Intusive thought

Over the past 3 months I had panic attacks with dizziness, chest pain, fear of death. Consulted ENT, Ayurvedic, Cardiologist, then Gastroenterologist. Endoscopy showed GERD, LPR, H. pylori. Anxiety reduced after diagnosis but intrusive thoughts began (vivid dreams/images of harming self/others, “what if” scenarios). No intent, but distressing.  Physical symptoms: chest pain, right-side neck/ear pain, one-sided head pain, fatigue, numbness, detached feeling. Labs: Vitamin D very low (14.99 ng/mL), calcium 9.9, B12 injections ongoing.  Medications: Nexito 5 mg (vivid dreams), Paroxetine ER 12.5 mg + Peelar 20 mg (worsened stomach), Magnesium glycinate (helped briefly, reduced intrusive thoughts last 2 days). Quit smoking/drinking 3 months ago.  Anxiety fluctuates; stress/news/work trigger panic (latest after office fight). Still working but fear losing control. Financial strain from repeated visits.  Which Dr to visit what to do further?

Is this hernia issue

Hi My last cycle was on 27th Feb. I have been having pressure like pain in the right side pubic area since yesterday. It's like coming and going and not constant. Exactly below the lower abdomen. It hurts tender if I press. No swelling, fever or nausea. Never had this pain before. This pressure type pain hurts while walking, sitting, laying down, standing. It's like on the lower abdomen and below that. Marked on the image. I have an ovarian cyst on the left side and nothing on this side. What could be causing this type of pressing pressure like pain in the right pubic area and lower abdomen right side? I have a stress treadmill test tomorrow to evaluate my ankle swelling. I have had ankle swelling and stiffness since January. The rheumatologist said it's autoimmune arthritis. I have a high inflammation CRP and sediment rate. They sent me to cardiology to check for cardiac issues, so they ordered treadmill test. I have this pressure type pain right pubic area today. Is this hernia

Loss of body odor since taking flagyl 40

Hello. I am 5'6". 77 kg. I took flagyl 400, 3 days ago. I have been since suffering from loss of body odor and harder stools. I thought after passing 2 bowel movement drug will be out of my system and I will have no problem. But even after 2 round of bowel movement there is still no body odor . I took metronidazole 400 for 4 days and generic version flagyl 400 for 1 day since 1st one was not available. Body odor probably stopped after taking flagyl 400. Is this permanent?
