I am an active 27 year old male who is in shape, with no other health issues other than acid reflux which developed a few months ago. I've been taking omeprazole 20mg every day for about two weeks now (out of a four week course of treatment). I am concerned about adverse effects on my kidneys, as there have been multiple peer-reviewed studies which confirm that PPI use can produce adverse outcomes on kidney function and even induce CKD. 

Am I being paranoid? Is a four week course negligible? Thanks in advance for your response. 

I am a 26 year old male who is relatively fit and active.

Recently, I have developed a severe case of acid reflux. My doctor prescribed Omeprezole 20mg once a day for three weeks.

I did some research on this medication and I've read that it can damage kidneys (kill kidney cells and lead to magnesium deficiency).

Should I be concerned about taking this medication for three weeks? Are the risks minimal? I am a little worried about this treatment option.

Thanks. 

So I was working on my broken Meade telescope, trying to fix it in the garage

Unfortunately, I had it pointed up towards a fluorescent light (a large, rectangle fixture installed on the ceiling).Stupid me, I wasn't thinking and I peered through the optics with one eye to ensure it was functioning properly. Of course, the light was incredibly bright and I moved away after about two seconds. Do you think I may have done damage to my eye, or increased my chances of cancer of the eye significantly. I've read such light emit UV rays.

More specifically, if I touched tobacco and went to the bathroom without having washed my hands prior, can I develop testicular cancer?

So, moronically, I turned my microwave on for about 25 seconds in an effort to heat food which was wrapped in aluminum foil. I then left the room; I didn't notice any sparking. When I returned, everything seemed to be normal (no smoke or evidence of burning). I was just wondering - should I be considered with having consumed the food? Is the reaction cancerous, or does it pose a health risk of some kind. I am pretty concerned. Thanks in advance.

I mistakenly breathed in fumes of about 2-3 matches while lighting my pipe. Upon reading that the inhalation of sulfur dioxide is of potentially serious concern medically speaking, I am frightful as to the nature of my situation as of now. Naturally, I have some anxieties as to what the consequences might be, if nothing at all.

Can you get eye cancer from getting cigarette smoke right in your eye?

Have gotten cigarette smoke in eyes and received a slight white bolt that runs down the left side of my right pupil (doctor said this was due to the Sun). I am kind of worried.

Can cigarette smoke entering the eyes cause brain cancer? All non-factual, pseudo-scientific answers will be flagged.
