Sorry, I know this might be a little different but it’s very important to me. About a year and a half ago I had a super traumatic event. I smoked a THC cart, i never did, but was super stressed that night due to other stuff. After smoking my head started moving to the right and to the left uncontrollably like I was possessed, I recorded this video, and then I lied down. When I layed down I felt a weird sensation like I could feel my skin and my heartbeat and my veins, etc. When I closed my eyes and opened them I could hear static and I got huge tunnel vision. It’s like my whole vision was a small square surrounded by black and I was sinking into my bed. It was like I was in a dark dimension falling away from reality and then I saw some very scary lsd/dmt hallucination patterns. I woke up with a svt and chest pain and collapsed out of fear and couldn’t see anything even after I opened my eyes. While the paramedics got me I imagined having to press on an imaginary button while a slider slid past my heart and press it at the right time for my heart to keep beating. Crazy and dumb I know but I wanna know what drug this possibly couldn’t been laced into it, or if it was a really bad case of THC potency. I’ve tried every resort, being to countless doctors and cardiologists and have chronic lightheaded attacks and crippling dysautonomia symptoms. I am a shell of my old self and live constantly ill, lightheaded, fatigued, and I wanna know any hints I can to see what caused this in the first place. I want answers. I know it’s a shot in the dark but any hints would be useful if anyone has seen the pattern before from people. All my tests come back normal but I’m not normal anymore.

I had this slight rash and decided to shave it before I take a look. Now I’m going crazy. Could someone be able to identify what it could be?

A few days ago I hookup with a guy in college and had oral sex for the first time. I’m not sure if it’s just me overthinking, but it’s always good to have others opinions. Could this be a possible STI or maybe just irritation for doing it for the first time . I’m really freaking out.

Whenever I drink carbonated drinks it hurts slightly and the back right near my tonsils where most of the inflammation is on feels very swollen when i swallow.

Do I have mild tonsillitis?

It’s been about a week of this weird thing appearing near my lower eyelid. Pharmacist told me it was probably conjunctivitis and gave me some antibiotic eye drops to take for 5 days max. 5 days have passed and this little guy is still there (it’s not in the other eye btw). My eye is fine by looking at it, but yellow crusts collect near this thing every few hours and I have to remove them (which did make me think of very very mild bacterial conjunctivitis, but why didn’t the antibiotic do anything then?). I had to wear contacts to drive a few days ago and they gave me some annoying “sand in the eye” sensation that I never get usually. What could this be? I opened the subreddit and it was full of really serious issues so I hope I’m not overreacting by posting, but I’m wondering.

First noticed these spots Monday afternoon (it’s Thursday night where I am). Thought it was a bug bite on but now unsure. The red areas are itchy. The red areas haven’t spread since I noticed them but they have gotten darker red since Monday. The area isn’t hot to the touch or particularly painful so I don’t think it’s an infection (or at the very least I’m hoping it’s not).

Is this from a face wash I used yesterday or is my liver about to pop?

29 female, six months pregnant. I started having a cold eight days ago, still have congestion and cough, coughing. Today I noticed if I forcefully exhale, the left side of my chest vibrates or rattles. It also happens if I do a really hard cough. I’m wondering if it’s just mucus I still need to get rid of? I’m hoping it’s not pneumonia or bronchitis or something.

26M. I have these two raised moles on my back and they have been scaring the past few days. As far as I know, they are not new. Mole on the right is redder than usual, but it has been scratched in the recent past, so that may explain the redness. Should I be concerned?

Big lump on right side of neck. Appeared around 7 weeks ago. Initially thought it was swollen gland, then last week noticed it was still there. Asked at my ENT appt and she said too big for a lymph node and to go to drs. Went to drs on Thursday last week. Doesn’t think anything to do with thyroid or lymph node. Thought it could be a lipoma. Had bloods on Monday, which didn’t flag up anything out of the ordinary. Waiting for ultrasound appt now, it’s been a week and no news! I feel stressed out! It feels firm but not rock hard, completely painless and moves slightly if I push it from the side.

Any advice or suggestions of what could be going on would be appreciated! I don’t like things touching my neck and it makes me feel sick. I’m getting that feeling today.. not sure if it’s grown or moved at all. Dr marked it at 3cmx2cm last week.

It has showed up 3 weeks ago.. its very itchy especially after a shower. Doctors gave me steroid cream and they calmed down but it hasnt gone away, please help or share any knowledge 🙏

I (23m) have been going to the gym & doing sports without any problems for years. For nearly a year now I have been unable to do any weight lifting due to an issue that's come up kind of suddenly and without any give.
Please if anyone can give some advice on what it could be/ any short and long term solutions it'd be much appreciated! And what the best route would be to treatment...

Symptoms/ history:

- When at the gym doing a lift, I would be unable to get a breath in whilst holding/ lifting weight. The whole time whilst doing a set I can't breathe & when I let go of the weight I would cough and have a sensitive/ irritated throat that would worsen if I continue to lift weights. Gag reflex would also become more sensitive.

