I have had an echocardiogram and EKG to rule out heart palpitations. I now keep having blood pressure readings of 130/90 and 150/95. The doctor wants me to take toprol for a few weeks. I am also on topamax for migraines. My symptoms include fatigue, shortness of breath, pins and needles in feet and hands (side effects of topamax), headaches, stomach aches, some loose stools but I also have IBS, and I am very anxious. The doctor thinks these are symptoms of anxiety. I also went to the ER for a full chest x-ray and blood work for the heart, which all came back normal. I am worried because my symptoms include high blood pressure, which is new, and I do not feel well. I weigh 110 pounds, am 5'4", exercise 4-5 days a week, and am a 39-year-old woman with three boys. Can stress do this much harm?

My mother is acutely confused for one week, forgetting her daughters and needing prompting to remember them. She has been repeating herself a lot for the last three years, but this is a new symptom. She had a normal MRI and is seeing a physician on Wednesday. What could be wrong?

I am a 37-year-old female experiencing fatigue, low-grade fevers, and overall unwellness. My white blood cell count (WBC) was low in January and has further decreased to 1.82, with lymphocyte absolute at 0.42 (low), monocyte at 15 (high), atypical lymphocytes at 4, and neutrophil absolute at 1.09 (low). What could these abnormal levels indicate?

I have pain and what looks like a slight tear on the pee hole of my penis. If I keep it clean and abstain from sex for a while, will it heal itself? Is this a common problem, and is there a name for it?
