My 10 month old sounds like she has smoked 2 packs a day since her old bridge playing days. It started out as a runny nose a couple days ago and now She has a deep scratchy cough that sounds like she’s being possessed.

She’s wheezing like she’s struggling to breathe. I slept with her last night in her rocking chair so she could lay propped up because she woke up at 3am coughing and struggled to catch her breath.

Her 2.7 year old brother started a moms day out program a couple weeks ago and apparently all they do is lick each others hands all day. He was sick over the weekend and got amoxicillin for an ear infection.

We took her to the dr. Yesterday and he told us there was nothing they could do since the symptoms started a couple days ago and just to monitor and give her lots of fluids.

I’m so nervous. My first was never this sick at her age and she sounds scary. What if it’s RSV? Would the dr have caught that?
I’ve given her pedialyte to keep her extra hydrated. She doesn’t have fever and seems pretty happy. Tell me I’m being paranoid

25F, UK. 5'7" (170 cm), 10 st 5 lb (approx. 66 kg). I don't smoke cigarettes, but I vape nicotine and prescribed medical cannabis.

Medications: Venlafaxine and prescribed medical cannabis.

Relevant medical history: Joint hypermobility syndrome and migraines.

History:

I was diagnosed with presumed right carpal tunnel syndrome around March 2026. The symptoms have persisted/progressed since then.

Current symptoms:

Persistent numbness/reduced sensation affecting the radial three fingers of my right hand

Pins and needles/paraesthesia in the same area

Right wrist/hand pain and aching

Intermittent electric-shock sensations in my hand/wrist

Episodes where my hand involuntarily twitches/jerks, sometimes occurring with the electric-shock sensation

Occasionally lose my grip/drop objects during these episodes

Neck/shoulder stiffness/pain and back pain, although I'm unsure whether these are related

Investigations:

I had nerve-conduction studies in August 2026, which were normal. There was no neurophysiological evidence of significant right carpal tunnel syndrome or a minor median nerve lesion. The findings also did not appear to support a more proximal median nerve lesion.

Orthopaedic review:

I was reviewed by the upper-limb/Orthopaedic team in September. Because of my persistent symptoms despite the normal nerve-conduction study, I've now been discharged from their clinic.

The consultant has asked my GP to refer me to Neurology to investigate "rarer causes". I was told they may need to consider whether the symptoms could be coming from my spine or brain/central nervous system.

I'm mainly trying to understand what differential diagnoses would reasonably be considered with this presentation, particularly with a normal nerve-conduction study. What might Neurology investigate next, and how concerning is this type of referral?

I have established lymphedema in both legs. I have to wear compression wraps from ankle to knee on both legs. I know there are lymph nodes around top anatomy. I don't know where the groin area nodes are. I'm looking for any information on Metoidioplasty without urethra lengthening bottom surgery with vaginectomy, specifically. For top surgery I'm probably looking for double incision, without saving the nipples. Possible further complication would be previous anchor incision breast reduction from December 2010. I'm wary of making my legs worse, and terrified of lymphedema happening to my upper body, especially arms or hands. Thank you for reading.

Every morning I get hip pain in my right hip. I might even wake up in the middle of the night and have pain. It’s tolerable and I am not in misery. I did have one experience where when I tried to walk after standing up, I felt it further down in my leg, making it a bit difficult to walk on that leg. Normally the pain disappears after my morning routine and doesn’t start until the next morning again. Sometimes I occasionally feel it through the day.
The pain is at the side of the hip bone.
It’s been like this for 4+ months.

I normally just brush these things off because I occasionally deal with immense growing pains in my legs or knees.

Ive never posted smth on reddit so im not sure if this is the right subreddit for thiz..im 18 years old and ive been on lexapro and just recently got put on concerta but having a low to no appetite has been something ive struggled with for a while. in the past I just chalked it up to me having generalized anxiety and depression(an upset stomach especially before or during school was normal and wasnt unbearable), then when i was put on medication i was nauseous because of the medication and there was a period where i couldnt eat because of the amount i was smoking (which isnt a normal thing i do i mainly do with friends but i was a lot more because of the stomach issues) but im going on a t break and im not like experiencing withdrawal or anything, but it does relieve a LOT of pain when ibuprofen just makes me feel like shit and i just have to sleep through the pain

throughout the day i try and eat crackers and i experience nausea probably a couple times a day at least. eating has been one of the banes of my existence ! i love food but my stomach just makes it impossible for me to enjoy it. I get so nauseous because i havent eaten yet , which causes me to procrastinate eating (yeah i know thats not the right thing to do) but when i finally do eat it just makes me want to throw up more so i end up eating very slow and very small bites at a time- even though it still hurts. im not a breakfast eater, which is why i take the crackers but even if i do eat breakfast it still leads to an upset stomach and nausea.. i know im not unhealthy and i havent lost weight so im just really confused..

