Laptop battery drained within 5 minutes

Hi everyone, I'm trying to figure out an issue with my HP 14-em0xxx.

Recently, my laptop started losing battery extremely quickly. It can go from fully charged to basically dead in just a few minutes when I unplug it. The laptop itself works normally while plugged in. I initially thought the charger was the problem, so I bought a new charger, but the issue is still happening. I ran HP's built-in Battery Check through the UEFI/System Diagnostics, and it says the battery is fine, and I also did a Windows battery report and shows the battery is 100% capacity, so I'm confused because the battery appears healthy according to both HP's diagnostics and Windows, but in actual use it drains extremely quickly.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? Do I need a new battery? Is replacing a battery hard, and how do I figure out which battery is required for my laptop (It's an HP 14-em0xxx)? I'd really appreciate any ideas on what I should test next before I spend money on another laptop. Thanks

Regret not overfilling - fat graft

I just got fat graft done a few weeks ago and although right now I'd say I'm quite satisfied with my results from an aesthetics perspective, I can't help but regret that I didn't overfill. It was something I was planning to tell my doctor but on the day of the surgery I was too nervous and it just slipped out of my train of thought. Although the results look good now, alot of the fat is expected to be reabsorbed in the upcoming weeks and I feel like this all could have been avoided by overfilling initially. Anyone think the same and what did you do to get out of this mindset?

Ptosis surgery

My left eye feels very weird now that I've gone through surgery. It's like it wants to move in another direction, rather than just looking straight it wants to drag to the furthest corner and it's driving me insane. I'm getting extremely nervous because I don't know why this would be the case and I'm trying my hardest not to try and freak out. Has anyone experienced this before
