I'm experiencing loose motions and joint pain, and my tongue feels tasteless. I'm also feeling drowsy and really tired. Plus, my stomach has this crampy feeling. What could be causing all of this and what should I do about it?

The discoloration and swelling on your arm after a blood test are likely due to a hematoma (blood accumulation under the skin) or bruising. This is a common and temporary reaction, but if you experience:

  • Increasing pain or swelling
  • Redness or warmth around the area
  • Difficulty moving your arm

Seek medical attention to rule out any serious complications.

I've been dealing with stomach worms for about 6 years now. I've seen lots of doctors and tried different medications, but nothing seems to work because the issue is still there. I also have this persistent itching around my anus, and it's affecting my health. I'm feeling really physically weak because of it. What could be causing this recurring problem, and what else can I do to finally get rid of it?

I've been having some pain that's really bothering me, and I can't figure out if it's something serious. I'm 33, female, about 165 cm tall, and weigh 64 kg. Recently, I've been dealing with chest and upper back pain. It's weird because I feel really sharp pain when I lie down, but when I'm sitting up straight or walking, I don't notice it at all. It almost feels like there's something stuck in my throat, and when I swallow my saliva, the pain shoots to the center of my chest and then over to the right side and into my upper back. I also end up burping a lot and have the urge to pass stools when this pain kicks in. If I pay close attention, it seems like the pain starts on my back's right side and radiates to my chest. Is this something related to my heart?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), rather than a heart-related issue. The sensation of something stuck in your throat, pain when swallowing saliva, chest pain that radiates to the right side, upper back pain, and frequent burping are all common symptoms of acid reflux. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids such as Tums or Rolaids to help alleviate your symptoms. You can also try lifestyle modifications such as avoiding trigger foods (spicy, acidic, fatty foods), eating smaller meals, avoiding lying down immediately after eating, and raising the head of your bed. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've noticed something odd today. Every time I went to the bathroom to poop, there was this oily substance that seemed to emerge from my anus. It's not like it's actively leaking, but when I look in the toilet, I can clearly see the oil floating on the water. It even looks about the color of olive oil. Do you have any idea why this is happening? Is it something I should be concerned about?

Meditation alone cannot cure calcified granulomas. _Consult a neurologistneurosurgeon for proper evaluation and imaging tests (CTMRI scans)._ Meditation can help with stress reduction and overall well-being, but medical attention is necessary to monitor the granuloma.
