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?

I have concerns about a bulge adjacent to my belly button on the left side of my stomach, which seems to be swollen. I also have gastritis and have stopped drinking coffee, feeling better. I take Aleve about 3 times a week and want to know if it might cause my gastritis. Additionally, I am worried that the bulge might be a hernia or a tumor. What do you think?

Is something wrong with me that everything tastes so salty? Is this a sign of something?
