Dean, Mercury is the Most Malefic Planet in your Jyotisha natal chart, according to Systems' Theory adherents, since it rules your 8th House.
Right now it is transiting in your 6th House of health, and is combust the transiting Sun, which is also in the 6th...
Thankfully, Mercury in your natal chart is strong...it's your strongest graha (planet)...and it transits into your Jyotisha natal chart 7th House on August 8. So things affected by Mercury should gradually begin to improve then...
"Mercury represents the lower part of the abdomen, skin, mind, nervous system, urinary bladder, bronchial tube, gastric juice, digestion, intestines, lungs, tongue, mouth, hands and arms. When weak, it causes psychic diseases, insomnia, nervous breakdown, epilepsy, skin diseases, leukoderma, impotence, loss of memory or speech, vertigo, deafness, asthma, diseases of the respiratory canal, disorders of the intestines, dyspepsia, etc., and denotes difficulty in thought and communication, timidity, low self-esteem, aloofness, amorality, expediency, over-intellectualization and poor discrimination. As Mercury is weak quite frequently, whenever its sub-period is in operation in any nativity it creates tensions in life, lack of confidence, situations of indecisiveness, etc., which ultimately leads to faulty decisions. The effect is more if Mercury is weak in the natal chart as well as in transit at the time of operation of its sub-periods. It makes a person a nervous wreck and can even cause paralysis when closely afflicted by the Rahu-Ketu axis, if the ascendant and its lord are also weak or the sign Virgo falls in the ascendant. Mercury is also the general significator for consciousness, communications, eloquence, learning, childhood, logic, maternal uncles, potency, nervous control, respiratory functions, basic and higher education, humor, wit, mathematics, professional position, psychic ability, speculation, short journeys, books, papers, publishing and places of entertainment."
