My mother has recently been diagnosed with a “sliding hernia.” What exactly is this? She has pain in her chest region.

At my last heart check up about two years ago, I was informed that there is calcification in my aorta (65%). What does this mean, and what is the remedy?

What are the symptoms of sunstroke or heatstroke?

I recently had an ultrasound. The reading suggested that the lining of my uterus was slightly thick. What does this mean? Does age matter? I am 59 years old.

My husband and I are trying to conceive. I recently had a dye study that shows my fallopian tubes are scarred. Are there any infections besides sexually transmitted diseases that could have caused this?

I was diagnosed with asthma 5 years ago, and my doctor prescribed an inhaler to use daily. I haven't had any symptoms for a year now, even though I stopped using my inhaler. Can asthma go away?

My face has been burning and stinging for nearly 3 months. The sides of my face are flaky with dry skin, but the pain feels similar to a rug burn. Any creams or lotions I put on my face make it worse. What could this be?
