My doctor called me and said for me to get to the emergency room because my hemoglobin level is 6.9, red blood count of 3.64, hematocrit level is 23.3, MCV is 64, and iron level is 16. I could not speak with him and the person that called me could not explain this to me. Help.

My husband recently had a hair follicle test for work and tested positive for methamphetamine, despite not using any illegal drugs. He has been sick for two weeks and taking over-the-counter medications like NyQuil and DayQuil, as well as prescription medications including indomethacin, pioglit, and atorvastatin. Can these medications cause a false positive for methamphetamine, and how can we confirm the results?

I'm 75 years old, a farmer who sweats a lot, especially under my breast. Over the last two months, I've developed irritation under my breast due to perspiration. I've tried creams and medicated powder, but the condition seems to be spreading. I've also noticed an increase in skin tags and moles on my body and chest. Will medication or proper creams help? I also have a history of losing a kidney due to blood clots five years ago, but it was not cancerous.

I have been experiencing stomach cramps, bloating, loss of appetite, and weight loss for a month. I have had a CT scan, endoscopy, biopsy, colonoscopy, and blood work, all of which were normal. I take antacids, probiotics, and anxiety medication, but my symptoms are progressing. I am concerned this could be a missed stomach cancer or other serious condition. How likely is it that this is a missed diagnosis, and what else could it be?
