I am a 23 year old female. I have been having my period for 9 days now with sharp pains on my lower tummy and down there, what can be an issue?
The sharp aches in your lower belly could mean endometriosis. This happens when the uterus lining grows outside, causing pain and heavy flow. Seeing a gynecologist is key for diagnosis and treatment.

I am having very sharp and constant pain shooting from my outer elbow down to my pinkie and my thumb/ index finger. It's causing tingling and numbness to those fingers. I've tried putting ice packs on it but it makes the pain worse. And a little of the ulna looks to be protruding a little bit more then my other elbow. I have it at rest at the moment and the pain is constant
Ulnar nerve passes through a tunnel at the elbow - the cubital tunnel. When compressed, it can lead to symptoms like pain, tingling, and numbness in the ring and little fingers. The protrusion in your ulna bone might be worsening the compression. To manage this, try keeping your elbow in a relaxed position. Avoid resting it on hard surfaces or bending it excessively. See an orthopedist for proper diagnosis and treatment recommendations.

Experiencing old black period blood - what should I do?
Old blood appears darker in color. It's normal, but concerning if it's new or frequent. Stress, hormones might cause this. Note it down. If it persists, consult a doctor. Being worried is understandable. Lingering old blood during periods isn't unusual. However, monitor such occurrences. Take advice from healthcare providers if the issue doesn't resolve itself. Sudden changes demand professional opinion. Stay calm, but vigilant.

I am 35 year old male , I am feeling pressure in chest and burning in chest and throat and bitter test in mouth. And fearing when I recall one incident.
Acid reflux brings stomach acid back to your food pipe. It causes pressure and burning in your chest and throat, plus a bitter taste. Stress can make it worse. To find relief, eat smaller meals and avoid spicy or fatty foods that trigger symptoms. Try relaxing methods to manage stress. If it continues, ask a cardiologist for help and treatment.

Is my swollen ankle just a sprain or fracture?
There's a chance your ankle sprain happened while playing football. Stretched or torn ligaments cause sprains. You likely have pain, swelling, and trouble moving that ankle. The pain location suggests a sprain over fracture. Avoid excess weight on it. If pain persists or worsens, see an orthopedist.
