Had a steroid injection today. Now my BP is 164/110 (normally 90/60) and pulse is 101. I can hear my heartbeat in my ears. Should I go to the ER? Just took it again and it was 145/101. Pulse still 101. I was also diagnosed with bronchitis today and given Decadron injection, doxycycline, Pan Air Inhaler and promethezine/codeine cough syrup. I presently take 90mg Armour and 40 mg Adderall in the morning around 5:00 am. Do I need to seek immediate treatment for this?

I have a burning sensation on my right side, between the rib cage and pelvis, which has been intermittent for the last few years but is more noticeable lately due to concerns about diabetes. Is it possible I have a kidney disorder or another issue related to diabetes? I'm nervous because no urine test was done, and I know kidney problems are connected to diabetes. Could I have some other malady?

I want to find a doctor who has experience using benfotiamine (B1) to treat high lactic acidosis and understand the appropriate oral dosage. My husband, who has ALS/MND with an SOD1 mutation, is experiencing excessive glutamate and neuron damage. We have a 24-hour urine test indicating high lactic acid levels and suspect Pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency. I am interested in benfotiamine to potentially remove the lactic acid block and would like an expert opinion on the suggested dosage.

I have a stinging pain in one spot on my lower leg (right side) on the top inside. The pain is sharp and occurs when fabric rubs against the area or when my skin pulls. There is no redness, swelling, or discoloration. I have Fibromyalgia, am 50, and in perimenopause. What could be causing this pain?

I'm experiencing a rash on my arms, back, and hands that appears when I visit my parents' house. The rash is red, slightly raised, varies in size, and itches intensely. What could be causing this rash and what can I do to alleviate the symptoms?
