneven surface and while doing strengthening excercise. Last week I have taken six sessions of physiotherapy as well which included cold laser, IFT, short wave diathermy and ultrasound but to no much benefit. As I badly want to get back to sports what should I do  ? 1) Should I have gotten a cast right after injury instead of an ankle binder? 2) Why is it taking so long to completely recover. Is it because the ligament tear has not healed properly? 3) How much walking is recommended?

Urethral itch and discharge

In the past 4 weeks I had some itches (especially when rubbed) at the inside of my urethral pipe along my penis, plus slight discomfort when urinating at certain times. Swab test done showed Escherichia coli growth with sentivity for levofloxacin amongst other antibiotics. At the beginning of the medication course with ciprofloxacin and doxycycline it felt like the itches had subsided. However on the 8 day of the 10 days course I notice I had begun to discharge pus from my penis. This was little at first but began to worsen as the days went by. A second test this time from a swab of the discharge 4 to 5 days after the end of the antibiotics course have been confirmed to show a fungi growth and no presence of bacteria. I am currently on the 3rd day of 5 for treatment with fluconazole 200mg and Ornilox tablets but it appears the pus is just getting worse as I seem to now have the discharge through the whole day which instead of just at mornings at the beginning. Is this normal?

Posterior vitrwous detachment

Although PVD is an oldage disease,my doctors told me myopia can sometimes accelerate it in late twenties though its rare. He told me if im not seeing flashes very frequently i will be fine and PVD happens to everyone and is a part of aging. My question is 5 months have past with not much disturbance. Should not the process be over by now. I have read it only takes a few weeks though who am i to know anything about opthalmic anatomy and physiology. Am i still under some risk of retinal pathology. If yes then what. I still face minor discomfort now and then and freak out immediately, even though they dont seem.like flashing. Can someone tell me that how long does it take for PVD to run its course and the condition to stabilize. Will i forever live under the risk of flashing and retinal tears. Im scared all the time, keeping eyes closed whenever i can given i am a software professional. What am i gonna do, im just 26 with -2 power. PLEASE PLEASE HELP, IM GOING PSYCHOTIC...

Dull Pain in left testicle and groin

I get very dull pain in my left testicle occasionally. It stays for a second and goes. It comes randomly. I have this since 2 years. I can give 3 marks out of 10 to pain according to its severity. Once if it starts, it keep triggering randomly in 1 to 10 minutes difference. And stays for about an hour to 2 days. I can feel it if I am laying, standing, sitting sometimes it reliefs after passing gas sometines I feel during cough or heavy breath and sometimes I don't feel at coughing or breathing.. It comes and goes by itself, cant make it pain on my own. I checked my testicle size, both seems same, but left one is hanging about 2cms below right one. There was never inflammation or pain if I touch or lift both testicles with palm. I tried to feel the veins of both testicles, no lump or pain or discomfort observed after touching it. After seaeching on Internet I found a medical condition called vericocele, but I am not sure if it is same or not as I don't have exact information about it.
