Ive been dealing with a cough and cold for a few days and recently had a fever that went up to around 100.5F. It only lasted for a bit and went down after taking pcm. My doctor suggested a blood test and it turns out my ESR is at 40, though my hemoglobin and platelet count are normal. I'm confused and a bit worried about why my ESR is high. The doctor told me to take azithromycin for 5 days. Is there something serious going on with this high ESR?

I'm 27 and got married back in December 2015. For the past 1015 days or so, I've been feeling constantly tired and fatigued. It's like I just don't have any energy, and I feel sleepy all the time. I usually get about 6 to 7 hours of sleep, and I'm also a working woman. Can you help me understand what's going on? It's really starting to worry me.

I've been having this muscle pain around my chest for a while now. I think it might be a muscle tear from sleeping in a bad position. There's no breathlessness, just pain. Do you think it's anything serious?

It sounds like you may be experiencing muscle pain in your chest, possibly due to a muscle tear from sleeping in the wrong posture. Since you are not experiencing breathlessness, it is less likely to be related to any serious cardiac issues. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) to help with the pain and inflammation. Make sure to get plenty of rest and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it would be best to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm trying to figure out the right way to give Arachitol Nano 60k solution for Vitamin D3. Should I give it before or after breakfast? If I start tomorrow, which day should be the next dose? Any advice would be great!

Based on your symptoms and test results, here's a summary and recommendations: *Summary* 1. Initial sonography showed a small prominence in the left renal pelvis. 2. CT scan was normal. 3. You experienced mild pain in the left bladder and testicles, which persisted despite treatment for a suspected stone. 4. A follow-up sonography showed an extrarenal pelvis. *Recommendations* 1. *Consult a urologist*: Schedule an appointment with a urologist to discuss your symptoms and test results. 2. *Further evaluation*: Your urologist may recommend additional tests, such as: - Intravenous Pyelography (IVP) to evaluate the urinary tract. - Retrograde Pyelography to examine the upper urinary tract. - MRI or CT urography for further imaging. 3. *Addressing testicular pain*: Your urologist will investigate the cause of the persistent testicular pain, which may be related to: - Epididymitis (inflammation of the epididymis). - Orchitis (inflammation of the testicles). - Varicocele (enlarged veins in the scrotum). 4. *Monitoring and follow-up*: Regular follow-up appointments with your urologist will help monitor your condition and adjust treatment as needed.
