My blood pressure is 143 over 112 and my heart rate is 138. This is consistent. Over the past 5 years, I've had atrial fibrillation. I'm 55 years old and taking lisinopril. I've had shortness of breath for about 5 days. Should I go to the emergency room tonight?

I've been clean for more than 2 years and recently got in trouble twice in the same week for dilute UA. I have Hepatitis C and am borderline diabetic. I'm fighting in a treatment facility's 'Kangaroo Court' to prove I did nothing intentionally to dilute my UA. Could my conditions or medications affect my creatine levels, leading to dilute UAs?

I have been experiencing increased urination and inflammation on the head of my penis. I've talked to a doctor, had a recent STD check which was negative, and was prescribed Levofloxacin 750 mg for 7 days for a suspected urinary tract infection, but the symptoms have returned. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I scratched my scrotum a couple of days ago, and now I have a localized rash on my scrotum and where my scrotum touches my thighs. The rash constantly itches. I applied Benadryl to it, and it burned intensely. How long have you been dealing with this? Does anything in particular seem to make the itch better or worse? Anything else in your medical history you think the doctor should know? I'm 18, and the rash doesn't seem to be spreading.

I have red streaks down both sides of my throat, some white streaks in the back, and an occasional dry cough with occasional thick phlegm. The left side of my throat hurts severely, even when swallowing. I had my tonsils out a year ago and this pain is comparable. I just finished an antibiotic for a sinus infection two days ago. I also have achy and general tiredness. I take Prilosec daily and have a history of high blood pressure. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I experienced a violent jolt/gasp while waking up, which felt breathing-related and surreal, causing severe anxiety and difficulty falling back asleep. This has happened before, and I have sleep apnea, IBS, and vestibular migraines. I also have health anxiety and have been told I have bad anxiety. What could this be, and how can I manage it?
