An X-ray can show some masses and warning signs, but many tumors need CT, MRI, ultrasound, or a biopsy to confirm. X-rays are fast, low cost, and widely available. That’s why they’re often the first image taken for pain, swelling, a stubborn cough, or a new lump. Still, an X-ray is a blunt tool. It

Cataracts don’t usually cause nausea by themselves, but cataract-related blur and glare can trigger eye strain, headaches, dizziness, and an upset stomach.

It filters blood, recycles worn-out blood cells, and helps your body fight germs. When it swells (splenomegaly), it’s rarely a problem that started in the spleen. Most of the time,