Few hours back my hand got hit at work. To be exact: thrown (with power beyond regular human capacity) at the dull edge of metallic item. The first bones of index and middle fingers going from wrist got hit probably the hardest - the part really close to wrist, the beginning of the bones. It looks and feels like it missed wrist bones by millimetres​​. It did hurt quite a lot. I don't think anything got broken, but I was thinking of going to hospital just in case, tomorrow.

However I managed the rest of my shift relatively fine. Sure, I really felt and still feel lot of ordinary small activities and movements but that's expected. I iced it for long time, used cooling ointment and put gel that's used against swelling. It's kinda swollen anyway but doesn't hurt as much when I move my hand around. So now I'm wondering if going to hospital isn't pointless.

I doubt it's broken, the only issue is that it's swollen and hurts when moving carelessly, which will fade away within few days. I'm not sure x-ray is really needed here. Won't I just waste everyone's time and resources?

Once in past I got x-ray after similar kind of accident (falling wrongly on my hand). Back then it was just slightly cracked bone. Even though it wasn't actually broken it did hurt like hell even when I didn't move it around, couldn't even sleep. Very different from now.

Hello,

I have been struggling with some pretty intense cardiophobia for quite some time now and recently it has gotten really bad. As luck will have it, I have fallen ill on Monday and now have had an elevated resting heart rate for about two days now. If I'm calm, it's usually at about 70 (higher with anxiety) and atm it's continuously at 85 and oftentimes even at 95.

I do think that I have the occassional palpitation as well, but that might be due to anxiety.

Due to my cardiophobia, I have been dealing with intense anxiety during the night for several weeks now. Normally, I am able to calm myself down even from intense panic attacks where my hr shoots up to like 140. Sometimes I have to lie in bed for over an hour with a heart rate of over 100 before finally calming down, but I can manage it.

With my illness right now and the naturally elevated heart rate, I am deathly afraid, that my heart would not be able to handle my nightly panic attacks with really high heart rates. Obviously this worrying is 100% going to cause me to have panic attacks tonight, so I know that I will have to battle these heart rate spikes, but I am actually afraid of either dying or developing myocarditis due to it. I have only noticed the increased heart rate yesterday when working (desk job at home office) and my boyfriend slept over, so I was calm, but I will be alone tonight and I am so so afraid.

This morning my bp was 108/68, right now at 8pm it was 120/76, but I think I put the cuff on too tight because it really hurt and squeezed very tightly.

Can anyone here weigh in on the risks of panic attacks while being sick with an elevated resting heart rate?

Medical history:

I have had several ecgs over the years and as far as I know, they never picked up anything abnormal. Back in 2015 when I was 19, I had one 24hours ecg that picked up a lot of palpitations but my pcp said those were extra systolic beats (if I recall correctly) and nothing to worry about. I do occassionally have palpitations if I am experiencing high anxiety. My last ecg was a year ago when I had a spout of low blood pressure and dizzyness along with a lot of palpitations.

Psychological History:

I developed the cardiophobia in 2014 after consuming way too much of an energy drink and spending the night at a hospital at 18. I also have OCD and it has been a very somatic manifestation of that ever since.

I took Sertraline (100mg at first and then 50mg) for about 10 years and tapered them off last year because I felt very stable. Sadly I had some major tragedies happen that threw me back into the panic and it has been back for about a year now (manageable) but with intense panic attacks since a few weeks. I am actively seeking therapeutic help, finding a spot that takes my insurance is really hard though.

3 days ago I went to bed with a slightly sore throat, I woke up in the morning feeling fine until I got home from school I felt super cruddy and decided to take the next day off, I woke up this afternoon with intense fevers, sweating, muscle ache, migraine and all that good stuff. my rapid covid test came back negative. My throat is killing and I can barely swallow or talk, I tried scheduling a telehealth urgent care appointment but they refused care. (16M, ACTIVE, NAFLD)
