A week ago I vomited due to food poisoning and since then my stomach felt very acidic and churning a lot. Today I have had a horrible acid feeling in my throat and my tonsils are swollen.

What is wrong with me and how can I cure this horrible sore throat?
Thanks for answering so quickly! I’ve had an antacid drink a couple times over the last few days. Didnt help in the slightest

Ok, so around the beginning of February I moved into my Aunt’s house. She doesn’t have much money and it’s not the cleanest place. In the inconvenient situation, me, my twin sister, and my two cousins all had to share a bunk bed. The matresses were old… I slept on the bottom and my sister slept on the top.

After a few days I started to notice red itchy spots on my feet and arms, then I eventually got a few basically everywhere. After one night of sleeping on the bottom bunk, my sister, who didn’t have any bumps, started getting the bumps. They’re your typical bed bug bites. Some of them were in clusters of three. We went to the doctors who comfirmed them as bed bugs.

My question: Why didn’t either of my cousins get them? My other cousin, who always slept in the bottom bunk (which had the worse infestation) never got them. Was is because they had been living there for a long time and their bodies were used to it?

I noticed lately I’ve been shaking and twitching uncontrollably (my legs mostly), within the past few days. I’ve been diagnosed before as having a panic disorder (and prescribed to Lexapro though I haven’t taken it) so is this just another symptom associated with anxiety? I often confuse my symptoms and blow them up into something much bigger and this causes me to get even more anxious and nervous. How do I determine when or whether or not my anxiety is bothering me? How do I counteract it? What are symptoms of anxiety I should look for?

I had my nose pierced a few days ago, and now i am getting random headaches and random times of the day. And they are constant. Could my nose be infected?

Or do I need to call an exterminator. A few days ago I woke up with a random rash looking thing on my stomach, then again a couple days after that. My friends thought it was bed bugs so I decided to take my sheets off and check my mattress and sheets. I havent found a live bug, but after research I do think I have seen the shells of the bugs. Any suggestions?

I had unprotected sex one month and few days ago. After one month and few days I suffered from flu but the symptoms were caf, no fever, no head ach, thick nose fluid and no rash, no swollen lymph nodes. Can we say is it early symptom of Hiv aids?

If I phone a doctor to try to schedule an appointment, the secretary usually says the doctor is booked up for the next six to nine months, thank you very much. By that time I’ll either be dead or recovered. However, if my primary care physician makes an appointment with another doctor, it’s usually within a few days. So why can another doctor get an appointment so quickly while the patient attempting to get an appointment is put off indefinitely?

I usually take adderall on a regular basis (20mg daily), but since I ran out of medication, and also on occasions in recent memory I experience more feelings of anxiety, sluggishness and depression when I go off it a few days. Is my body chemistry readjusting? Is this normal? Are these withdrawal symptoms? Please answer only if you have experienced this or if you are a psychiatrist. Thanks!
