An 82-year-old female has extremely low energy, with symptoms beginning on 2/6. She has had two doctor visits and one ER visit, with all lab tests coming back normal. She drinks 60 oz of water daily but eats very little. She is on multiple medications including Sotalol, Carvedilol, Hydrochlorothiazide, Lasartan, Amlodipine, Metformin, Ranitidine, Doxazosin, Atorvastatin, Rinitidine, Trazodone (as needed), and Baclofen. She has a medical history of a kidney removed due to cancer in 2004, diverticulitis with left side colon removal in 2007, and a defibrillator implanted in 2015. What could be causing her low energy, and what additional tests should be considered?

Despite a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, and no genetic history of cardiovascular disease, I am seeking insight into why this condition developed. What have I done wrong, and what factors might contribute to this disease?

I take metformin with trospium. Is this combination good, and what can be done if trospium does not help with my overactive bladder problem, which is worse at night? Are there tests to diagnose overactive bladder, and what are the treatment options, including minor surgeries?

I'm a 20-year-old male with a strange pain on the head of my penis, redness around the foreskin, and inability to retract it. The symptoms have been present for about 3 days. I have not used any medication and have not seen a doctor. I have experienced pain during urination, mild swelling around the foreskin and head of the penis, and have not had unprotected sex. What could be the issue and what should I do?

If on antibiotics for a nasal infection, would they help treat swollen lymph nodes in the neck, or do I still need to get tests done?

The metal on my bread maker pan (Model SD-BT66P) is showing significant wear marks where the blade comes in close proximity to two 'ribs' which are on diagonally opposite sides of the pan. Given damage to the pan and metal loss, I am wondering if this presents any health problems either through metal being swallowed or some type of chemical reaction when eating the bread. I have two small grandkids and I'm concerned.