- It would be like I am being strangled the whole time whilst holding the weight. This would be the case from the very first gym exercise.

- Symptoms would happen under any weight lifting exercise (chest press, bicep curl etc)

- Tried lifting much much lower weights but symptoms were still present though slightly less intense.

- I became more sensitive to it over time.

- After taking breaks from the gym (for the mystery problem to go away) on return the symptoms would be the same. Breaks were for multiple months.

- Tried PPI, did not help.

- No issues found from ENT (ear, nose, throat) doctor after Laryngoscopy.

The best argument I have for suspecting this is LPR is when I tried the liquid Gaviscon Advance, symptoms completely went away. This only worked so well temporarily, not sure if I grew some kind of quick tolerance to it (if that's possible?????) but it became less effective over time - symptoms would more quickly redevelop between sets/ doses. I haven't tried it in a while & don't see it as a long term solution of course...

I don't think it is due to any 'breathing technique issue'. I have been working out & doing martial arts for a long time without problems. The symptoms greatly subsided for a brief period after using the liquid Gaviscon Advanced ^

The gym was a big part of my lifestyle and losing it is quite tough, if anyone has any advice they can give - I'd be very thankful. I'm in the process of trying to get this sorted but UK healthcare is quite something right now, I'll have to save for private at this point again. The more information I can get, the best I can manage this going forward and speed up recovery/ treatment. Thanks <3

About 8 inches. Appeared without injury. No pain but itchy. Thinking something might have bit me. Or shingles. Or i dont know.

i used a needle to try and pop a spot in my ear without a camera. then i got a camera, and tried to stab the white spot because my mom said that was it, before realising that was definitely not the spot that hurt. it’s clearly part of the ear structure, i don’t think i pierced anything but am a bit scared now

i’m more concerned about the white line next to the white spot, does this look like a needle fragment? i tried to move it and couldn’t but was hard to tell if it was even near it tbf

rest assured i will not put anything else in my ear now, it’s more red than the other and hurts

I now have 3 nails (two on my right hand and one on my left hand) that are growing all bumpy. Pictured here is my right hand so pinky and pointer fingers.
Nothing in my health has changed and I don’t know if this is alarming or if I should run some tests?

Thank you!

I had covid/flu back in July + instantly caught a throat infection a few weeks after. Then (maybe because my immune system was busy fighting those or I'm unlucky) I got a tooth infection on a tooth with a previous root canal. Got 3 courses of antibiotics while waiting on the root canal specialist. During the last course, which was end of August, my throat started hurting, and I started having white coating on my tongue. During I kept having high blood pressure and heart rate and kept having hot flushes but didn't have an actual fever and generally felt terrible. Had my tooth sorted, which cleared the abscess, also discovered that the adjacent tooth also needs a root canal done which is half way done now. All this is making me feel better, the blood pressure and heart rate seem to go back to normal now. What is left is the white stuff on my tongue and a on and off sore and red tongue + burning feeling in my mouth. I started Nystatin right after the last antibiotics, then switched to daktarin and fluconazole. Now after 5 weeks I started it all together. And all it does is that after applying the gel/liquid i feel better for a few hours and then the burning feeling comes back. Swabs say everything is normal. Blood test says I'm healthy.

What could it be?

Pictures show my tongue from back in September to now.

My left tonsil and peritonsillar pilar is already bigger than my right d/t having a PTA 3 months ago. But 4 days ago I had swelling at the top of the peritonsillar pillar and over the last couple days these lumps are appearing. The soonest I can see my ENT is in 5 days. Does it look like embedded tonsil stones? Mucoid cyst? Something worse? No pain, just slightly when I swallow due to location and where it rubs. No sxs of infection or PTA or cellulitis

20M, 85kg, 5,12ft, I have dizziness, difficulty breathing, chest tightness, nausea, sudden unexplained sweating, and chest pain that comes and goes. Throughout this year I have had about 10 ECG's, a 24 hr holter monitor, stress test ECG, 2 echocardiograms and several series of blood tests. All the results were normal and my lipids were all within normal range for my age. I have consulted 4 separate cardiologists and 2 physicians who all said it's just anxiety. But still to this day I still have all the above mentioned symptoms. Yes I am working with a psychiatrist and yes I'm taking medication (zoloft 50mg). But still none of these help or even reduce the severity of my symptoms. So my questions are 1) should I just ignore these symptoms/sensations, 2) what is the likelihood of me having some severe heart condition considering my age and testing, and 3) is there anything else I should be looking into (maybe consulting a pulmonologist?). I would really appreciate any feedback at all.

Yeah so the bottom middle part of my lip has like a different colour and texture compared to everywhere else. It also feels more smooth and more skin-like as compared to other parts of the lip, even though my lips are kinds dry. Anyone know what this is
