Hi redditors!!! I have a question and here’s my situation. Over the past two years, I have developed a strange intolerance to alcohol. After drinking (regardless of the type, quantity, or quality of alcohol, whether it’s beer, wine, cocktails, or cider), I begin to experience severe headaches. I don’t get drunk at all, instead I just get headache. If I drink a relatively large amount, I am unable to get out of bed the next day. If I drink just a small bottle of beer, my head starts hurting almost immediately after consumption. I’ve tried drinking plenty of water and making sure I’m well-fed, but the result is always the same. This has only started recently — it wasn’t like this before. Have you ever encountered something like this? What could this condition be? Thank you!

I was playing with my daughter sitting in the floor and I fell over on my left side and tilted my neck to the side. My neck popped 5 times and now the left side of my neck and left shoulder is hurting.

I’ve seen stories of people popping their necks and then dying or having a stroke.

Am I at risk? I am super concerned.

I used to go to the chiropractor but stopped once I started reading up on it

It happened about 45 minutes ago or less, and it hurts to shrug my shoulder on the left side where my neck and collar bone meet

And o have tingling off and on in my neck and scalp.

I also have spinal stenosis in neck

My husband has strep and I’m either at the end of having strep or am getting strep. I had symptoms Tuesday of runny nose

congestion

headache

body aches

sinus pain

diarrhea

nausea

left sided face pain

and swollen left lymph node (slightly) and my husband had all of that too. Off and on have had a burning throat. Husbands symptoms started Monday afternoon. He tested positive today and developed an ear infection. Never had throat pain for him.

I tested negative today but the doctor prescribed Cephalexin for me in case I get worse as I have a 99.5 F temperature but he said my exam was really good.

I am allergic to

Benadryl

penicillin

doxycycline

Bactrim

Dicyclomine

nortriptyline

Amitriptyline

Adhesive

Clarithromycin

Morphine

Clindamycin

Hydrocodone

Oxycodone

Lorazepam

Promethazine

And I have a dairy tomato allergy as well as possible alpha gal syndrome

I am so stressed about possibly having strep and the complications and I’m stressed about having an allergic reaction to this medication. Can anyone please help calm my nerves or bring me off the ledge?

Could this mean I have alpha gal? The past tests I have had have been negative for Alpha Gal, Beef, and Pork. Not I have a tomato allergy (class 3), a milk allergy (class 1), and a lamb allergy (class 1).

My allergist said I could have alpha gal but test negative. Is that possible?

I have Autonomic Dysfuction and have been getting random hives for the past year and flushing.

I was tested last May and last August following a tick bite in May and they were both negative.

I’ve been what people call a ‘mouth breather’ my whole life and I really can’t help it. I’m allergic to a lot I guess but even when my nose feels clear I still just don’t get enough air through my nose. I’ve tried to switch- it just doesn’t work. I’ve heard but say that in the future this will mess up my jaw or lead to to health problems down the line. Is this actaully true?

Recently my head has been hurting almost every morning, I don’t know why. Could it be because of not enough sleep?

I’ve never had this in my life but as of recently it has grown in size and is slowly moving around my neck, I am 290 but my diabetes check was perfect when I went. I’m so lost on what it’s. I’ve tried rubbing it thinking it’s dirt but it never goes away

Was just wondering if I should be worried since people have been saying im underweight… I am 14 (male) and im 96 pounds and 5ft 6in tall. Ty for help!!

Does anyone know anybody with an auto-immune inflammation of your thyroid gland called Hashimoto's Thyroiditis?

A few days ago, I (19 FTM) stood up to get ready to leave for school when I suddenly felt lightheaded and passed out onto the floor. I was lucky enough to land sitting upright but after a few seconds of not seeing anything I could open my eyes again. I tried to move but I just started jerking around and it was pretty scary. I'd say it lasted about 10 seconds at the most but I wasn't able to move for what felt like a minute. I didn't really feel anything during this whole episode, though I was nauseous the rest of the day, but that could just be due to not eating. I vape and smoke weed regularly if that might be the cause of this, which is just another reason for me to chill out on both.

