I've been dealing with an autoimmune system disorder for the past 8 months, and I'm currently on a bunch of medications like thyronorm, predmet, and HCQS. They've recently added another one called NudeFza6. I've noticed that my left chest seems to be getting a bit bigger, and I'm worried it might be gynecomastia or some other side effect. I'm really concerned about whether these meds could be causing something serious. Should I consider stopping this allopathic treatment and look into homeopathy instead? I'd really appreciate your advice on what to do next.

View allI've been having really bad head pain for the last 2 weeks. I got a blood test done, and it shows my ESR level is 72.1. I've attached the blood report here. Can you help me understand why it's so high? What could be the issue here, and which doctor should I talk to for this?
A high ESR level can indicate inflammation in the body, which could be due to various reasons such as infection, autoimmune diseases, or certain types of cancer. In your case, the high ESR level may be related to the underlying cause of your severe head pain. To address this issue, you can consult a Neurologist for further evaluation and management of your head pain. In the meantime, you can take Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. However, it is important to follow up with a Neurologist for a comprehensive assessment and appropriate treatment plan.

I've been dealing with this constant pain in my ribs, on both sides, but it's worse on the left. It's been going on for the last couple of years, and the pain comes and goessome days it's really bad, and others it's not there at all. I'm 31, weigh 104, and I'm about 5'7". I'll admit, I don't have the healthiest lifestyle, and I used to smoke. I've done some tests like a 2D echo, a stress test, an endoscopy, and a chest X-ray, and everything came back normal. My blood pressure is a bit high, and I have thyroid issues, but all my other blood work looks good, except for some cholesterol issues. I'm just trying to figure out what might be causing this rib pain. Any ideas on what could be going on or what I should do next?
