I experience severe lower abdominal pain every 3 days that radiates to my testicles and lower back. The pain eases when I sit on a rolling object and when I press between my colon and testicles. What could be causing this pain and what tests should I undergo for diagnosis?

I just wore a heart Holter monitor and had 34,000 PVCs during a 24-hour period. Should there be a concern? I have low blood pressure and a low pulse. My BP stays around 80/60, 90/60, or even 80/52, with a pulse in the 40s. I stopped taking my BP meds, and my cardiologist wants to double them, but I can't function with lower BP. This has been ongoing for a year. What should I do?

I am trying to find an antibiotic that won't increase my ongoing diarrhea. I now take cholestyramine twice a day. I have sinusitis. The last antibiotics gave me C. diff. Is there an antibiotic out there that won't increase my problem?

For the last two months, I have been experiencing a runny nose with clear substance, more evident in the left nostril, which later became congested and produced yellow mucus. Now, my left nostril is completely blocked, making it hard to breathe and smell. I am currently seeing an ENT who diagnosed me with Fungal Sinus Infection and recommended an intranasal polypectomy. Can you explain what causes this condition, the treatment options, and the details of the proposed surgery, including its cost and potential side effects?

I started Flonase last night and every time I try to get up, I get very lightheaded. Can this be from that?
