I am experiencing a very bloated stomach which causes difficulty breathing. I am a 54-year-old woman, I do not smoke or drink, and I have had diarrhea for several months. I have been getting headaches more lately and was on lisinopril for blood pressure about a year ago. I have not seen a doctor due to affordability issues. What could be causing my symptoms and what steps should I take?

I was taking cipro and bactrim, and after finishing the medication, my right hand swelled up. I went to the hospital and was prescribed zpack, but now my face and lip are swollen. Do you think I am having a reaction to the zpack?

I'm currently taking Lo Estrin 24 FE birth control. I've been on it for the past six months and have had regular, light periods with mild cramping. I take this pill every day and may only be late in taking it by a couple of hours if it happens. I was supposed to have my period on July 9th and experienced some brown spotting when I wiped and had some old, clott-y blood but that was it. For three days, I cramped like it was going to start but it hasn't yet. I am sexually active but use condoms in addition to taking the pill. I've taken 5 at home pregnancy tests and they all have been negative. What's going on?
