Most days of the week at nighttime, I remember to drink boiled water with 1-2 tablespoons of chia seeds in them because I know that chia seeds are good for the heart, brain, lowering blood pressure, and are high in fiber. What other benefits do chia seeds have?

About 3 years ago, in November 2023, I started experiencing these weird symptoms. I started to feel pressure and pain under my tongue, and I noticed that it would not stop. Then, the sides of my neck started to hurt. I’ve gotten a cervical spine MRI, thyroid ultrasound, and neck soft tissue X-ray. However, all results came back normal. It’s been 3 years, and I am still feeling these weird symptoms. I have been living with this pain for almost 3 years. Not one doctor I’ve been to has taken me seriously. I will make a PCP appointment soon to talk about asking for a neck soft tissue MRI, but I do not know if my doctor will order it for me because of health insurance coverage. I’ve tried anxiety medications and visited the ENT doctor many times, but none of it seemed to affect my current and ongoing symptoms. Do you think an MRI of my soft tissue neck is reasonable for my chronic symptoms, or is another imaging modality more favorable?

Hello, everyone. I am 22F with severe anxiety and depression. I was wondering, since I struggle with my anxiety and depression, is it safe to take 50,000 IU of vitamin D3 every week? I know that 50,000 IU is a very high dose, and is usually prescribed by a doctor for those people who have vitamin D3 deficiency. However, I do not have deficiency in vitamin D3, but I do struggle with anxiety, depression, and negative thoughts. I am just curious... will vitamin D3 solve my problems, or should I speak with an actual psychiatrist regarding my anxiety and depression?