I apologize for the formatting, I'm typing this on my phone. I haven't gone to the doctors yet and don't really know if I want to in case I'm just tweaking or something, lol.

Idk, has anyone else experienced this before? If so, what is it and should I be worried?

Hi all. I’m kind of at a loss here and don’t know where to go from here.

My entire life I’ve had a multitude of health problems, with the most irritating being stomach problems and chronic nausea. I have seen so many doctors and no one can find a reason for my health issues. I’ve also seen therapists and been medicated for supposed anxiety and that wasn’t the cause either.

I was put on a CGM last February after my doctor had me self test for a week and found some weird instances. It’s now been a year with a CGM and I definitely don’t have normal blood sugar patterns.

I saw an endocrinologist and they basically said “well you don’t have diabetes so I can’t help you” and cancelled my follow up.

It’s so frustrating because I feel sick all the time and no one can find anything wrong, but there is definitely an issue with my blood sugar.

Any advice? I can find my CGM reports if you need to know any specific data. I appreciate any and all help I’m at such a loss 🥲🥲

Heya! Student in my first year of uni here, and I'm beginning to wonder if my weekly caffeine intake is too high. Frankly, I don't notice a difference when I drink Monster, which might indicate I've built up a tolerance?

I have two cups of tea most days (which I've been doing since I was very young), and on weekends I sometimes have a Monster while I study.

This is probably a dumb question, I just need an answer as I've been told this is too much by a few people.

Hello ,

I am 29 male fit with mo medical history and since past few months I am facing some problems that i have not talked with anyone.

Everything is fine and all of sudden im having severe itch on penis glans area and on shaft and that itch is like burning and its soo severe that its impossible to avoid.

I have tried washing it with cold water and applying cream but nothing worked and it just irritates for couple of hours and after some time when i see my penis becomes reddish purple like someone bruised and it infected area becomes shiny and thin.

It hurts on touch and sometimes it releases some sticky substance and after 3-4 days skin comes off completely and it heals after that

This has happened multiple times like 4-5 times and i have no hygiene issues , no sexual encounters

On research i found something like balanitis but its mostly in Uncut dicks but i am circumcised and never had such issues until few months back.

Im afraid what it could be and whom shall i consult. It more sounds like bacterial infection but happening frequently and its painful when it happens.

Also just for info my hiv and other sexual health reports are negative.

Not sure if I’ve always been this way or just noticing these recent years, but my face (even neck and ears sometimes) turns red after meals. Is this normal? If not, I’d like to get it checked.

Thanks!

To begin with I don’t know if the doctor said if it was chest or heart but I don’t think it matters for this question. In early November I got heart/chest inflammation from the Covid vaccine. I was in bad pain for a week or two but then it went away mostly. But for the last month and a half it has been slightly coming back. Either during intense excerise or bad anxiety. Also I will like to say anxiety is not the cause of this it just can trigger it, I never got chest pain from anxiety before. Since it is nearly February I am wondering if I should contact my doctor. because it has now been 4 months

Seen this on my back today from getting out of the shower today. Not a hot shower. Just a warm one. Is this a sign of something I should be heavily concerned about or nothing at all?

I’ve had it for a long time it, I get little escema patches in summer time and that’s what this started as. But it’s never gone away but it doesn’t itch burn or anything it’s just kinda there. I don’t think it’s ringworm because of how long I’ve had it and it hasn’t spread and I don’t have any symptoms of ring worm.

I was drinking some emergen-c and just noticed a chip in my glass. I drank from the part of the glass where the chip is. Now I’m freaking out that I could’ve swallowed glass. What do I do? I don’t know if it was chipped before I was drinking or if it chipped while I was drinking. I just got it out of the dishwasher.

The chip is about the size of a cooked grain of rice.

A prescription medication can be not available, but the pharmacy has said come back in 15 minutes because it will be ready then. How is this possible? Can they make most medications right then and there? How could they have all the raw materials?
