I am 22 years old, 25 weeks pregnant, 5'5" and 260 pounds, with thalassemia minor, bad anxiety, and white coat syndrome. My blood pressure is perfect at home but spikes at the doctor's. I'm worried about high blood pressure during labor leading to seizures or strokes, and about preclampsia despite taking baby aspirin daily. Will I be able to have an uncomplicated vaginal birth with a midwife and doula? What are the chances of these complications?

I have been suffering from fatigue and other symptoms since 2016, and despite trying various medications and treatments, I haven't found the cause or cure. I have a history of eating disorders, insomnia, and anxiety, and I've taken laxatives, water pills, and different supplements. I've had multiple blood tests but found no clear cause. What could be causing my fatigue and what additional tests or treatments should I consider?

20 mg of Cialis is no longer effective for me. I am 75 years old, active, 5'10" tall, and weigh 218 lbs. I have no heart, liver, or other major health issues other than high cholesterol, for which I am taking 20 mg of lovastatin. I also take Aleve for arthritis. Can I increase the Cialis dosage?

I have had a chronic cough for 7 months resulting from two colds one after the other in February. I have seen doctors and a consultant, all have done tests on lungs, asthma, scans, blood tests, all tests have come back clear. No sign of cancer etc. I have taken various medications including mometasone steroid spray with omeprazole, and acetylcysteine to loosen mucos. This helped with relief but did not get rid of the cough, which has now turned into a dry cough. Tried gargling with salt and honey solutions but can't find a cure or proper advice. What could be causing the cough and what further steps should I take?
