I'm having intense stabbing pain in the right side of my head that worsens with coughing, sneezing, or exertion. The headache has been ongoing for two weeks, with slight nausea at times. I also occasionally experience blurred vision. I had bronchitis about a month ago and I smoke. Could these factors be related to my current symptoms?

I am taking 10 meq oral potassium to raise my potassium level from 2.7. I am also taking 25mg of hydrodiural. How quickly will it raise my potassium level to normal, and am I at risk of too much potassium if I eat too many high potassium foods?

I was diagnosed with Acinetobacter lwoffii infection in my thigh sore that has lasted for 3 months. I am healthy and read that this infection typically occurs in immune-compromised patients. I have seen a doctor who prescribed Bactrim DS, but she was unsure if it would eliminate the infection. What is the proper antibiotic for this condition, and should I continue with the prescribed medication?

I am experiencing frequent palpitations, especially when sitting or lying down. I am currently affected by sinus drainage and take a beta blocker, cholesterol medication, and a low-dose aspirin inconsistently. I also have hot flashes, mostly during early morning sleep. My diet is average, and I try to avoid sugar, chocolate, fried foods, and high-fat foods. My heart rate was 53 beats per minute with two palpitations, and my blood pressure is usually 120/80 or lower. Stress levels are average to low since I started vacation. What suggestions do you have for managing these symptoms?
