Bone marrow patients must wait at least one year to receive immunizations. What is the reason for waiting 1 year? What can the vaccines do to the immune system if done sooner? If a patient relapses and gets into another complete remission, when should the waiting period for the 1 year start (from time of bone marrow transplant or from when the bone marrow recovers from the second treatment and successful remission)?

I am an 84-year-old male in good health with a slow and recently irregular heartbeat, sometimes as low as 33 beats per minute and intervals as slow as 4 seconds. I have experienced occasional lightheadedness for the past 2-3 years, sometimes while lying down. I take medications including Benicar, Crestor, a full aspirin daily, and vitamins. A pacemaker has been recommended. What do you think about the urgency of getting a pacemaker, and what could happen if I don't get one?

I have a tickling sensation in one ear canal during a PET scan. The same side of my face is slightly swollen and has a pressure sensation. I also have a history of breast cancer 8 years ago. What could be the cause of these symptoms, other than cancer or a benign tumor?

I sprayed 24D yesterday while wearing a mask. My wife had flu-like symptoms but is now well. I have vomited twice today, have a temperature ranging from 100 to 101 degrees, feel tired, and have no other symptoms. I washed my hands and took a shower when I got home. I am diabetic and have no insurance. What do you think?

I am experiencing lightheadedness, weakness in both arms, and slight nausea. I haven't checked my blood pressure, and the symptoms have only been present for a few days. There have been a few instances of slight numbness in the arms. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?
