I had an odd event a year ago where my head felt like it was expanding and contracting slowly, with hundreds of episodes throughout the day. My blood pressure was found to be very high at the hospital, and I was put on medication. Recently, my BP was measured at 185/117 during an MRI, and it has been fluctuating between 145/93 and 198/139. I have chronic back pain and am experiencing fatigue, headaches, and blurry vision. Should I wait for a doctor's appointment or go to the ER immediately?

Since the other night, every time I breathe in deeply, I experience painful pressure in my throat and upper chest area. The more I do it, the worse it gets, and bending over makes it really bad. I have no cough or soreness, and it started after a vigorous evening and dinner. I have MVP (Mitral Valve Prolapse) and GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease), and I'm currently taking 1/4 mg of Ativan to sleep at night and Prilosec OTC. No tests have been done yet. What could be causing this pain, and what should I do?

I had a total abdominal hysterectomy 3.5 weeks ago and am experiencing pain when I need to urinate and before, along with nausea and severe pain from wind around my stomach. I thought it was a chronic water infection and have taken 3 courses of antibiotics, but the symptoms persist despite urine samples showing no specific infection. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I started Prozac about 3 months ago. I had a full period but have not had a period for two months. I took a pregnancy test which shows negative. Not sure what's wrong. I was on Depo for six years, was off for two, then took two more shots over a year ago. I had been having periods. Never missed one before but they have always been irregular. No thyroid problem that I know of. I am 5'4" and 160 lbs. I have gained some weight recently and am often nauseated.

Three or four times over the last 6 months, my stool has been green, and I have not been eating anything unusual. What does this mean?

I have very large, pus-filled spots under my armpit that are very sore. I've had them for five months, been on loads of penicillin 625mg, and they don't go away. They also cause burning and pain. What could this be and what can I do about it?
