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?

I have little specks in my urine, and I feel itchy with a fishy smell. I've been using a little metronidazole for a week. How long have you had the itchiness? Have you seen a doctor about it? Is there anything else in your medical history the doctor should know?
