I've been feeling a weird pain in the bone area near my chest, just to the left of the breastbone. It really hurts when I press on it, and sometimes I get this sudden shock-like pain when I breathe. When I don't press it, there's usually no pain. What could be causing this?

I'm really concerned because I heard in the news that having the BCG vaccine might lower the risk of getting the coronavirus. My brother is 28 and he never got any vaccines, including the BCG one, since he was born. Should I be worried about his health? Can you give me some advice on what we should do?

I've been dealing with this body heat issue for the past three months. My palms and hands are hot almost all day, and when I touch any part of my body, it feels warm. My temperature hovers around 98-98.6 degrees, and I'm also getting headaches about 1-2 times a week. It's starting to worry me. Can you help?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of hyperthyroidism, which can cause increased body heat, sweating, and hand tremors. Headaches can also be a symptom of this condition. I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been getting B12 injections and I've already taken a couple in my buttocks, but they're just too painful. Can I switch to getting the rest in my arm instead, or is it better to stick with the buttocks? If sticking with the buttocks is the way to go, do you have any tips on how to make it hurt less?
